Where will the LA28 Olympic torch relay travel?
Episode 449
Thursday, 15 October, 2026
A lot has been happening in the Olympic world, so on this episode of the podcast, we're bringing you all the latest news. LA 2028 made a big splashy announcement about its torch relay, saying that it would start in Atlanta and travel to all 50 states. This would be the first time a U.S. host city would have a torch relay that did visit every state in the country. While the actual torch relay route is still under wraps, we've discovered several cities that could be stops along the route. We'll tell you what we've uncovered. We also have more hospitality house news for LA28, including where Caribbean House will be located and other houses that are in the works. Plus, the City of LA announced where its fan viewing sites will be located. Alpes 2030 released a shocking new budget for hosting the Games. Also, skating athlete quotas have been adjusted to account for Synchro9's addition. Plus, a new event and some updates on Nordic combined. Brisbane 2032's emblem release was spoiled, but we now have a logo for these Games. We take a look at the cockatoo-inspired emblem and see how it stands up to other logos. Plus, archery and rowing are vying to add events. What could be on the Brisbane 2032 sports program? The International Olympic Committee announced the timeline for selecting the host city for the 2036 Games. They also unveiled the National Olympic Committees that are curently in the running to host, and it's an interesting mix of old and new. Jill will be speaking on the next edition of Torched Talks, Alissa Walker's virtual series about megaevents in Los Angeles. It takes place on Monday, October 19 at noon PT on Zoom and is free. Please join us! Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive! *** Keep the Flame Alive: Obsessed with the Olympics and Paralympics?
