LA 2024 and the LA84 Foundation today hosted 500 young Angelenos at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, leading the American observance of Olympic Day 2016. Nationwide, the United States Olympic Committee projected that Olympic Day 2016 saw a record-setting 2,120 scheduled events in 1,503 communities, engaging nearly 900,000 Americans in celebration of the Olympic Movement. Cosponsored by the Foundation for Global Sports Development and Nike, the Los Angeles celebration offered young Angelenos the opportunity to rotate through nine Olympic and Paralympic sport stations, led by LA84 Foundation grantee programs, local sport and adaptive programs.
