LA: The Olympic Repeat Offender
You might think hosting the Olympics once is a big deal, right? Well, think again. LA is like that kid who aces every test – they’ve hosted the Summer Olympics twice. Yes, you read that right. Twice.
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
The first time LA got the Olympic fever was in 1932. Think flappers, the Great Depression, and people somehow finding the energy to run really fast. The second time around was in 1984. Picture big hair, neon colors, and a whole lot of ‘80s nostalgia.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Why LA, Why?
Okay, so why does LA keep getting the Olympic nod? Is it the weather? The glamour? The endless supply of protein shakes? Well, it’s probably a mix of all those things. But seriously, LA has proven itself as a capable host city. They know how to throw a party, and they certainly know how to organize a massive sporting event.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.

QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
