Sunisa Lee Signals Comeback Ahead of LA 2028

Sunisa Lee, the six-time Olympic medallist who won Tokyo 2020 all-around gold, team silver and uneven bars bronze and helped the U.S. to team gold in Paris 2024, announced her return to gymnastics after a two-year hiatus, sharing an Instagram video in which she says 'I'm back' and hints at chasing LA 2028. She cites readiness after a health battle—diagnosed chronic kidney disease in 2023—and mental-health struggles—while noting she feels good with less daily training. Jade Carey also recently returned from a similar break, and Simone Biles remains unsure about competing in LA.

LA28 Public Ticket Drop Opens; No Finals Swimming Tickets in Early Release

Tickets for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics opened to the general public today, but there are no finals swimming tickets in Drop 1; prelims are available only in the top-tier category A, with prelim prices around $1,100, while finals range from about $186 to $1,860. Finals had already sold out in the local LA/OKC presale, and organizers say additional inventory will be released in later drops. If future drops don’t free up swimming sessions, non-locals may need to rely on resale markets due to high demand.

Katie Ledecky and Katie Grimes: Olympic Dreams from 2024 to 2028

Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky expressed her love for swimming and stated that she doesn't see herself retiring after the Paris 2024 Olympics. While she didn't fully commit, Ledecky mentioned that the LA 2028 Olympics are "definitely in the picture" if she still enjoys the sport and feels capable. Ledecky aims to become the first swimmer to win six world titles in the 800 free at the upcoming World Championships. If she competes in Paris 2024 and LA 2028, she would join Michael Phelps and Dara Torres as the only American swimmers to attend five Olympics.
