US Olympic Committee officials are working on the possibility of Los Angeles being offered the 2028 Olympics while focusing on its 2024 bid, USOC chief executive officer Scott Blackmun said Tuesday.

Speaking after the USOC's board of directors meeting in North Carolina, he admitted his group has had to address the possibility the International Olympic Committee (IOC) might change its bid plans to give 2024 finalists Paris and Los Angeles the next two Summer Games, one taking 2024 and the other 2028.
