Los Angeles, you’re next. Paris raised the game for the Paralympics with more than 4,000 athletes and 2.4 million tickets sold. Now the challenge for U.S. organizers is to top it with another breakout moment for para sports. Craig Spence, a spokesman for the International Paralympic Committee, says the IPC’s goal is to “conquer America.” LA28’s chief executive officer, Reynold Hoover, is confident the Paralympics can do just that through a combination of great venues, volunteerism at the sites and storytelling about the athletes.
