<\/p>\nThe Olympic spirit is coming to communities across the country.<\/p>\n
Organizers of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games announced the Olympic Torch Relay will travel through all 50 states before reaching Los Angeles for the Summer Games.<\/p>\n
The relay will begin in Atlanta, the host city of the 1996 Summer Olympics and the last U.S. city to host the Summer Games.<\/p>\n
The Olympic flame will first be lit in Olympia, Greece, before beginning its journey across the United States in spring 2028.<\/p>\n
For Texans, that means the Lone Star State will be part of the historic 50-state journey, although specific stops, including whether the torch will come through Houston, have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
LA28 says the full route will be announced in 2027.<\/p>\n
Organizers say the relay is expected to pass through major landmarks and cultural and sporting events, with festival celebrations planned in select cities along the way.<\/p>\n
The journey will culminate in Los Angeles, where the flame will be used during the Opening Ceremony of the 2028 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
The Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays will also involve communities across the country, with the Paralympic relay taking place after the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
More information about torchbearer nominations and additional relay details is expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n
The LA28 Olympic Games will take place in Los Angeles in 2028.<\/p>\n
