LA28 unveils Paralympics venue plan
Events of the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympic Games will be held in downtown LA, Exposition Park, Venice Beach, Long Beach, Carson and Arcadia under the venue plan released by Games organisers LA28 on Tuesday. Like the LA Olympics, the Paralympics will seek to take advantage of the city's vast network of existing sports venues when it hosts the event for the first time. Downtown LA will be a major hub of activity with wheelchair fencing, para judo, para taekwondo, boccia and para table tennis all held at the Convention Center. 'By hosting multiple competitions side by side, the events will encourage constant movement, shared fan engagement and a festival-like environment that highlights the diversity of athletic performance,' LA28 said in a release. Wheelchair basketball will be held at the Arena, home of the NBA's LA Lakers, with the U.S. men's team looking to capture a fourth consecutive gold medal.

With every competition venue within a 35-mile radius, the venue plan seeks to minimise travel times for athletes staying in the Paralympic Village, LA28 said. 'As a result, for the first time since Rio 2016, Paralympians across every sport will have the opportunity to be housed together at the Olympic and Paralympic Village, which will be based on UCLA's campus,' LA28 said, referring to the University of California, Los Angeles. The Paralympics will be held from August 15-27 in 2028. Related Topics LA28

Hitesh, ranked 83, the last player to make the cut for the junior qualifying draw, which he survived over the weekend, was up against Fredrik Hede, ranked 42. Hitesh, 17 from Ludhiana, who trains with Aditya Sachdev, strikes a big forehand and likes to run around his backhand, he swept to a 4-1 lead in the first set. When the Swede broke the Indian at love in the sixth game it looked like trouble, but Hitesh came back with a strong hold before serving out the set in the tenth game.
