Los Angeles has been awarded the third Paraclimbing World Cup of 2021 as the sport continues its bid for Paralympic inclusion at the 2028 Games in the Californian city.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has kick-started preparations for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics by holding workshops with the Organising Committee and stakeholders.

International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Andrew Parsons has said the organisation sees Los Angeles 2028 as an opportunity for the Paralympic Movement because of the Organising Committee’s desire to "make a difference".

International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Sir Philip Craven hopes the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles will provide a platform for his Movement to experience a period of growth in the United States.
