Barring unprecedented global conflict or severe disruption, LA28's established timeline makes host execution almost certain.
- Los Angeles already has nearly all required venues built, drastically lowering cancellation risks relative to past host cities.
- Only global crises like World Wars or COVID-19 have postponed or cancelled modern Olympics, representing a sub-3% baseline risk.
- Major geopolitical escalation involving the US directly or an extreme local catastrophe would be required to derail the July 2028 games.

LA28 is a locked-in IOC commitment with massive infrastructure and financial investment already underway.
- IOC host selection is finalized since 2017 and LA28 has venues, sponsors, and broadcast deals already secured.
- Olympic Games have essentially never been cancelled outside of world wars or the COVID-era postponement (not cancellation).
- Main residual risk is a catastrophic unforeseen event like major war, pandemic, or natural disaster forcing cancellation rather than postponement.

LA 2028 is contractually awarded and only an extraordinary disruption would stop a U.S.-hosted Olympics.
- The IOC awarded Los Angeles the 2028 Summer Games in 2017, leaving about 20 months for delivery from the stated date.
- Modern awarded Olympics have almost always occurred; Tokyo 2020 was postponed one year rather than cancelled.
- A major war, financial collapse, or security catastrophe forcing cancellation or relocation would materially lower this.

LA28 is already awarded and under construction, so this turns on whether the Games are cancelled or delayed.
- LA28 is contractually awarded by the IOC and already under construction; no further host selection is required.
- The only real risk is a postponement or cancellation, which has never happened to an awarded Games in the modern era.
- The 2028 opening ceremony is set for July 14, 2028, well before the January 1, 2029 deadline.

LA 2028 is firmly scheduled for July 2028; only a catastrophe-scale disruption could prevent it.
- Olympics have been cancelled only three times, all due to world wars; no comparable geopolitical risk exists for 2028.
- Even a Tokyo-style one-year postponement would push past Jan 1 2029, but the probability of such a disruption is very low.
- A novel pandemic or major US domestic crisis causing postponement beyond the 5-month buffer is the main tail risk.

LA 2028 proceeding on its July date, not cancelled or delayed past 2028.
- IOC/LA have binding host contracts and sunk billions; only WWII cancellations and one COVID year-shift in a century.
- A 2027-28 catastrophe (war, mega-disaster) would be required to push past Dec 2028; Salt Lake 2034 is irrelevant.
- Base rate of on-time modern Games is ~95%; two years out this sits slightly below due to residual delay risk.
