Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stepped off the plane dressed in a red tracksuit, smiled broadly and waved the Olympic flag before descending airstairs to be greeted by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Olympic diver Delaney Schnell, skateboarder Tate Carew and others accompanied the mayor. Bass acknowledged Paris had set a high bar as an Olympic host, and that LA's homelessness problem would be a challenge to overcome. But the City of Angels has one world-class asset that nobody else can claim:"We do have Hollywood, so I expect a lot of magical opportunities," she told Reuters in Paris.
