{{Main|Sports in Los Angeles}}
As a whole, the Los Angeles area has more national championships, all sports combined (college and professional), than any other city in the United States, with over four times as many championships as the entire state of Texas, and just over twice that of New York City.<ref>{{cite web|title=Los Angeles Sports Travel|url=http://losangelessportstravel.com/|access-date=February 1, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100118083840/http://losangelessportstravel.com/|archive-date=January 18, 2010|url-status=usurped}}</ref> It is the only American city to host the summer Olympic games twice: once in [[1932 Summer Olympics|1932]], and more recently in [[1984 Summer Olympics|1984]] (Lake Placid hosted the winter Olympic games twice: once in 1932 and once in 1980). Los Angeles will also be the host of the [[2028 Summer Olympics]], becoming the third city to host three Olympic Games, after [[London]] and [[Paris]].
