Former American Olympic swimming champion Janet Evans has been named
as the new vice-chair for the Los Angeles 2024 Olympic bid committee.
Evans will head up the athletes’ commission as part of her role.
“I’m honored to join this team and will do everything I can to help
L.A.’s bid,” Evans said in a press release. “I remember sitting in the
stands as a young fan at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum in 1984, and those
athletes truly inspired my athletic pursuits.”
Evans will work closely with Olympians and Paralympians to ensure
their voices are heard as Los Angeles bids for the 2024 Olympics against
Budapest, Hamburg, Paris and Rome.
