The 2026 Winter Olympics have ended, which means fans are now looking forward to the next Games, which takes place on American soil in Los Angeles.
To kick off the two-year wait, NBC released a promotional video featuring Kate Hudson singing ‘California Dreamin” on Tuesday, Feb. 22. The video showcased numerous Team USA stars like Katie Ledecky, Steph Curry and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the famous Los Angeles Coliseum and even the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 2028 Summer Olympics are the first stateside Games since 2002, when the Winter Olympics were held in Salt Lake City. Flag football will debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics for the first time, bringing the popular U.S. sport to the global stage in a non-tackle version.
Hudson’s newest movie, ‘Song Sung Blue’ alongside Hugh Jackman, is streaming exclusively on Peacock, an NBC platform, which explains the connection with the Olympics video.
The United States had a successful finish at the Milano-Cortina Games, finishing with the second-most gold medals and total medals of any country, only behind Norway. The U.S. ended Sunday, Feb. 22, with an overtime win over gold-medal favorite Canada in men’s hockey to win its first gold since 1980.
The United States finished with the most medals (126) at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris but was tied with China for the most gold medals with 40. The U.S. will certainly have extra motivation to dominate the gold medal count with the Games being held in the states.
For now, Team USA fans have Hudson to get them excited for the next Summer Games.
