COSTA NAVARINO, Greece — After deadly fires that devastated much of Los Angeles, organizers of the 2028 Olympics tell the IOC how the city will rebuild with help from the Games. Count on Kendrick Lamar, too, to be part of "the greatest show on earth" in three years. LA Olympics organizing committee chairman Casey Wasserman tells The Associated Press the Olympics is a catalyst for "the rebirth, the rebuild, maybe reimagining LA 2.0." Lamar performed a stunning halftime show at the Super Bowl last month and is represented by Wasserman's agency. Wasserman says it's "a fair bet" Lamar will be involved in some way.
