“It was an immense honor to participate in this moment of history and it was such a privilege to stand with Simone Biles – someone who has made the entire country proud,” said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. “It’s my hope that when girls around the world watched the first woman, Mayor of Paris, officially hand off the flag to the first woman, Mayor of Los Angeles, they were inspired. Together, we sent the message to girls all around the world that they can do anything — they can run for gold, and they can run for office. I want to recognize the City of Paris and Mayor Hidalgo for being such extraordinary hosts. Tonight, we exchanged more than just the flag. We sent a message all across the world. Now, it’s time for Los Angeles to show the world just how special our city is, and to host the most impactful Olympic and Paralympic Games yet that focus on helping local small businesses, creating local jobs and creating lasting environmental and transportation improvements throughout Los Angeles that generate tangible benefits to Angelenos for generations to come.”
