It's about the permanent outdoor setting "Courthouse Square", a built-up town hall square, located in the theme park Universal Studios Hollywood in the northern parts of the city.

The famous Venice Beach will also host competitions in the summer games to be held in the megacity in the state of California, USA, in about three years. The triathlon competitions, which were initially intended to take place in Long Beach, have been placed there, according to the competition program presented on Tuesday.

"We have promised the world a fantastic Olympic Games and today we are proud to present the plan that will make it a reality", says Reynold Hoover, CEO of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, in a statement.

The baseball tournament in the Olympic Games will be held at Dodger Stadium, where the MLB team LA Dodgers usually play in the North American league. The arena with a capacity for 56,000 spectators also hosted baseball matches when LA last had the summer Olympic Games, 1984.
