Softball: from Paris 2024 thru today:
2028 LA (OKC) Olympics update
Hear from those who were in Paris last year prepping for the most epic sports events in our state history. And now - the three-year road ahead.
In October, we heard part one of the incredible OKC Olympic story: riversports. Now, we delve into softball as we await the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad.
OKC is the national and international softball capital. Once a poor cousin to baseball, softball is finding a niche - and a financially lucrative one at that. From the Softball Hall of Fame to the ratings giant Womens College World Series and now the world stage.
Panelists:
-
Sue Hollenbeck is the special events manager for the City of OKC. She played a key role securing both Olympic events and is now mapping the '28 road.
-
Craig Cress is the executive director of USA Softball, which owns and operates the National Softball Hall of Fame and Devon Park. USA Softball also produces Team USA, our Olympic representative.
