The chances of seeing Thea LaFond compete at the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics are very high.
While she initially expressed a desire to take things one step at a time and reflect on her future after her historic gold medal victory in Paris, recent developments strongly point toward her competing in LA:
Official Scholarship Backing: The Dominica Olympic Committee confirmed that LaFond is a recipient of the Olympic Solidarity Scholarship for Los Angeles 2028, explicitly stating that they look forward to supporting her ongoing journey toward the LA28 Games.
Peak Professional Form: Far from slowing down, she is dominating her sport. She leading the world rankings in the women's triple jump, recently destroying the national record with a massive 15.25m leap at the Zagreb Golden Meet in Croatia.
Proximity to Home: LA28 is practically a home game for her. Born in Dominica, LaFond moved to the U.S. at age 5 and currently lives and trains in Silver Spring, Maryland. She has noted that having the Olympics back across the Atlantic makes the logistics significantly easier.
Barring any unforeseen injuries or an unexpected retirement, the reigning Olympic Champion is heavily tipped to return to the world stage to defend her title.
