California Olympic Pin Club, has been in discussions with Los Angeles City Hall staff concerning the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Torch relay segment for Los Angeles. The 2004 Athens Olympic Torch relay route, through the streets of Los Angeles, was announced on Monday, June 14, 2004. The delay for the announcement has been due to security reasons for this event.

The City of Los Angeles had requested authorization (from the Athens Olympic Torch Relay Committee & Athens 2004 Summer Olympic Organizing committee) to stage a small celebration for the 20th Anniversary of the (1984) XXIII Olympiad of Los Angeles. This event was planned for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum upon the arrival of the Olympic flame.
