Overview

  • Athletics will run from the first to the last day of the Games, with all three rounds of the women’s 100 meters set for July 15 in prime time at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
  • LA28 targets 50.5% of athlete quotas for women and parity in team sports, with the first medal awarded in the women’s triathlon at Venice Beach on July 15.
  • Swimming shifts to week two at SoFi Stadium due to venue logistics, with the final medal of the Games awarded in the women’s 4x100 medley relay on July 30.
  • July 29 is designated “Super Saturday,” featuring 26 medal events across 23 sports, including 15 team finals.
  • The published timetable creates notable competitive trade-offs, including a reported clash that makes a 400m/400m hurdles double for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone effectively unworkable.
