The LA 2028 Olympics will feature the women’s 100m final on the first day of competition, with the men’s 100m final following on day two, according to the schedule released by Games organisers. The Olympics run from 14 to 30 July, with athletics taking place throughout the entire event at the LA Memorial Coliseum and swimming moving to the second week to be staged at SoFi Stadium.
World Athletics president Lord Coe said the early placement of the 100m finals is designed to maintain strong global interest after the opening ceremony. British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith welcomed the decision, calling it a historic moment as women’s sprinting reaches the 100-year mark since women first competed in Olympic track and field.
LA28 is set to be the largest Olympics to date, featuring 36 sports, 51 disciplines, 49 venues across the Los Angeles region and Oklahoma City, and a record number of female athletes. The schedule also includes a major “Super Saturday” on 29 July, with 26 medal finals across 23 sports.
