The   Womens  100  metres  champion  at  the  Los  Angeles  Olympics  in  2028  will  be  decided  on  the  opening  day  with  all  three  rounds  of  the  event  to  feature  on  th first  day  of  the  Olympics.

For  the  first  time  in  history  athletics   at  the  Olympics  will  run  the  entire  length  of  the  Games starting on day one and running through to the final day.

These  were  confirmed  today following the publication of the Olympic schedule.

The athletics competition will begin with a bang on Saturday July 15, 2028, with all  three  rounds  of  the  womens 100  metres  including the final 

The men’s 10,000m and women’s shot put finals will also feature in the opening session, followed by the men’s 100 metres final on day two.

In total, athletics will be contested across 13 days between  July 15-30 

Finals will feature in 17 of the 20 sessions, with the schedule carefully crafted to allow the maximum number of potential doubles – such as the 100metres and the 200metres, ……the 200metres and 400meters double plus the relays, the 800metres and 1500metres, 1500metres and the 5000metres, in addition to the 5000 and 10,000metres double, and the long jump and triple jump double. 

This opens the door for stars such as Noah Lyles, Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden to emulate the heroics of LA 1984 Olympic legend Carl Lewis, while also enabling middle- and long-distance doubles reminiscent of past Olympic greats.

 World Athletics will now work with the LA28 Organising Committee  over the next 2.5 years to finalise the detailed timetable.

The LA 2028 Olympic Games will take place from July 14  to  30 2028, featuring more than 10,000 athletes from about 200 nations competing in 35 sports.
