The women's 100 metres final will headline the first day of competition at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, organizers said on Wednesday, part of a reshaped schedule that moves athletics into week one and gives swimmers the rare chance to attend the Opening Ceremony.
LA28 officials said the switch stems from venue logistics at SoFi Stadium, which will host parts of the Opening Ceremony and swimming.
Athletics will be held at LA Memorial Coliseum and run first to allow time to convert SoFi for aquatics in week two.
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said the plan, which will see the women run every round of the 100m on the same day, was "overwhelmingly" supported by the athletes and coaches consulted.
