British runner Dina Asher-Smith said: “It will be an honor for the women’s 100 meters to open the Los Angeles Games.”
“This is an exciting opportunity – celebrating the enduring legacy, strength and global power of women’s track and field, exactly 100 years after women first competed in Olympic track and field. I can’t wait to put the finishing touches on what will be an exciting and amazing Games.”
The track and field events will be held at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, while the first medal event will be the women’s triathlon and the last will be in swimming.
The swim was moved to the second week so it could be held at the opening ceremony venue, Sophie’s Stadium.
The first official day of the Olympics will also feature the largest number of women’s finals in a single day.
“The LA28 Olympic Games will feature a record number of female Olympians, with each team sport featuring an equal or greater number of women’s teams than men’s teams for the first time ever, and 50.5% of the total athlete quota will be allocated to women across 36 sports and 51 disciplines,” organizers said., external
Details of the Olympic soccer tournament, which will be held across the United States, and the Paralympics in Los Angeles, scheduled for August 15-27, have not yet been announced.
