Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic sport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Athletics at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles will be held between July 15 and July 30, 2028.[1] The sport will feature 48 medal events, with 23 men's and women's events and 2 mixed events, with 1,810 athletes (equal number of men and women) competing.[2][3] The events will be within track and field (44 events at the LA Memorial Coliseum), race walking (2), and road running (2 events starting at the Venice Beach Boardwalk).[2]

| Venue | Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Venice Beach Boardwalk (marathon start) |
| Dates | July 15 – July 30, 2028 |
| No. of events | 48 (23 men, 23 women, 2 mixed) |
| Competitors | 1,810 (905 men and 905 women) |
The 4x100 mixed relay will debut at LA28.[2] However, neither the number of mixed events, nor the number of events for men or women, will change as the marathon race walk mixed relay will be discontinued after its only appearance in 2024. Some in the race walking community have criticized the decision as it leaves the discipline with only 1 event per gender, the half marathon race walk, which will replace the 20km walk.[4][5]
Venues
Track and field events will be held in the LA Memorial Coliseum which will become the first venue to host events at 3 Olympic Games. It previously hosted 1932 and 1984 Games.[6][2] Both marathons will start at Venice Beach Boardwalk and courses for both marathon and race walk events are expected to be announced by LA28 at a future date.[2][7]
