Didn't look through everything but some sports including triathlon and tennis are moving from their usual spots on the schedule.

Lots of action before the opening ceremonies :O

 

Also Rugby 7s being a day one medal continues from Paris, for the same reason (the venue being shared with another sport, this time archery).

So i guess water polo will switch to a format with 3 groups of 4 and then quarter finals, with no more placement matches. And either the women's or the men's finals will probably be the day after the semis without a rest day.

And triathlon and canoe slalom will be fighting for the first medals awarded

This definitively makes me want to do a little pit stop in Oklahoma at the start of the games 👀

Some other rather interesting things...

 

Sailing split into 2

 

The golf schedule looks... Interesting (but I guess they're just missing the medal session on day day 8?

 

Not a big fan of all football semis the same stadium. That schedule on day 11 does especially feel like a recipe for disaster if it goes into extra time and penalties.

 

Medal session on day 2 of tennis - Guess that's the new mixed tournament?

Haven't looked at full schedule yet, but anything that splits the programme more evenly and longer is a big plus for me. Full 3 weeks is a must and hopefully something soon.
