But still holding firm on the W 100m 3 (or 4) races in one day.

Besides the radical new football schedule, there was a bit of clarification of the tennis schedule. The women's singles medal matches will be during the day on July 27, and the men's doubles in the evening. July 28 will see the men's singles during the day and women's doubles in the evening. Bit of an odd schedule there, actually.

New schedule posted. https://la28.org/content/dam/latwentyeight/competition-schedule-imagery/uploaded-march-16-v-3-0/LA28OlympicGamesCompetitionScheduleByEventV3.0.pdf

Ok, that makes sense.

So there is no continental restrictions on the qualification?

I am in Southern California, where I also teach. Mad for the Olympics and super-crazed for them to be here in 2028. These games will be fun too. I don't post much but pleased to have my status raised to "senior member"..

If you watch NBC's preview, you would think USA is going to win all the medals. Probably going to be short of that, but agree the prospects are good.

It was strange... talked to several people and all had the same experience of getting to the front of the line and then being put at the back of a second line. BTW meant to compliment you on the excel layout of the TV schedule

Got in and registered, though they put me in two separate queues. Hoping to get into the early Southern California purchase slot, though it seems nothing is certain.

They wanted a slam-bang finish to night 1 (and USA gold perhaps), and the men's 10K just wasn't going to cut it.

Paradoxically, since I live in the Los Angeles area, I have to balance the TV plan with the plan to actually go to a ton of events. I doubt I will sleep much.

Rugby should not start this early, regardless. Nobody should be eliminated from medal contention before the opening ceremony, and yet most rugby teams were/will be.

I am so excited for this. @clemsonbeav, @rafalgorka this is what we live for.

While my head was turned, finally the mountain bike venue was announced: https://www.singletracks.com/mtb-trails/the-2028-olympic-mountain-bike-course-will-be-located-at-industry-hills/ This is much closer to downtown LA than Bonelli park (the previously presumed location) would be. I don't know this particular location, but it is a very hilly area generally so could be a good choice.

An amazing achievement!!! More kudos @clemsonbeav. As for the more detailed schedules, in looking back at my own versions from Paris, the events schedule was in place by August of 2022 (and it had events included). I went to the federation websites to get the within-event timings (e.g. on the Athletics Day 1 schedule, what was the start time of the M 10000 race). These were released gradually, through early 2023. (Rowing, Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, maybe others) The qualification pairings of the team sports went on through the first half of 2024, from January (Hockey) through June (Men's basketball). It was pretty unusual for even this bare-bones schedule to be released this early.
