Los Angeles is officially three years out from the Olympic Games and to mark the occasion, organizers on Monday released a preview of the competition schedule.
Track and field will dominate the first week of the Games at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, and swimming will close it out at SoFi Stadium.
It's a switch-up from how things have historically been done. Typically, track and field athletics are in the second week of the 2028 Games. Some things aren't changing though — the marathon will still take place on the competition's final weekend, starting on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
The rest of the Games will take place across the region, temporarily transforming many of Los Angeles's most historic and treasured locations.
