2020 Olympic Track and Field Schedule: Full Event Timetable, Final Start Times for Tokyo
2020 Olympic organizers have released the full competition schedule for next year's Summer Games in Tokyo. Nine finals will be contested during morning sessions due to weather considerations and so fans across the world can watch during prime time hours.
The Opening Ceremonies will take place on Friday, July 24th but track and field action will not start until the 31st and runs through August 9th. The final event is the men's marathon, which traditionally has its medal ceremony at the Closing Ceremonies.
“Having finals in the morning, as requested by the International Olympic Committee, will enhance the visibility of athletics across all time zones," International Association of Athletics Federation Competitions Director Paul Hardy said in a release. "The stadium-based distance events remain in the evening sessions to reduce the risk of very hot conditions for our endurance athletes, while the road events will start as early as practicable in the morning. “The new schedule also accommodates both the traditional doubles and the historic addition of the mixed 4 X 400m relay, the first time that athletics has combined the talents of both male and female athletes in one event at the Games.”
The schedule will allow for athletes to be able to attempt doubling in events like the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 80 meters, 1,500 meters, 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters.
A complete events schedule for all sports at the 2020 Games is now available. The full day-by-day track and field schedule with rounds can be found here.
