2016 Olympics Track and Field Schedule

The 2016 Summer Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The track and field portion of the Games begins on Friday, Aug. 12 and runs through Sunday, Aug. 21. The main difference between this year’s schedule and the 2012 Olympic schedule is the number of morning finals. In London, only three events held finals during a morning session – the 50-kilometer race walk and both of the marathons. In Rio, each of the nine morning sessions will feature at least one final. The marathons and the 50-kilometer race walk will again hold morning finals, along with the men’s and women’s discus throw, the men’s and women’s steeplechase, the women’s 10-kilometer race walk and hammer throw, plus the men’s triple jump and 400-meter hurdles.
