With more than three years to go until the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, swimming is already making history as six new sprint medal events are added to the Olympic sports programme<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

LAUSANNE\u2014World Aquatics achieved a significant milestone for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games as the\u00a0International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board<\/a>\u00a0officially approved adding six new events\u2014the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 50m backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly\u2014to the\u00a0LA28 Olympic sports programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This decision follows last week\u2019s approval by the\u00a0Olympic Programme Commission<\/a>\u00a0of World Aquatics\u2019 proposal to include all strokes in the 50m distance. On Wednesday, the IOC Executive Board unanimously endorsed the proposal, marking a significant expansion of Olympic swimming events.<\/p>\n

With this move, swimming will feature 41 medal events at the Olympic Games for the first time, an increase from the 35 medal events at Paris 2024 and Tokyo 2020. Across all five Olympic aquatic disciplines\u2014swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming, and open water swimming\u2014there will now be 55 medal events at LA28, the most ever for any sport at an Olympic Games.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

World Aquatics President Husain Al Musallam hailed the decision, calling it a \u2018landmark moment for swimming and the Olympic Games.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s decision is a testament to the continued evolution of swimming at the Olympic Games. Including these six new events enhances the programme\u2019s balance and adds more opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills on the world\u2019s biggest stage. We thank the IOC for their support in expanding Olympic swimming and can\u2019t wait to watch these incredible athletes compete under the Southern California sky and stars in SoFi Stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swimming has been part of the Olympic Games since the inaugural Athens 1896 edition. Swimming is one of only four sports contested at every Summer Olympics, alongside athletics, artistic gymnastics, and fencing.<\/p>\n

Hungary\u2019s\u00a0Alfred Hajos<\/a>\u00a0became the first Olympic swimming champion, winning gold in the 100m freestyle. The\u00a0first modern Athens Games<\/a>\u00a0featured three other men\u2019s swimming events: the 100m freestyle for sailors, the 400m freestyle, and the 1200m freestyle. Until the\u00a0London 1908 Games<\/a>, all Olympic swimming events were held in open water.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The 50m freestyle was added to the programme at the\u00a0Seoul 1988 Olympics<\/a>, where the USA\u2019s\u00a0Matt Biondi<\/a>\u00a0won men\u2019s gold in world-record time, and GDR\u2019s\u00a0Kristin Otto<\/a>\u00a0triumphed in the women\u2019s event. The men\u2019s and women\u2019s 50m freestyle has been contested at every Summer Olympics since.<\/p>\n

More recently, the Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay, Women\u2019s 1500m Freestyle and Men\u2019s 800m Freestyle debuted at the\u00a0Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games<\/a>, marking another milestone in Olympic swimming history.<\/p>\n

The state-of-the-art stadium, which has also hosted music superstars like Beyonc\u00e9 and Taylor Swift, will be converted into a 38,000-seat open-air natatorium, making it the largest swimming venue in Olympic history. The current record for attendance at a swimming event stands at 22,209 spectators, set during a 2024 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials session at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, another NFL venue repurposed for elite competition.<\/p>\n

The Olympic sports programme, which decides the events contested at a specific edition of the Games, is determined by the IOC Session from among sports governed by\u00a0International Federations<\/a>\u00a0recognised by the IOC.<\/p>\n

The IOC Executive Board is responsible for approving the Olympic event programme, following recommendations from the Olympic Programme Commission. This process is carried out in collaboration with the relevant International Federations and the Organising Committee of the host city.<\/p>\n

When an International Federation proposes a new event, the Olympic Programme Commission conducts a thorough review. This evaluation process involves input from key stakeholders, including athletes, International Federations, and National Olympic Committees, before the IOC Executive Board decides.<\/p>\n
