The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will include 48 medal events from August 1 and August 11, 2024. The tournament will feature an equal number of events for men and women, which is a first in Olympic history. Four locations will be used: the Stade de France for track and field, the Pont d’Iéna for race walking and the Hôtel de Ville and Les Invalides for the marathon.
Notable modifications include a repechage phase for individual track events ranging from 200m to 1500m and hurdles, which gives runners a second opportunity to advance. The mixed relay marathon race walking event will be introduced at these Games.
The qualification procedure is based on entrance requirements and global rankings. If the requirements are met, each NOC may participate up to three competitors in each individual event. The marathon qualification season lasts from November 2022 to April 2024, while other events qualify from July 2023 to June 2024.
