Sailing Program confirmed for LA 2028

The event program and athlete quotas for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics has been approved by the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

With a total of 351 medal events, 22 more than at Paris 2024 (329), the LA28 program maintains the core athlete quota of 10,500, with an extra 698 quota places allocated for the five sports proposed by the LA28 Organizing Committee (baseball/softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash).

Gender equality was a key consideration when deciding on the athlete quota and the number of events. In the initial sports program, with 10,500 athletes, the number of female athletes is 5,333 and the number of male athletes 5,167.

The additional sports add 322 female athletes and 376 male athletes. In addition, six mixed events were added to the event program. Out of 351 events, there are 161 women’s events, 165 men’s events and 25 mixed events.

As the Sailing Program for Paris 2024 had equal medals and participation for men and women, the same ten events with 330 athletes (165 men and 165 women) was approved for LA 2028. What remains unknown is the Sailing venue, though it is understood that will also soon be revealed.
