L.A. 2028 Olympics To Include New Mixed-Gender Team Events In Golf, Track, & Gymnastics

The Olympics are making big changes for L.A. 2028.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that men and women will compete together in more team events, including golf, track, and gymnastics. IOC sports director Kit McConnell said,

“The mixed events are a real true embodiment of gender equality — men and women competing in the same team, on the same field of play for their country.”
