In a boon to American television viewers — and broadcasters — the 2020 Summer Olympics has arranged gold-medal events in several marquee sports to coincide with prime time in the U.S.
With the Olympics set to run from July 24 through Aug. 9, organizers have also included two “Super Saturdays” and a “Golden Sunday” packed with medal events running back-to-back.
The Saturday before the Aug. 9 closing ceremony will feature 30 finals, including championship games in men’s basketball, soccer and baseball. Elsewhere on the schedule, the men’s and women’s marathon will start at 6 a.m. to avoid potentially hot temperatures later in the day. Organizers have given themselves more than a week to hold four days of surfing competition, depending on wave conditions.
Boxing has been included, but only on a provisional basis while the International Olympic Committee conducts an inquiry into the sport’s scandal-plagued international federation. The IOC could decide to drop the sport or continue without the federation’s involvement.The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
