Olympic trials are long behind us, and it's just about time for the world's best track and field athletes to prove themselves on the 2024 Olympics stage. Paris is welcoming hundreds of track and field stars to compete for a total of 144 medals between 48 different medal events.
Forty-three different countries earned a track and field medal in Tokyo three years ago, but no country rivaled the United States' total. Team USA walked away with 26 total medals, including seven gold medals. Only Kenya, with 10, joined the U.S. with double-digit medals.
Team USA's track and field medal count was down from 2016, though. The rest of the world is bringing its own great athletes and will be looking to close the gap even further in Paris.
Here's a complete look at the event schedule for track and field at the Paris Olympics, including the start date for the competition.
