# Olympics: The International Olympic Committee has approved a record 351 medal events for 2028’s Games in Los Angeles – 22 more than in Paris last year. These include the Olympic debuts of the 50-metre backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly for both men and women’s swimmers, and a mixed four-by-100-metre relay on the track. The women’s water polo tournament will see the number of teams raised from 10 to 12, matching the men’s competition. The IOC says these additions reflect its commitment to gender equality.
