Why isn't the tracking field /running in the Olympic??

Question

All I see is diving, swimming, cycling, and basketball........where is relay and running?!?

Answer 1

Field and track start later than other events in all Olympics games, not just this time. The reason is that they need several day to remodel the stadium Bird's Nest. For the opening ceremony, some special equipments were installed. Those need to be removed. Also some equipments for field and track events, plus those for the closing ceremony, need to be installed. We are talking about hundreds of tons of equipments here. To move them around takes time. And, the most time consuming part would be to plant grass (to move it, actually) for the whole field for the final soccer game.

Answer 2

Track and field events are normally held later during the Olympics.

Answer 3

That's because it isn't time for running yet. Some events are scheduled in another time. Should be soon

Answer 4

They are running on 8/15.  There is a schedule at http://www.nbcolympics.com/trackandfield...
