The 2024 Paris Olympic Games , with its highly anticipated athletics events, also known as Track and Field, mark a significant sport in the event's history. These events have been part of every Summer Olympic Games since the inaugural modern event in 1896, and the 2024 edition promises to continue this rich tradition with its unique blend of history and innovation.

One enduring link between the original Olympic Games and this year's games is the 200-meter run. This sprinting event, so pivotal that the next Olympiad would be named after the winner in the early years of the modern Olympics, continues to enthrall audiences with its speed and excitement. Today, it remains one of the most thrilling events, and it has become a staple of track and field competitions featuring the fastest men in the world.

Now, the athletics events have grown to 48, with thousands of athletes from all corners of the globe competing for gold. Here is when the Track and Field events start in Paris.
