Seems a bit earlier this time, the first week seems to clash with the end of the school term which is frustrating.

Memories os staying up all night to watch Daley Thompson in '84...in fact I think I was pretty much nocturnal for the duration of the games

Not convinced about the 100m being all in one day if you want to see the best possible final - the Olympics is meant to be the best of the best, and you want that in the final!

Happy to eat my hat should I be wrong.

The women's 100m is all on day one (prelims, round 1, semis and final), but the men's is split over day 1 and day 2 (prelims and round 1, and then semis and final on the second day). It looks like the men's schedule is the usual way of doing it, so don't know why the women are having to run four times in one day.
