The proposed schedule for the women’s 100m event at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles has sparked significant backlash, with Julien Alfred’s agent, Henry Rolle, leading the charge against what he describes as an unfair and inequitable decision. The controversy stems from the plan to hold all three rounds of the women’s 100m—heats, semifinals, and final—on the same day, a move unprecedented in Olympic history. While organizers have framed this as a way to kick off the Games with one of the most electrifying events, athletes and coaches have criticized the lack of recovery time, especially since the men’s 100m retains its traditional two-day format. Rolle, a seasoned coach and advocate for athlete rights, has publicly condemned the decision, citing persistent scheduling inequities that disadvantage female sprinters. He highlighted the physical toll on athletes, referencing the 2024 Olympics, where women’s 200m rounds began less than 12 hours after the 100m final, leaving competitors with minimal rest. Rolle has called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to uphold principles of fairness and equity, emphasizing that women athletes deserve equal conditions and respect. Despite support from some athletes, including Dina Asher-Smith, who praised the opportunity to celebrate women’s sprinting, Rolle and Alfred have refused to endorse the schedule, vowing to advocate for systemic change through media engagement in the UK and France.
