COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The leader of USA Track and Field cut through confusion surrounding the 2028 Olympic trials, saying the preference is to hold them in the LA Coliseum several weeks before the actual Olympic track meet takes place there. Max Siegel tells The Associated Press that the goal is to give U.S. athletes the closest thing to a simulation of the actual Olympics, and that there is no better place to do that than holding the trials in the same stadium as the Games. He also says plans are for the meet, which has traditionally been spread over 10 days, to be shortened in 2028.
