(Reuters) -Los Angeles marked 1,000 days to go until its first Paralympic Games by unveiling on Wednesday an initial competition schedule for the 2028 event, which organizers say will feature more sports, sessions and medals than ever before.

The LA28 organizing committee said the event would include 23 sports and 560 medal events across 294 sessions, developed with international federations and Olympic Broadcasting Services to balance athlete wellbeing with global broadcast opportunities.

“Los Angeles’ first Paralympic Games means so much to all of us, and our teams have made it their mission to create a competition schedule guided by and geared toward the needs of the athletes,” Ileana Rodriguez, LA28 vice president of Paralympic strategy and relations, told Reuters.
