The women's 800 metres at the 1928 Summer Olympics took place between August 1 and August 2. Some press reports of the event claimed that many of the competitors were exhausted or failed to finish the race.[1][2] According to Lynne Emery, these reports were inaccurate and the athletes were winded as normal after a race.[1] In any case, the idea that the distance was too great for women prompted the IOC to drop it from the Olympic programme.[2] It was reintroduced in 1960.[2]
