The women's 800 metres at the 1928 Summer Olympics took place between August 1 and August 2.[1] Some press reports of the event claimed that many of the competitors were exhausted or failed to finish the race.[2][3] According to Lynne Emery, these reports were inaccurate and the athletes were winded as normal after a race.[2] In any case, the idea that the distance was too great for women prompted the IOC to drop it from the Olympic programme.[3] It was reintroduced in 1960.[3]
