Closing Ceremony
Olympics, athletes competed for four
days, rested for one day and then
competed for another four days, in
Moscow they had five competition
days before a rest day, followed by
another three days of competitions.
The estimated number of participants
in each of the 38 athletics events
and a list of possible clashes, where
the same athlete might be down for
more than one event at a time, were
drawn up. The aim was to ensure that
there would not be more than two
field competitions at the same time as
running events. The finals of these
competitions, when held in one shift,
were, as a rule, moved in time.

Frederick Holder and Artur Takac took
an active part in drawing up the
athletics schedule. In the spring of
1978 it was approved by the IAAF
council. The OCOG-80 conducted similar
work with the IFs of other sports.
This was finished by mid-1978.
On July 20, 1978 the OCOG-80
forwarded the hour-by-hour timetable
for the events of the Games in 12
sports to all the NOCs recognised by
the IOC. Then as the IFs approved the
timetables for the rest of the nine
sports, they were sent to the NOCs.
This made it possible for competitors
to plan their training within
the limits of a weekly cycle, in accordance
with the time of their future
performances at the Games.
