STATISTICS / ESTADÍSTICAS
WOMEN / MUJERES
The Women´s Olympic Program has been adding new events since it started in Amsterdam 1928 (where only 4 events were held); but none has disappeared. Thus, all of them are counted in the table below. The last additions were the walk event (1992); the triple jump (1996); the hammer throw (2000); the pole vault (2000); and the steeplechase (2008).
* NOTE: IOC decission of stripping Marion Jones' medals at Sydney 2000 is not into consideration in these stats until a final decision on reallocating the medals be taken. As of August 2008 no time frame for a decision on medal redistribution has been set.
El programa olímpico femenino no ha dejado de aumentar desde que, en 1928, se disputaran 4 pruebas. Ninguna de las añadidas desde entonces ha desaparecido del programa; por lo que todas están contabilizadas en la tabla de abajo. Las últimas incorporaciones han sido la prueba de marcha (1992); el triple salto (1996); el lanzamiento de martillo (2000); el salto con pértiga (2000); y los 3.000 metros obstáculos (2008).
* NOTA: La decisión del COI de retirar la medallas de Marion Jones de Sydney 2000 no se tiene en cuenta en estas estadísticas hasta que se tome una decisión definitiva sobre la reasignación de las medallas. En Ago.2008 todavía no se había puesto fecha para dicha resolución.

* The IOC and IAAF stripped Jones of all medals, points and results received after September 2000 after Jones admitted to using steroids prior to the 2000 Summer Olympics. However, no decision has been adopted whether to upgrade silver and bronze medalists.
* La Federación Internacional de Atletismo suspendió a Jones por dos años y anuló todos sus resultados en las pistas desde septiembre de 2000 después de que la atleta se declarase culpable de haberse dopado durante los Juegos Olímpicos de Sydney 2000. Jones devolvió las cinco medallas, pero todavía no se adoptado ninguna decisión oficial sobre si conceder la medalla de oro a las segundas clasificadas o dejar el puesto vacante.
