PARIS 2024 TODAY PUT FORWARD ITS PROPOSAL TO THE IOC FOR NEW SPORTS TO BE INCLUDED ON THE OLYMPIC PROGRAMME, WHICH INCLUDED BREAKING, SKATEBOARDING, SPORT CLIMBING AND SURFING.
Building on the reforms of Olympic Agenda 2020, the IOC has been striving to make the Olympic programme gender-balanced, more youth-focused and more urban.
Breaking, skateboarding and sport climbing all appeared as medal events at the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018, while skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing will make their debuts on the Olympic programme in Tokyo in 2020.
The sports proposed by Paris 2024 will be reviewed by the Olympic Programme Commission. A recommendation by the Commission will then be presented to the IOC Executive Board in March. If accepted, it will then be presented to the IOC Session.
After the Session, and following any necessary observation at the Tokyo 2020 Games, the final event programme and athlete quotas for the new sports will then be finalised.
