From there, Paris considered which sports could fit into that vision, he explains. Roughly 15 different sports, including squash, billiard sports, and chess, submitted proposals to Paris with the hopes of making the city’s short list. Paris’s final recommendation, says McConnell, was based on what they felt best fit their vision of the games, and happened to include three sports already on the list for Tokyo. Never in the history of modern Olympics has so many new sports made their debut than in Tokyo 2020. Skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing and karate have now got their maiden Olympic champions, while softball and baseball returned to the Games since they were last seen in 2008.
Paris, the 2024 host city, wants to reach young city dwellers. Now that the Tokyo 2020 Olympics has wrapped up, the Land of the Rising Sun has passed the torch to La France! The City of Love is set to host the next summer Olympics in what will be called Paris 2024.
Mr. McConnell said that cross-country was shown to be too complex and expensive to hold. “I don’t think they will affect the Olympics at all really, they might attract younger crowds who are more prone to playing those types of sports. Many more athletes will be able to test their skills in tournament fashion with their sports included as well,” saidRiley Gleason (‘22). Baseball event, who’s fans were excited for its return as an Olympic sport at Tokyo after a 13-year and two-olympics absent, is removed again from the Olympics schedule for Paris 2024.

1the New Sports At The Next Olympics
The first swimming gold medal will be awarded on July 27, and the first athletic gold on August 2. As far as weightlifting is concerned, as PTI reported last December the number of events have come down to 10 from 14 events in Tokyo. Breakdancing, which grew up alongside hip hop in the South Bronx of New York in the 1970s and is officially known in sports terms as ‘breaking’, appeared at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, in the form of head-to-head ‘battles’. The Olympics are adding a few new sports to the repertoire for the Paris games. France has been dominant in handball with four medals and four golds in the Olympics. They dominated both the men’s and women’s competitions at Tokyo 2020.
On 13 December 2021, it was announced that the opening ceremony will feature athletes being transported by boat from Pont d’Austerlitz to Pont d’Iéna along the Seine river.

So regardless of which sports make the cut, we’ll have lots to celebrate and cheer for in Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022, Paris 2024, and beyond. First, here’s a little context on how new sports are added to the Olympics. We chatted with McConnell to learn more about this shift in direction for the Olympics, the details of Paris’s proposal, exactly how new sports are added to the Olympics, and other highlights in the works for the 2024 Games.
It was no surprise that skateboarding and surfing were added to the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, as both have been part of the Summer X Games for years. It’s no surprise that surfing, with Tahiti approved as the venue two years ago, is scheduled for the first four full days of the Games, allowing cushion in case weather forces delays. Surfing debuted at the Tokyo Games and will remain on the program through the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
What Olympic Sports Does The Us Not Compete In 2021?
That represents a decrease of 600 from the Tokyo Games, while gender equality would be obtained for the first time in Olympic history in Paris. The boxing events, to be held at the iconic Roland-Garros Stadium in Paris, starts on July 27 and will run till August 10. Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain, who won bronze in the women’s 69kg category at the Tokyo Olympics, will need to shift weight classes for Paris 2024. Moreover, some of the events will happen in locations that few can anticipate.
Nonetheless, tug-of-war was something society took seriously. And if a man trained hard enough, and did not succumb to scurvy on the boat ride to the games, he could make his country proud by relentlessly tugging on a rope. Parkour takes the precision and athleticism of gymnastics to the streets. It’s currently under the wing of Red Bull, which has grown the sport enormously and hosted competitions all around the world.
The goal is to include sports that fit the host city’s vision for the Games as well as sports that are particularly popular in the host country. The only requirement for proposed sports, says McConnell, is that they have an international federation recognized by the IOC, which helps the IOC build appropriate qualification systems. Skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing will be featured in 2024. With the latest breakdancing implementation, baseball and karate are left out. Five years ago, the decision to include these sports was made by the International Olympics Committee to appeal to the youth.
Breaking will include head-to-head matchups for men’s and women’s competitions, as well as judges to decide the medals. The IOC confirmed the event programme, related athlete quotas and the integration of new sports for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in December 2020. The first gold medal will be presented on July 27, the day after the opening ceremony, with cycling, judo, fencing, diving, rugby, shooting, swimming, and skateboarding medals all set to be awarded. In shooting, the trap mixed team event has been replaced with skeet mixed team event. The changes are in line with the trend of increasing women’s weight classes as the Rio Olympics only had three, which was increased by two for the Tokyo Games.
With China hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics in its host city of Beijing from February 4 to February 20, many are looking ahead to the next Winter Olympics in 2026. It’s got the spectator-value of an Olympic event, but not the global popularity . Squash is one of those sports that is insanely popular in a few countries and pretty much unknown everywhere else. With glass walls and cameras mounted around the court, squash is a great spectator sport. Squash has already made many failed attempts to launch itself into the Olympics, perhaps 2024 is its year. With that in mind, let’s look even further forward at which sports could or should find their way into the 2024 games , along with their odds of cracking the field.
