Five new sports have been added for 2028 LA Games

There are five sports that have been finally added in 2028 Los Angeles Games by International Olympics Committee on October 16th.

Here are name's of them:-

 Cricket



Flag Football



Baseball - Softball



Lacrosse



Squash 





Cricket, Baseball - Softball and lacrosse are making their comeback in Olympics while Flag Football and Squash are making their debut in 28' LA Olympics.

Baseball and softball have been part of the programme at several editions of the Olympic Games, most recently at Tokyo 2020.

Cricket was on the programme for the Olympic Games Paris 1900.

Lacrosse was included on the programme at St Louis 1904 and London 1908.

Flag football and squash will make their Olympic debut at LA28.

“The choice of these five new sports is in line with the American sports culture and will showcase iconic American sports to the world, while bringing international sports to the United States. These sports will make the Olympic Games LA28 unique,” said IOC President Thomas Bach

Modern pentathlon and weightlifting

The IOC Session also supported the recommendations made by the IOC EB concerning the status of modern pentathlon and weightlifting, which were not part of the initial sports programme for LA28.



Modern pentathlon: The IOC Session endorsed the recommendation from the IOC EB to include modern pentathlon on the LA28 sports programme, acknowledging the replacement of horse riding with obstacle racing and the optimisation work conducted by the International Modern Pentathlon Union (UIPM) to reduce costs and complexity. As noted by the IOC EB, it is essential for the UIPM to continue to implement the necessary changes in governance and modernise as an organisation. Without the replacement of horse riding with obstacle racing, the sport would not have been included in the programme.



Weightlifting: The IOC Session accepted the IOC EB’s recommendation to include weightlifting on the LA28 sports programme following the decision of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) to delegate its anti-doping management to the International Testing Agency (ITA), and its sanctioning to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) at least until the end of 2028. The effectiveness of the anti-doping programmes for the Paris 2024 Olympic qualification and Olympic competition will continue to be closely monitored by the IOC, as will the implementation of the governance and cultural changes adopted by the IWF.

While all these sports were added or made comeback there's still one sport boxing that has been put on hold. Many boxers and boxing fans are eagerly waiting for the answers.
