The Baseball, Softball, LA Olympics official events are just around the corner

Baseball, which was excluded from the official event of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, will return to the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved five new events, including baseball, softball, cricket, squash, lacrosse, and flag football, proposed by the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee as official events at an executive committee meeting in Mumbai, India, on the 13th.

The official event for the 2028 LA Olympics will be decided at the IOC General Assembly in Mumbai from the 15th to the 17th. However, as the IOC's actual decision is made by the executive committee, the highest decision-making body, the general meeting is expected to go through a formal procedure to approve it.

IOC President Thomas Bach said, "The selection of the five new official sports events is related to the U.S. sports culture," adding, "We will show the world the symbolic sports of the U.S.

Baseball and softball were held as official events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Afterwards, she was excluded from the Paris Olympics and returned to the official event after seven years. Cricket, which has more than 2.5 billion fans, will make its first comeback to the Olympics in 128 years since the 1900 Paris Olympics.

Lacrosse is the third Olympic Games since the 1904 St. Louis Games and the 1908 London Games. This is the first Olympic debut for flag football and squash.

In February last year, the IOC designated 28 basic sports, including track and field and swimming, and added five new sports this time.

In addition, the IOC Executive Committee proposed the adoption of modern pentathlon and weightlifting among the 28 basic sports excluded from the LA Olympics. The International Modern pentathlon federation announced its plan to replace horseback riding with an obstacle race. The International Weightlifting Federation said it would delegate anti-doping management, which has always been a problem, to the International Testing Organization (ITA).

On the other hand, boxing, which does not meet the standards in many ways, including financial transparency, is likely to be excluded from official events. Recently, the IOC deprived the International Boxing Association (IBA) of its status as an international federation by sport. Currently, there is no organization to represent world boxing at the Olympics. 스포츠토토
