Each host city, under International Olympic Committee rules, can request the inclusion of several sports for its edition of the Games. There is no guarantee they will stick, however. Organizers of the 2028 Games want cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash and baseball-softball added to the event. The new L.A. sports were reviewed by the Olympic Program Commission before being put forward to the IOC executive board, which added its approval on Friday in Mumbai, India, leaving one last hurdle to seal their Olympic spots.Kim also noted that the U.S. is the "birthplace of breaking."
