Organizers of the LA 2028 Games said this week they wanted cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash and baseball-softball added to the event
Five sports, including cricket and flag football, proposed for inclusion at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics were approved by the International Olympic Committee executive board on Friday, leaving them with one last hurdle to seal their Olympic spots.Each host city, under IOC rules approved a few years ago, can request the inclusion of several sports for their edition of the Games.
“The inclusion ... will allow the Olympic movement to engage with new athletes and fan communities in the United States and globally,” said Bach. “UIPM was challenged..., finding a replacement for riding as one of the sport’s five disciplines, and that is exactly what we have done,” said UIPM president Klaus Schormann.
