IOC President Thomas Bach discusses their acceptance of the recommendation to include T20 cricket at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Five sports were finally added to the 2028 Los Angeles Games by the International Olympic Committee on Monday with baseball-softball, lacrosse and squash also confirmed for the program.
The decision to elevate cricket to Olympic status for the first time since 1900 was made in one of the hotpots of the sport where the IOC is meeting while India hosts the sport's World Cup. Flag football and baseball-softball could put NFL and MLB players on the Olympic stage in five years' time. Lacrosse was hailed as the first game played on the American continent by its native people. The sport has been played twice at the Olympics, though not since 1908. In L.A., lacrosse will be played in a six-a-side format.There was no space for breakdance, which will not return after making its Olympic debut in Paris next year.
"That is our commitment," Wasserman said, citing talks with state and federal authorities."We are proud of our ability to make sure that our country is accessible to every athlete on earth." "There are no words than can fully capture the devastation and shock over the massacre in Israel on Oct. 7," Wasserman added."I unequivocally stand in solidarity with Israel, but let me be clear I also stand with the innocent civilians in Gaza who did not choose this war."
