The LA 28 Preview show on NBC have confirmed the following six sports will be returning/debuting at the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games:
- Flag Football
- Cricket
- Lacrosse
- Squash
- Baseball
- Softball
This should mean that six current sports from Paris 2024 will be replaced. Here is what we know so far.
- Breakdancing (IOC Confirmed)
- Boxing (IOC vote to take place in 2026 to make it official)
We still need 4 other sports to go. Personally I think Boxing deserves to stay. It has a long history and its unfortunate with our current sports gender climate, it may be gone for a long time tipping in the favor being voted out. I think 3. 3x3 Basketball should go. Not many countries play it and its very niche “sport”. 4. Equestrian. Let the horses rest. 5. Golf. Not many countries play this sport and its not fun to watch at all. 6. Surfing. Not many countries in the world have water to play this sport.
Which sports do you think won’t make the cut in our epic sports marathon?
That’s not how it works at all. There’s not a limit on how many sports are in the program. They’re not removing anything to “make space” for the new events.
