Six new sports revealed for next Olympics as one gets scrapped
The Olympics in Paris may have only just come to an end – but thoughts are already turning to the next showpiece in the United States in 2028.
There were new sports and events introduced in France this year, including a first ever appearance for breaking.
Kayak cross made its Olympic debut as canoe slalom athletes raced directly against one another, rather than just the clock.
Out on the track and field, the repechage round was also used for the first time for every short to middle distance racing event except the 100m sprint.
