Several new Olympic events will take place at the 2020 Tokyo Games/ 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games awarded together
Several new events have been approved by the IOC to take place in Tokyo. Three on Three Basketball, BMX Freestyle Cycling and Track Cycling are new events. New swimming events include the 4 by 100 mixed medley relay, men's 800 freestyle and women's 1500 freestyle. Track and Field has added a mixed 4 by 400 relay. This is in addition to sports already approved by the IOC for the Tokyo games which include Sports Climbing, Skateboarding, Surfing, Karate and Baseball/Softball.
The IOC also cut certain events/places from the Rio games to make sure the athletes are capped at 10,616 through 28 core sports, Track and Field will lose 105 places, Weightlifting will lose 64 places, Wrestling will lose 56 places, Shooting and Sailing will lose 30 places each, followed by Swimming, which will lose 22 places. In total, 285 athlete places will be cut.
The IOC has now officially proposed to award the 2024 and 2028 summer games at once. Los Angeles and Paris will be awarded games, in which order is still to be determined. Paris is the favorite to land the 2024 games while Los Angeles, showing more flexibility could be awarded the 2028 games. A vote by the full IOC membership on this proposal will be held on July 11-12 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The hosting order will be determined at the IOC's annual meeting in Lima, Peru on Sept. 13.
