LOS ANGELES, CA (SNN-TV) – Five sports were finally added to the 2028 Los Angeles Games by the International Olympic Committee earlier today.
Cricket is an Olympic sport again, Flag football gets in for the first time, with baseball-softball, lacrosse and squash also confirmed for the 2028 games.
The slate of sports cleared a final hurdle from the Olympic body’s full membership at a meeting in Mumbai, India, after being proposed by Los Angeles officials one week ago and recommended by the IOC executive board on Friday.
The decision sees cricket elevated to Olympic status for the first time since 1900. Flag football and baseball-softball could put NFL and MLB players on the Olympic stage in five years’ time.
