Since 2016 there have been many changes to the events that make up the Olympic Games sporting program. Firstly, golf and rugby were added for Rio in 2016, and for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, five new sports were added to the program: baseball and softball, karate, sport climbing, skateboarding and surfing. See Olympic program changes.

There are many other sports that could be considered worthy of a place on the Olympic program. Between 2020 and 2023 we ran a poll on this site in which we listed sports the IOC has shown interest in adding to the program, and other sports which have been lobbying for inclusion.

Like the last time we ran a similar poll, most people selected 'other', indicating that people have their own favorite sports that they would like to see at the Olympics. Three of these sports, American football (in the form of flag football), T20 cricket, squash and lacrosse, have been successful and will be making an appearance at the 2028 LA Olympics.
