🚩🏈🏏⚾️🥎 squash 🥍- Olympics 5 sports added for LA Games in 2028 [View all]
Cricket is an Olympic sport again. Flag football gets in for the first time.
Five sports were finally added to the 2028 Los Angeles Games by the International Olympic Committee on Monday with baseball-softball, lacrosse and squash also confirmed for the program.
The decision to elevate cricket to Olympic status for the first time since 1900 was made in one of the hotpots of the sport where the IOC is meeting while India hosts the sport's World Cup.
Adding cricket to the Olympic program is expected to raise the value of India's broadcasting rights for the IOC by more than $100 million. The Olympic tournaments for men and women should each have six teams playing the shortened and dynamic Twenty20 format.
