IOC approves proposal to include cricket and four other new games at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

Cricket was on Monday officially included in the 2028 Los Angles Olympics, marking the sport's return to the Summer Games after 123 years.

Cricket was on Monday officially included in the 2028 Los Angles Olympics, marking the sport's return to the Summer Games after 123 years.
Besides cricket, which will be played in a T20 format, the other sports approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) during its 141st session, were squash, baseball/softball, lacrosse and flag football.
"The proposal from the Organising Committee of the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 to include five new sports in the programme has been accepted by the IOC Session.
"Baseball/softball, cricket (T20), flag football, lacrosse (sixes) and squash will be in the programme at LA28," posted the IOC on X, formerly Twitter.
The proposal to include the five sports recommended by LA28 Organising Committee was opposed by only two of the 99 IOC members, who participated in voting.
IOC president Thomas Bach made the announcement of cricket's inclusion along with other sport after the recommendation of the Executive Board was put to vote through raise of hands.
"I welcome all of you to the Olympic program," said Bach.
Cricket has been played in the Olympics only once before, in Paris in 1900, when England defeated France.

While IOC's Executive Board has given its approval to cricket's inclusion,it will still need to be voted in by the IOC membership in a ballot due to be held on Monday.

IOC Executive Board accepts proposal for cricket's inclusion at Los Angeles 2028 Olympics

<h2>While IOC's Executive Board has given its approval to cricket's inclusion,it will still need to be voted in by the IOC membership in a ballot due to be held on Monday.</h2>

Cricket has been approved by the International Olympic Committee's executive for inclusion in the programme for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, it was announced Friday.
IOC president Thomas Bach, speaking after the second day of an executive board meeting in Mumbai, said officials had accepted a proposal by LA organisers for T20 cricket -- the game's shortest established international format -- to be included as one of five new sports together with baseball/softball, flag football (non-contact American football), squash and lacrosse.
But all the new sports will still need to be voted in by the IOC membership in a ballot due to be held on Monday before they are assured of a place at the 2028 Games.

The protesting wrestlers have also been promised that they will compete against the winners of the trials between August 5 and 15.

IOC Ad-hoc panel makes it one-bout trial for six protesting wrestlers

IOA ad-hoc panel has decided that the six protesting wrestlers will have to go through just one bout to seal their places in the Indian teams for the Asian Games and Worlds. 

The protesting wrestlers have also been promised that they will compete against the winners of the trials between August 5 and 15.

The IOA ad-hoc panel has reduced the upcoming Asian Games and World Championship selection to a one-bout competition for six protesting wrestlers, who will be required to beat just the winners of the trials to seal their places in the Indian teams for the two prestigious events.
The six wrestlers -- Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, Sangeeta Phogat, Satywart Kadian and Jitender Kinha -- have not just got the exemption from appearing in the initial trials, they have also been promised that they will compete against the winners of the trials between August 5 and 15.
Interestingly, the wrestlers had requested the Sports Ministry to allow them to appear in the Asian Games trials in August because they are under-prepared for the competition due to their long-drawn protest against outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is facing sexual harassment charges.
Elite wrestlers like Bajrang and Vinesh have been given exemptions by WFI from full trials in the past to protect them from injuries but never ever Sangeeta Phogat, Satyawart Kadian and Jitender Kinha were considered for such a favour.
The ad-hoc panel is required to hold the Asian Games trials before July 15 -- the deadline to send the details of all Indian squads to the organisers.
By conducting the initial trials, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) will be able to send wrestlers' names to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) within the July 15 deadline but it can later replace the entries if protesting wrestlers end up beating the winners of the initial trials.
Ad-hoc panel head Bhupender Singh Bajwa communicated the decision to the wrestlers on June 16. A copy of the letter is in possession of PTI.
"The trial of these wrestlers will be conducted with the winners of the respective weight categories for Asian Games/World Championships Olympic qualification trials conducted for participation, if done previously," the letter read.
The IOA had approached the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) on June 16, seeking an extension of the July 15 deadline for submitting 'entries by names' for the Indian wrestling team.
IOA itself had asked all National Sports Federations (NSFs) to provide the details of their respective squads by June 30 so that it can honour the OCA deadline without any fuss.
OCA is yet to respond to the IOA request if the details of the Indian wrestling squad could be submitted on August 15.
When Bajwa was contacted for a comment on the exemption given to the six wrestlers, he did not give a clear answer.
"It will all depend on OCA's reply. Maybe the OCA will allow us to hold all trials in August, then it's not a problem," said Bajwa.
"The Asian Games and World Championship dates are clashing, there is a small gap of just 5-7 days between the two events. A few wrestlers are preparing for the Asian Games and others for World Championship.
"A few want to win Asian Games medals and others want to qualify for 2024 Olympics through World Championship. August 16 is the date to send names for the World Championships. I feel these kids (protesting wrestlers) are more keen to compete in the Worlds," he added.
In the previous WFI set-up also, top wrestlers like Bajrang, Ravi Dahiya and Vinesh used to get similar exemptions from trials. In the recent past, Bajrang and Ravi were handed direct semifinal entries into the Commonwealth Games trials.
"It was being portrayed that the protest was to bring about a change in Indian wrestling. But I fail to understand, how. The same things are being repeated. A few wrestlers are getting favours. Earlier, it was WFI which was favouring these wrestlers by giving them exemptions and now this ad-hoc body," said the father of a wrestler.
"Anyway, what can we do about it? We are ready for a fight. But it is not fair that these wrestlers compete in just one bout and our children have to go through a full draw. Ye log to bas malaai khaana chahte hain (These top wrestlers just want cream of everything)," he added.
Meanwhile, an official who was associated with the previous WFI set up, said, this move further proves their point that the top wrestlers all the time want to skip trials.
"They always had a problem with WFI's fair policies. They never wanted to come to Indian team through trials. We honoured their unjustified demands because they are top wrestlers but they are still making the same demands. It proves our point, they want to control over WFI matters," said the official, who did not wish to be named.

In a significant decision, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially approved an executive board recommendation to strip the International Boxing Association's (IBA) status as the governing body for the sport.

IOC banishes boxing governing body from Olympics, but the sport will still be at the Paris Games

The International Olympic Committee voted to de-recognize the IBA at a specially called meeting

Here's why

<h2>In a significant decision, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially approved an executive board recommendation to strip the International Boxing Association's (IBA) status as the governing body for the sport.</h2>

The International Boxing Association was banished from the Olympic family on Thursday, ending a years-long dispute fuelled by defying advice and instructions from the IOC. Boxing, however, will keep its status as an Olympic sport at the 2024 Paris Games.
The International Olympic Committee voted to de-recognize the IBA at a specially called meeting &mdash; an outcome that was inevitable after being recommended two weeks ago by the executive board, a body chaired by IOC president Thomas Bach.
"We highly value the sport of boxing. We have an extremely serious problem with IBA because of their governance," Bach told IOC members during their online meeting.
"The boxers fully deserve to be governed by an international federation with integrity and transparency," he added.
The vote was 69-1, with 10 members abstaining.
Boxing was never really in danger of being kicked out of the Olympics over the four years since the IOC suspended the sport's governing body in an effort to force changes.

IOC President, Thomas Bach, reaffirmed the ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics after an IOC board meeting on Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The organisation said they will "monitor" the situation leading up to the Games in France next year, but for the time being, they cannot call a time on if they will change their decision.
The IOC recommended excluding Russian and Belarusian athletes on security grounds last year following Russia's invasion of Ukraine but has recently sought to create a pathway for them to return to competition.
