We already knew that, didn't we ?

Sport climbing, skateboard and Surfing all had been picked up both Japan and France and later IOC added them as core sport. co-incidence ?  absolutely not.

 

IOC probably made some compromises with Japan by adding Karate and Baseball/Softball but I don't think Breaking was france's first choice. that was Tommy B's personal project.

Yes, but if we don't have petanque in the game I think we can't say what will be France's first choice. In the LA case we can say confidently that in the list there are much more preferred sports for organizers than cricket.

I thought LA 2028 prefers baseball-softball, flag-football and maybe lacrosse because they are more popular than cricket in the USA. But if they take cricket than lacrosse that means additional sport concept works more from what the IOC wants than the home country.

And more of that it will be ridiculous if the local organizers will pay for additional athletes quota with sport they don't want (if it is required, of course)
