    Additional Sports at Brisbane 2032
     
    The final sports program for Brisbane 2032 can be reasonably expected in the first half of 2028, as occurred in 2024 when confirmation of the Los Angeles Olympics final sports program was announced.
     
    Boxing
    While Boxing was “scheduled” from the next two summer Olympics, this sport is currently suspended from both LA2028 and Brisbane 2032 until a new governing body (World Boxing) can formally take over the management of the sport and run the competitions at the Games. At Paris 2024, the IOC itself ran the boxing competition as a one-off only. the previous boxing governing body (IBA) has been kicked out of the IOC family after an extended period of governance breaches. for LA2028, boxing may yet be added as a late includion. for Brisbane, I’m confident with the expected full approval by the IOC of World Boxing to govern the sport, Boxing will be re-instated at the Olympics and in 2032 is planned to take place at Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre.  
    T20 Cricket
    Cricket is a hot favourite to continue at Brisbane 2032 following it’s debut at LA2028.
     
    77 countries play T20 Cricket world wide according to the latest ICC World Rankings.
     
     
    Flag Football
    This sport is actually becoming very popular in Australia and also world wide.  There are 20 million players around the globe currently playing Flag Football.
     
    So, I think it has a better than even chance of being continued at Brisbane 2032.
     
    Flag Football played in 100 countries, 20 million players world wide  
    Australia embracing the rise of Flag Football  
    Lacrosse
    This is another booming sport internationally.  
    Australia is ranked 4th in the world in both women’s and men’s Lacrosse. It’s another sport which has a good chance to continue at Brisbane 2032.
     
    Lacrosse was played in the Olympics in 1904 and 1908. It was a also a demonstration sport in 1928, 1932 and 1948. 
     
    AFL Nines / Rugby League Nines
    Both AFL and Rugby League I believe will really struggle to win a spot at Brisbane 2032.
     
    The days of “demonstration sports” is long gone from the Olympics and I can’t honestly see either making it on to the final Brisbane 2032 program.
     
    Netball Fast5
    With both women’s and men’s teams, I think that Netball Fast5 (women’s and men’s) has got a fair chance for inclusion in 2032.
     
    Fast5 women’s world series competitions have been played since 2009 with men’s teams included since 2022.
     
    Australian Men’s Team wins Netball Fast5 World Series and does viral dance  
    Incidentally, 50 countries currently play the regular Netball format with Australia ranked No. 1 in the world.
     
    Baseball / Softball
    Both have been in and out of the Olympics over the years so much its hard to keep up.  They were recently dropped for Paris 2024 but included at LA2028.
     
    It’s 50/50 if they will continue to Brisbane 2032.
     
    Surfing and Sport Climbing
    Surfing and Sport Climbing will soon be formally added to Brisbane 2032 sports program with both having earned permanent sport status from LA2028 onwards.
     
    3x3 Basketball
    3x3 Basketball is already part of Brisbane’s sports program in 2032 and will be played at the Southbank Piazza.
     
    Karate
    Following it’s debut at Tokyo 2020, Karate was dropped for the Paris 2024 and LA2028 and not looking good for Brisbane.
     
    Breaking
    As we know, Breaking was dropped for LA2028 and I can’t see it being included at Brisbane 2032.
     
    Permanent Status at Olympics
     
    Once a sport is played at three consecutive Olympic Games, it becomes a permanent sport at the Olympic Games.
     
    So from LA2028 onwards, the following sports will officially be permanent in the Olympic Games:
     
    3x3 Basketball BMX Freestyle Skateboarding Sport Climbing Surfing

    Crowded Field of Interested Parties for 2036
     
    Following Brisbane’s election for 2032, this is a long list of interested parties for 2036.
     
    To be clear, I’m not talking about actual formal dialogue with the IOC, nor am I talking about the actual chances of each of getting the Games…. purely reports of interest showed.

    As we know, early interest is just that … and often nothing more.

    Forgive the length of the list.

    Not a single country has announced a full boycott of Beijing 2022.    Not a single one.
     
     Not Italy, not your own country Great Britain, not USA, not Australia, not any countryin the entire world.
     
    There are views that each government and prvate citizens around the world may or may not privately have on China and Beijing 2022.
     
    But so far, not a single participating country at Beijing 2022 has announced a full boycott at this point in time.   Not a single one.

    Yes and you are still totally incorrect.
     
    The invitations to government reps and the US President are issued by the IOC and have been issued a long long time ago and have nothing to do with anything else.
     
    You are incorrect because you do not seem to realise that China or the Beijing organisers  do no send invitations to the US President to attend Beijing 2022.
     
    This is and always has been the job of the International Olympic Committee who are politically neutral - another point you seem to have missed.

    The IOC have already invited the US President to Beijing 2022 as they have done for every other Olympics.
     
    The IOC “own” the the Olympics with Beijing as the organisers.
     
    The President Biden has announced that no-one from the USA will be taking up the IOC’s invitation at Beijing 2022.
