  • Data

    From 9 to 28

  • When the Olympics were first held in 1896 in Athens, there were only nine sports that were played. But, over the years many sports have been included and now there are 28 different sports that will be played at the Rio Olympics.

  • Process

    How are new sports added to Olympics?

    How are new sports added to Olympics?
  • The new sports are added simply by voting. The old rule says that you need a 2/3rd majority vote for the sport to be included as a part of the Olympics.

    However, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) has now adopted new simple and flexible rules.

    Now only a simple majority of votes from the full IOC committee is required for approval.

  • Do you know?

    Why are sports dropped from Olympics?

  • Exceptional circumstances like corruption, drop in popularity or drug scandals are main reasons for a sport being dropped from Olympics. During the London Olympics, softball and baseball were dropped.

  • Cricket at Olympics?

  • Th 1900 Olympics were the only games which featured cricket.

    The ICC has a different approach when it comes to adding T20 cricket at the Olympics.

    ICC members said that it is not easy to add Olympics to the cricket calendar as it may clash with the World T20.

    If cricket is added to the Olympics, it will be played only in 2024 Olympics.

  • Quote

    Will add cricket if Rome hosts Olympics : Italy

  • Italian cricket board president Simone Gambino says, "If Rome hosts the (2024) Olympics, cricket will be included." He added that their board is committed to adding cricket at Olympics. Rome, Paris, Budapest and Los Angeles are in a bid to host the 2024 Olympics.
