The International Olympic Committee has officially announced the addition of five new sports to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, marking the largest expansion of Olympic sports in decades.
Breakdancing, surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing, and karate will all make their Olympic debuts in Los Angeles, bringing fresh energy and younger audiences to the world’s premier sporting event.
The decision comes after extensive evaluation of each sport’s global appeal, youth engagement, and organizational readiness. IOC President Thomas Bach praised the additions as “a perfect blend of traditional and modern sports that will attract new generations of fans.”
Los Angeles organizers have already begun planning venues for the new sports, with surfing events planned for the famous Malibu beaches and breakdancing competitions set for a custom-built arena in downtown LA.
