On the eve of an Olympics riven with fear over the future of the Games, organisers have added a further five sports to the programme for Tokyo 2020 in the hope of increasing its appeal to younger audiences.
Following decades where the status quo was roughly maintained until the reintroduction of golf and rugby sevens for Rio, a further five sports will be added to the programme for the next Olympics.
The international federations behind surfing, karate, baseball/softball, sport climbing and skateboarding were celebrating after the International Olympic Committee approved the addition of all five to the programme for the Tokyo Games.
