This might come across as sexist but it seems that there are parallels between park skateboarding and park bmx. Big chasm with what the women can do compared to the men.
Squash is in for 2028, isn't it?
Yes. The new sports are squash, cricket (T20), lacrosse, flag football, and baseball/softball are back.
Flag football is a joke, but if 3x3 basketball can get in, then anything can. I'm waiting for ultimate frisbee to be the next sport in.
Lacrosse is an underrated sport. Was actually in the 1904 and 1908 Olympics. But of course they aren't playing the main version, but a dummed down "sixes" version (less players, less contact, half sized field, half the duration, etc).

Have they dropped anything or just added more sports?
Definitely need a rock/paper/scissors tournament.Nothing wrong with those sports you mentioned. And with frisbee/flying disc. If it needs to be modified for Olympics, fine. It's the foot in the door. I'd also like to see full sized rugby, for example. And ODI or Test cricket.
I'd venture more participate in those sports than say dressage, hammer throw or 470s sailing (no offence intended to those who are into those sports). Baseball and softball should never have been dropped.
I might be imagining things here, but I always thought that once a sports body was in, they had the freedom to add as many events as they liked. Which explains beach volleyball but is also how trampolining gets in, as that's part of gymnastics. 3x3 basketball is governed by FIBA, so it was a fairly easy addition to the roster is my line of thought. Again, I might be completely wrong.Yes. The new sports are squash, cricket (T20), lacrosse, flag football, and baseball/softball are back.

What the hell is flag football?Yes. The new sports are squash, cricket (T20), lacrosse, flag football, and baseball/softball are back.

I think it's like a version of gridiron that instead of tackling they rip a flag off the player.What the hell is flag football?
I look forward to a 60,000 yanks chanting “USA, USA, USA” when they beat Equatoreal Guinea 112-0.I think it's like a version of gridiron that instead of tackling they rip a flag off the player.
Sounds fantastically lame.
The Olympics has a long history of truly lame events. For instance, poodle clipping in 1900 and, my personal favourite, poetry!I might be imagining things here, but I always thought that once a sports body was in, they had the freedom to add as many events as they liked.

I'm not a fan of the amended rules sports, either. Still annoys me that men's soccer is predominantly under 23s, and yeah, 3x3 basketball, rugby sevens, etc I live do without. But then I love that cricket is in, so, go figure...

Equestrian was usually one event Australia always got medals in!!!
What they are removing boxing and weightlifting?
Boxing has been making headlines at this Olympic Games for all the wrong reasons and unless there is a new body to administer the sport, it will not make it to LA.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has organised the boxing at Tokyo and In Paris, after a falling out with the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA)
The IOC does not want to be the organiser of boxing in 2028, meaning the sport will need a new body to administer the event.
Not as weird as this afternoon's special, The Mixed Marathon Walk Relay. What an event that promises to be.Yeah but personally I can't stand it, though flag footy is weird
For real? Can we have AFL Nines 2032?I think it's like a version of gridiron that instead of tackling they rip a flag off the player.

Because you don’t like equestrian doesn’t mean it should be removedBoxing, pentathon, and I think weightlifting from absolute memory, first two meh, wish they removed equestrian lol
