“We want to take sport to the youth," IOC President Thomas Bach said, according to the news release. "With the many options that young people have, we cannot expect any more that they will come automatically to us. We have to go to them."
The new sports will bring about 474 new athletes fighting for medals in 18 new competitions.
“The inclusion of the package of new sports will afford young athletes the chance of a lifetime to realize their dreams of competing in the Olympic Games," said Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori.
