Last year, Tokyo organizers suggested these five sports and the IOC will have a vote in a meeting in Brazil’s capital city, Rio, in August to decide the final list of sport.

A meeting of sports leaders will also be held by IOC in 21st June to finalize the athletes’ eligibility for Rio Olympics.
4 days after this summit meeting, there will have another meeting in Lausanne in order to help IAAF decide what they do with the Russian team when they are in Rio. After the World Anti-Doping Agency reports about the state-sponsored doping, cheating and coverups in Russia, this team has suffered from a sanction from November.

Some people in the committee do not agree to prohibit all Russian team in this event, since that there are some offended athletes while the others are completely honest. On the other hand, the opposite side claims that the violation of Russian team is silently agreed by the authority, and this is the reason why all the team should be banned.

The protest against Russian team begins when people receive the information that the former drug-testing director of Moscow was accused to support Russian athletes to use doping and switch the testing sample at 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi.

According to Adams, the meeting held on 21st June will decide whether honest Russian athletes could join and compete at Rio Games or not, and the result depends on various reasons.

He said we should wait until the IAAF gets the final decision, then think about what to do later.
As IOC stated, their anti-doping in Rio this time will pay attention to the countries with the anti-doping system does not meet global standard, such as Russian, Mexico and Kenya.

The additional information that we should know is that the IOC will keep their eyes on the list of sports that WADA stated as “most affected” by doping cheating.

A disciplinary commission is established by IOC so that they can quickly make decision about doping case. When they receive Olympic doping sample, they wil carry out testing and double check to ensure the right final result. For instance, about 55 positive results of Russian athletes are found, in which, there are 32 from Beijing and 23 from London. Russian officials cannot deny it and have officially confirm that 22 samples are doping.

Back to Tokyo Olympics in 2020. With such supposed sports by the local organizers, it is estimated that about 18 events and 474 athletes will be added to the program. In case the IOC passes, 33 sports and about 11,000 athletes all around the world will come and compete at the Tokyo Games.

From the point of view of John Coates, vice president of IOC, the five sports that Tokyo suggests include such famous and attractive sports in Japan, especially among the young people. That is the reason why you have better find the best cruiser skateboards at skateadvisors now.
From 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, baseball has been removed from the list of sports competing at Olympics. The return at Tokyo may be the chance for this sport to gain recognition from the committee.

Baseball, however, is a little bit different with what the officials imagine. There are only six teams, instead of eight teams as normal.

Skateboarding, how surprise it is, becomes the main issue since it is lack of managing organization. Luckily, it is sooner in the official list of 2020 Tokyo Olympics because of on-time efforts from the organizers.
