But the big news is the inclusion of new disciplines in 2024 such as skateboarding, sport climbing surfing and above all breakdancing which will make its debut in the Olympic program. One of the objectives of the IOC is to attract younger audiences through these disciplines and new communication tools.
Beyond the disciplines the IOC confirmed that in Paris the number of athletes and, therefore, officials and team personnel will be reduced which will also reduce the complexity of the Games. The total reduction of athletes and officials will be approximately 1,000 compared to Tokyo Bach said.
