The Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee recently announced that sport climbing and surfing are still under consideration for becoming Olympic sports in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Both sports make up a total list of eight IOC-recognized international federation (IF) sports that are still being considered, including baseball and softball, bowling, karate, roller sports, squash, and wushu.
A second phase of each shortlisted IF submitting additional details concludes this month with interviews in August. The IOC will make a decision on the proposed events in September 2015, with the final decision being made at the IOC Session in Rio de Jaineiro, Brazil in 2016.
