Climbing and Surfing In Consideration For 2020 Summer Olympics

By Matt Bonham · On July 3, 2015


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.
