From 1992 the baseball players officially took part in the Olympic Games, from 1996 to 2008 the softball players too. This is the female equivalent of the sport. As a demonstration sport, baseball was part of the game in Stockholm as early as 1912.
Baseball is particularly popular in the USA, but also in Cuba, Puerto Rico and South Korea – as is the case with the Olympic host Japan. Now, after a break of twelve years, medals are being played again. ISPO.com presents the new Olympic disciplines in a row.
