Skateboarding, surfing, sports climbing and karate all gave birth to the first Olympic champion in history, while baseball and softball have returned to the Olympic family for the first time since 2008. Five years ago, the National Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to make these sports the official events of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in order to attract young people to pay more attention to the Olympics.

In addition, Paris has also chosen surfing, rock climbing and skateboarding to continue as the official events of the Olympic Games.

According to Reuters, many athletes criticized the deletion of the 50-kilometer race from the Olympic race as a so-called “horrible mistake” and accused the “lawsuit” behind the move. Can fully communicate with athletes. Since 1936, the 50-kilometer race has been the event of the Olympic Games, but since there is no women’s 50-kilometer event, the “sexist” 50-kilometer will be cancelled.

I think we showed today that this event belongs to the Olympic Games.” Canadian player Evan Dunfee told reporters after winning the bronze medal in Sapporo, “The simplest solution It is to allow women to participate in the 50-kilometer race at the Olympics, which is heartbreaking.”
Evan Dunfee’s speech won enthusiastic applause.
