The breakdancers are obviously at the top of their game. But is it a sport? I would have maybe said performing arts. Already dumped for LA and I don’t think it will be back. Skateboarding has been made permanent (!) and boxing is temporarily out (for governance issues I think).
The added sports to 2028 are cricket, lacrosse, squash, flag football and softball/baseball.
Apparently the IOC woujd like some sports that appeal to the India, Pakistan, Bangladesh demographic so cricket and squash must have some chance of remaining for Brisbane.

Squash should definitely be in there. Easily as athletic and as good a watch as Badminton. Played widely worldwide.
Cricket - like football, golf and tennis - can fuck off.
Lacrosse too niche.
Can see the merits for baseball/softball.
Flag football. Please. The Alphabet people will be wanting hacky sack next.

Hasn't baseball and softball been in before? Both sports have a large following globally I think

Really? Greco Roman wrestling is gone too I think. Old school combat sports aren't cool anymore. What's next? MMA?
