The International Olympic Committee has approved a proposal to include surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing among the core sports for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
The decision came during an IOC session on Thursday, a day before the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics.
"The LA28 Games have always been about bringing more freshness, youthful energy and creativity into the Olympic and Paralympic movement," Casey Wasserman, chairman of the L.A. organizing committee, said in a statement.
