Sports and medal events cut from the 2032 Brisbane Olympics program will have a path to return at future Summer Games, IOC president Kirsty Coventry has told sports leaders.
Coventry's reassurance to the annual meeting of Summer Games sports bodies came after she warned in February of "uncomfortable" talks ahead to make future Olympic hosting more efficient.
The International Olympic Committee aims to finalise within months the list of sports on the Brisbane program that Coventry previously said would be fewer than the 36 at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
"There is a path (back), it's not just an end," the IOC president told The Associated Press on Wednesday on the sidelines of the assembly of the summer sports group known as ASOIF.
