L28

The LA28 Olympic Games recently marked three years to go by revealing the first version of the competition calendar, sparking excitement among participating sports, especially the five new additions to the programme.

Four of the five additional sports are set to steal the spotlight at the upcoming World Games in Chengdu, China: baseball/softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash.

The 12th edition of The World Games, a quadrennial, international multi-sport event which primarily showcases sports and disciplines that are not traditionally on the Olympic programme, will take place from 7-17 August with more than 4000 athletes competing in 34 sports comprising 60 disciplines and 255 medal events.

Chengdu 2025 will serve as an exciting prelude for the aforementioned four sports to showcase their global appeal and Olympic charm.
