The biggest sporting event i.e. Olympics will be played in Paris this time. More than 10 thousand players from all over the world will participate in it. Paris Olympics will start from 26th July. This time Olympics is completely different. Four new sports have been added in Paris Olympics 2024.
These 4 sports will be part of the Olympics for the first time
Four new sports have been included in the Paris Olympics. This time breakdancing will make its debut in the Olympics. Skateboarding, surfing and sports climbing have also been included in the Olympics this time. However, some sports may not be a part of the Olympics this time. Sports like karate, baseball and softball were part of the Tokyo Olympics, but this time they have been removed. Not a single Indian athlete has qualified in the four new sports included in the Paris Olympics.
Cricket is not a part of Olympics this time
Cricket is not a part of the Paris Olympics. This sport will be a part of the next Olympics. The next Olympics will be held in Los Angeles in 2028, four years later. Nicolo Campriani, the sports director of the Los Angeles Olympic Games to be held in 2028, made a big statement about Virat Kohli in a media interview last year. He said that the arrival of cricket on a global level is a beneficial deal not only for the Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles but also for the International Olympic Association and the entire cricket community. Kohli's popularity will help cricket get a new identity.
Cricket was once a part of the Olympics
It is worth noting that the Olympics started in 1896. Since then, cricket has become a part of this great sporting event only once. Cricket was included in the 1900 Olympic Games. Then a test match was played in the Olympics. A two-day test match was played between Great Britain and France. 24 players participated in this match instead of 22. No player from any country could make his debut in international cricket. However, this test match played in the Olympics did not get first-class status, because according to the rules, 11 players did not play in it.
