國(guó)際奧委會(huì)取消了對(duì)夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)最多不得超過(guò)28個(gè)比賽項(xiàng)目的上限。此決定是國(guó)際奧委會(huì)在摩納哥舉行的兩天會(huì)議上表決通過(guò)的改革奧運(yùn)40點(diǎn)計(jì)劃的一部分。以下是BBC記者 Richard Conway 的報(bào)道：
Could this be the moment that squash and baseball have been waiting for? In agreeing to lift the cap on the overall number of sports, the IOC has opened the door to the inclusion of new Olympic disciplines.
However, they insist the present number of athletes at a Games must not increase, and the number of events must stay at around 310.
That will likely herald a turf war between individual sports in the coming years as they all fight to maintain and preserve their Olympic status.
Measures to reduce the costs of bidding and staging the games have also been approved, allowing certain sports to be held in a different country if deemed more cost effective.
