The Olympics are coming to Los Angeles in 2028, and most of the new sports the organizers want to add have a distinctly American flavor.
Baseball, softball, flag football and lacrosse, sports with roots and a high level of popularity in the United States, have been proposed for the 2028 Games, alongside two sports with more international appeal, squash and cricket. The International Olympic Committee will vote on the proposals by the Los Angeles organizing committee later this month.
Some of these sports would be in the Olympic spotlight for the first time, while others would be making a triumphant return, in some cases after a very long wait.
