Five sports, including cricket and flag football, will be included at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after receiving the approval of the International Olympic Committee.
Lacrosse, squash and baseball-softball also received the green light at an official IOC meeting in Mumbai on Monday. Each host city, under IOC rules, can request the inclusion of several sports for their edition of the Games.
