The addition of six new sports to the Olympic program, allowing host cities to personalize their games.

A dance style characterized by intricate footwork, rapid movements, and impressive spins and flips. It originated in the 1970s in New York City.

A surfing competition held in Tahiti, judged on the variety, difficulty, and style of maneuvers on a wave. Points are also awarded for speed and flow.

A skateboarding competition that features 'park' and 'street' disciplines, with scores based on height, speed, agility, trick variety, and style.

Sport climbing involves three events: bouldering, speed climbing, and lead climbing. Each event has its unique challenges and scoring system.

In bouldering, athletes climb 14.7-foot-high walls without ropes, competing for the fastest time with the fewest attempts.

In speed climbing, athletes must climb a wall rapidly and precisely, with the fastest time winning.

In lead climbing, athletes use ropes to ascend a wall, with the highest point reached within a set time determining the winner.
