2028 Olympics: Sports that the USA Could Still Add

The 2024 Olympics are a wrap and the 2028 Olympics will be headed to Los Angeles, California. Now, the USA has sports that they could add. It’s already been released that the USA will add Flag Football, Baseball/Softball, Cricket, Lacrosse and Squash. Though, there’s five more sports that the USA should consider adding for 2028 Olympics.

Cornhole/Bag Toss

Nothing comes across as American like Cornhole. During the Summer of 2020, Cornhole had become more popular. It’s a classic tailgating game for many sports fans across the nation. It can also be seen at backyard cookouts, church festivals and state fairs. In 2016, the ACL was born. It could become the next popular Olympic sport. As of now, it’s not been rumored to be in the Olympics until 2032 but adding it now would give other countries four years to familiarize themselves with it.

Bowling

Bowling has become popular worldwide with both men and women. The International Bowling Federation already organizes tournaments at the World Games, which is like the Olympics for non-Olympic sports. The sport is popular among children and adults in America. If it were to be added the United States, Australia, and Denmark would be the current favorites to be medal contenders. As someone who has bowled competitively in the past… I would love to see Bowling added.

Disc Golf

The sport has already been added to the schedule of the World Games in 2025. It’s likely to push for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. However, according to a report a mixed gender variation of the sport has been proposed for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Many countries are already familiar with the game as it became popular in 2020.

Honorable Mention: Wakeboarding and WaterSkiing

The classic Nintendo Wii Sports event could be added in the near future. On a hot summer day, everyone enjoys going out on the water. So why not make it one of five sports added to the Summer Olympics sport in 2028.
