This year\’s Olympic Games will be held in Paris for the third time. The first Games were held in 1900 and the second in 1924, with 10,500 athletes from 204 national teams. Competitions will be held in 28 events. Breakdancing was added to the program as a new competition. Compared to previous competitions, several events were eliminated. Karate is no longer included in the program, as well as softball and baseball. This decision will not last forever. Most of the sports are already scheduled to return for the 2028 Olympics. Not only that. At the next Games, an entirely new sport will debut that has never been competed in before. [It has already appeared in the program for the 1908 London Olympics, and four years later, the six-man event will return to the program for the 2028 Olympics. Four years later, it will rejoin the other Olympic events for the first time in 120 years as a six-man event. This is a welcome development for the athletes of our national team. We achieved success at the last World Championships. In 2028, the Olympic colors of croquet will also return. It too will return, after 128 years. The sport has more than 2 billion fans worldwide. There are those who enthusiastically welcome this decision.
Last played in Tokyo, softball will return to the Olympics after a seven-year absence. And the Czech Republic will undoubtedly send a women\’s team.

And it is in a popular country. After a hiatus during the Paris Games, baseball will also return to the tournament program four years later. That\’s good news for players with bats and gloves. Not long ago, they scored in the World Baseball Classic. Squash is an individual sport that will make its debut at the 2028 Olympics. It has received strong promotion and support from Roger Federer himself. And Czech athletes have a chance to win a medal as well.
