Under new rules first introduced by the IOC at the Tokyo Olympics, the host city of the Olympics gets to pick and choose the sports. If those programs are popular in that country and add to the appeal of the Games, they can be recommended for inclusion in those Games. In addition, the IOC is eager to add sports to the Olympics that will remain attractive to sponsors, broadcasters and young people. Surfing, rock climbing and skateboarding will join the Olympic family at next year's Tokyo Games, and along with them in the Olympic Games competition program' there is also karate proposed by the Japanese Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games. Embracing young people and focusing on their preferences is also one of the current directions of the IOC's work, as evidenced by the addition of four major sports. The Paris Organizing Committee proposed last year to include breakdancing, rock climbing, skateboarding and surfing in the Olympics and has been awaiting final review by the IOC Executive Board. To this end, the Paris Olympics will further promote the concept of urban sports, to which skateboarding, rock climbing and breakdancing all belong. The Paris Organizing Committee has also confirmed that the venue for these three sports will be the Place de la Concorde in the heart of Paris, while the surfing competition will be held on the small Pacific island of Tahiti, 15,000 kilometers away from the French mainland.
