The Olympiad-2020 program, which will be held in the Japanese capital of Tokyo, were included at the session of the IOC Five sports: baseball / softball, karate, surfing, climbing and skateboarding.
Thanks to the inclusion of these species, 18 competitions will be added in the next Olympiad, in which 474 athletes will take part.
"The games in Tokyo can become one of the most unique in the history of the Olympiads at the expense of these five new sports," commented the decision of the IOC Mayor Tokyo Josiro Mori.
Interestingly, according to the regulations adopted even earlier, these five species will not be required for subsequent summer Olympiads. Each city - the owner of the games can present five sports for competitions on them on their Olympiad.
Baseball / Softball
Male baseball and its option for women - softball (or rather, the option "Fast Pitch" from the types of softball) in the Olympic program will not be newbies.
Baseball competitions were held at the Olympics already since 1896, while the softball was included in the Olympic program in 1996 at Atlanta games.
It is unlikely that it is surprised to be surprised, given that the national teams of the United States are unconditional favorites in these sports.
This is how the reverse side of the medal is this: In 2005, the regular session of the IOC excluded baseball and softball from the Olympic Sports due to insufficient popularity in the world.
At Beijing Games, these types of programs as regular members of the Olympic family were presented for the last time, after which they were not in London and will not be in Rio.
It is not to be surprised that the organizers of the Olympics in Tokyo preferred to recommend that this sport for the competition on it at the 2020 games - Japan is unconditionally second in the world ranking and hardly misses two sets of silver.
The Russian team in this form of the program is absolutely nothing shines. Actually, almost certainly our compatriots will not be presented in any men or women.
Karate.
Another traditional one japanese view Sports. Karate long ago, it has long been counting on the inclusion in the Olympic program on a permanent basis, but it could not achieve this.
The question of incorporating karate in the London Games Program in 2012 was considered seriously, but this question did not pass this issue on the Voting Commission.
The main reasons why Karate has not yet been presented at the Olympics, is extremely high injuries and - that, perhaps more importantly, the presence of too much different self-sufficient federations, not united under one auspices.
Nevertheless, the IOC in 2015 recognized this struggle official olympic species Sports, and now gave a sanction on introducing it to the Games-2020 program.
As for the Russian prospects, Karate may well bring our national team medal, because it is well developed in the country. In Russia, there are its world champions, so the OCD should be pleased with the inclusion of this species in the Tokyo competition program.
Surfing
The surfrs of the whole world dream that their sport becomes Olympic, has long been. As examples, they lead curling, jumping on a trampoline and even fencing and rowing - species that are less popular and mass, but in olympic family firmly entrusted.
Conversations about the possible inclusion of surfing in the Olympiad program on an ongoing basis are for a long time, and on games-2024 The appearance of this sport on an ongoing basis is quite real. Well, in Tokyo there will be a kind of "sample pen".
It will be difficult for Russian athletes here to count on the medals. However, until 2020 there is still time. Perhaps the stars of surf and in our country will still appear, since this species becomes more popular every year.
Rock climbing
Sports climbing has long been trying to become an Olympic sport. Back in 1995, the IOC officially recognized the UIAA International Federation, at that time he managed this sport.
In 2002, UIAA made a dossier for incorporating climbing into the Olympiad program in Turin - then this sport was perceived more than winter.
This did not happen, and in 2007 an international federation appeared sports climbing, united under its aegid 68 countries of the world.
The popularity of this sport is also growing, and in many countries the climbing is already included in the school curriculum.
Skateboarding
Somewhat different situation with skateboarding. Yes, this sport is gaining popularity in the world even rapidly than rock climbing and windsurfing, and Tokyo competitions promise to be exciting.
That's just the Russian national team so far in this form of the program, it is not particularly not what. If in four years the situation does not change (which happens hardly), then on this holiday of life, the Russian national team will be someone else.

General Copper Street Summer Olympic Games 2020
China and the United States apply for a victory in the general medal test. Russia and the United Kingdom can at least count on the first line.
Four years ago, the Americans became the best in Rio de Janeiro. Representatives of the United States won 121 medal, 46 of whom were the highest dignity.
The second line was used by the United Kingdom. Closed China's top three. Russia showed the 4th result. The lag of our country from China amounted to 7 gold awards.
Most likely, the excellent result will be shown Japanese athletes. They are able not only to enter the top 5, but also to compete for a place in the three strongest.
Russia at the Olympics 2020
The gaze of domestic fans, of course, will be addressed to Russians. Our athletes will have difficulty. Competition in global sports. The times when domestic athletes stamped one medal after another, irrevocably passed. In addition, a detrimental way will affect doping scandalwhich reaches for many years. Many of our athletes were disqualified. A huge imagine damage was inflicted russian sport. But Russia to the start of Summer Olympics will try to recover from the consequences of the goat sports officials!

Three of the five sports that can replenish the Olympic program in five years, do not promote anything good to Russian athletes.
Organizing Committee Summer Olympic Games Tokyo-2020 proposed to the International Olympic Committee to include several new sports: baseball and softball, karate, skateboarding, climbing and surfing. The final decision on this issue will be made in Rio de Janeiro at the IOC session in August 2016. "SE" tried to figure out what chances Russian athletes have in these sports.
ROCK CLIMBING. In case of entering the program of games in Tokyo, two sets of medals - male and female will be played. In which of the disciplines will be held competition - Bouldering, speed or difficulty, is not yet known. It is possible that the starts are organized in the format of all-around. From the entire five of the potential Olympic "recruits" climbing is the most promising view for Russia.
About the Olympic climbing is known for now very little. Photo Reuters
The last years eight our team is the strongest in the world, "says President Dmitry Bychkov, President of the Russian climbing federation. - In Bouldering, Dmitry Sharafutdinov became the world champion of the world. A whole brigade of strong athletes in our discipline "Speed" - for example, Stas Kokorin, Alina Gaidamakina, Julia Kaplin, Masha Krasavina. Our weakness - This is the discipline "difficulty". But here we have very strong athletes. So, Dinara Fahrutdinova became the champion of Europe. All athletes are not bad prepared as all-headeds. If the competition is held in the format of all-around, it is beneficial for us. The most important thing is growing up a good reserve, and at the Olympics 2020, most likely, another generation of Russian rock climbers will appear.
SURFING. President of the Surfing Federation of Russia and at the same time one of the strongest surfers of the country Sergey Exposure is not configured too optimistic. To the question of what chances are Russian athletes to take off at the Tokyo Olympics, cut off: almost no. In his opinion, athletes will be selected to the Olympic Games at the Annual International Competitions ISA World Surfing Games. Russia participates in this tournament for the third year, but none of our compatriots in the first twenty have ever entered in a female nor in men's individual standings. The highest achievement Russians - 17th place in the team competition. At the same time, not all the strongest surfers of the planet participate in ISA competitions. If this sport goes to the Olympic program, competition will exacerbate.
Surfing is very spectacular, but it needs special climatic conditions. Photo Reuters
Our federation exists only at its own expense. We have no sponsors and government officials, "says Sergey. - No and a clear structure of training athletes. All surfers who represent Russia make money in other areas. This year, only the youth team will go to California to California, adult athletes for financial reasons from the speech refused. This situation is not only with us - it is everywhere, except for Australia, the USA and another couple of countries where surfing - national View Sports. Our federation is recognized internationally, and within the country - no. But everything will change as soon as surfing recognize the Olympic species.
BASEBALL. This is the only one of the sports teams offered by the Organizing Committee, which was previously entered into the Olympic program. The last time the baseball was presented at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. But in 2020, the time may turn back, because interest in this sport in Japan is colossal. The country has a strong baseball team, developed infrastructure, ready-made stadiums. In total, 6 men's teams on baseball and 6 women's softball teams will be able to participate in the Olympiad.
To get to the Olympics we will be problematic, "says Senior coach of Russian national teams Nikolai Gervasov. - From Europe, one team falls on games directly, and two more teams participate in the further selection. That is, you need to be at least in the first trip. Russia last year at the European Championship became only eighth. Theoretically we can climb the sixth place. Approximately the same story and a softball team, but the women's team has a little higher chances. Now the state helps us, but this aid is missing. Fees are very rare, it is very difficult to prepare.
KARATE. It is assumed that 8 sets of medals will be played in Tokyo to karate - 4 male and 4 female. The first pair - in the discipline of kata kata, and three pairs - in three web categories In the karate discipline kuchite. The total number of participants who will be able to take part in the games in this sport is 80 people. The president of the Karate Federation of Russia Sergey Sokolovsky was told about the chances of Russian karates.
I think IOC will accept the proposal of the organizers regarding karate, because it is a national sport in Japan, "explains Sokolovsky. - Russia in this case will not only take the game, but will also claim medals. In Russia, there are world-class stars - this is, for example, Zhenya Plahutin, Ivanna Zaitseva. But the Olympiad in Tokyo will be held in 2020, by that time our youth, which is now in juniors and cadets. In the past junior Championship The world we have a champion - Cyril Salopov. Youth makeup takes an average of 6 - 8 medals at all major international starts. In Karate Kata, we also have one of the best schools in the world. In this discipline, our guys are European champions and the winners of the youth world championship.
Skateboarding. It has the most foggy prospects from the TKKIO-2020 species proposed by the Organizing Committee. The question of its inclusion in the program of the Olympic Games was first raised back in 2007. But to this day there is no recognized IOC of the International Skateboarding Federation. The International Skateboarding Federation and World Skateboard Federation compete with each other, and perhaps the IOC will just attach skateboarding to some of the existing federations, as the snowboard occurred at one time. The desire to take skateboarding under its wing has already expressed the international federation of roller sports.
There is no National Skateboarding Federation in Russia. Created in 2007, the organization managed to achieve the inclusion of skateboarding into the register of official sports, but in 2011 it was disbanded. The main reason is unclear Olympic skateboarding prospects. What chances are Russian skateboarders in the event that skateboarding will still enter the Olympic program, said the organizer of the Moscow stage of the International tournament world. Cup SkateBoarding Alexander Kisses:
We have two or three skateboarders who ride well and can compete in the discipline of Street. From girls is Katya Shengelia. Her last year was even invited to perform on X-Games in the female standings. From the guys - Egor Golubev, Maxim Kruglov, Dima twins. But the most serious skateboarders are Americans and Brazilians. Last year, Egor Golubev won WORLD CAP SkateBoarding, while he went around in the final ascending star of the world skateboarding Brazilian Kevin Hofler. But to speak honestly, there is America - this major LeagueAnd there are all the rest. The strongest skateboarders of the planet on the World Cup Skateboarding are not arrived - they have their own pool - Street League Skateboarding. This is a commercial project in which the prize fund is several times more.

New sports at the Olympic Games in Tokyo
In 2020, the International Olympic Committee will introduce several new disciplines to the program. You can get acquainted with everyone you can on our website.
First Olympic Champion 2020
First sets olympic gold In Tokyo will be played on July 25 among athletes engaged in:
- archery;
- cycling;
- fencing;
- judo;

The organizers of the Games in Japan put forward eight new candidates for the Olympic program for consideration in the IOC
The Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games of 2020, which will be held in Tokyo, announced a short list of new sports, which can replenish the Olympic program from 2020. It includes bowling, softball and baseball, karate, squash, climbing, surfing, roller skating and wushu. The final decision on these sports The International Olympic Committee will adopt in August 2016. In the meantime, "MK" will bring you closer with these disciplines.
In December 2014, a new IOC strategy was adopted, according to which the organizers of the Games were able to participate in the formation of the Olympic Program and contribute to it popular, for example, sports for themselves. True, the final word still remains for international olympic Committee.. The following sports were steel in Tokyo candidates: Bowling, softball and baseball, karate, squash, climbing, surfing, roller skating and wushu, although before this application was taken from 33 federations. In which of them, medals in Tokyo will be played, the IOC will decide in August 2016. Already, it is already possible to say with confidence that all disciplines will not be selected: the IOC will limit one or two, most likely. Indeed, in the same new strategy, it is indicated that the number of participants in the summer Olympiad should remain within 10,500 athletes, and the number of rewarded awards is within 310 kits. In Rio 2016, 306 disciplines will be presented. That is, you can add whole four sets, but if the program includes team sports, you may have to trim the number of participants in other types.
What kind of sports that can replenish the Olympic program on Tokyo games?
Bowling
The International Bowling Federation (FIQ) was founded in 1952 in Hamburg, and now it includes more than 140 national federations. It regulates two types of bowling: ninetyegile (more common in Europe) and tennegile (all over the world).
The first world championship took place in 1954, in the 70s, the International Bowling Federation received recognition of the IOC. Russian sports bowling federation is a full member of the International Federation since 1997.
For each of the two types of bowling, championships among men and women are held, both teams and individual.
Japan would be very glad to introduce bowling into the Olympic program. In the country of the rising sun, the bowling boom began in the 60s of the twentieth century. Then over a few years in Japan, more than 120 thousand tracks for riding balls appeared. Then, however, a decline occurred. But now the Japanese bowling market ranks second in the world after American.
The largest international bowling competition is Qubicaamf World Cup. Russian athletes They took part in more than 15 of them, as well as in the World Cups, Europe and Youth and Youth Championships. There are only more than 150 athletes. True, claim high places At the Olympics, if this sport will be included in the program, we are unlikely to be able to.
Baseball (Men) and Softball (Women)
Both types of sports have already had the Olympic residence, but after the 2008 Games were excluded from it.
In general, the reference competitions on baseball were held during the very first games of the new time. Debuted in 1904, and since then the competition was held during 12 Olympic tournaments. But only in 1992, official sets of awards were played for the first time. The last time the baseball tournament within the framework of the Olympics passed in Beijing. At the same time, the US national team during this time only once won the "gold" (in 2000 in Sydney). Three times the victory celebrated Cuba (1992, 1996, 2004) and South Korea once (2008). Japan, where baseball is also incredibly popular, twice won "bronze" (1992 and 2004) and once "silver" (1996).
At the moment, the baseball is played in more than 120 countries of the world. The Baseball Federation, Softball and Laptta Federation was created in the late 1980s of the last century in the USSR, and after the disintegration of the Union in 1992, the Federation of Baseball Federation was organized. Now the Russian national team is among the top ten teams of Europe, but this will clearly not be enough to qualify in 2020 on olympic medals.
Softball - more "soft" version of baseball. Men played in it, but only women's teams took part in the Olympics. The International Softball Federation was founded in 1965. And in the 80s, the softball on a par with baseball began to develop in Russia (then in the USSR). In 1992 he passed the first open Championship Russia, and from this time the teams act at international competitions, however, they failed to make their names in the history of the Olympic Softbol.
At the first Olympic tournament in 1996, the victory was celebrated by the US national team (2nd place - China, 3rd place - Australia). In 2000, it was distributed as follows: USA, Japan, Australia. 2004th: USA, Australia, Japan. On the latter (today) for softball games in Beijing, Japan still broke out "Gold", leaving the United States and Australia behind.
Karate.
The problem of this sport is that there are many of his styles and, accordingly, federations that united into the World Karate Federation in 1990, and it is it that it represents the interests of this sport in IOC.
World Championships are held since 1970. The most powerful in Karate are thence of this sport Japanese, as well as the French and the Egyptians.
Roller skating
The international federation of Roller-Sport was founded in April 1924. At first, it was to oversee hockey competitions on roller skating. But in 1947 the first World Championship was held figure skating on roller skates. In general, in roller sports many different specieslike the repetition of winter (biathlon, hockey, figure skating) and original: overcoming the distance to the speed on the track or highway, etc.
Hockey on roller skates has become an indicative sport at the 1992 games in Barcelona.
The largest competitions are world championships various types Roller sports. Russian roller-sports federation was established in 2004.
Squash
Squash - game View Sports with a ball and a racket in a closed room. Originated in England, but at the beginning of the twentieth century began spreading around the world.
Three organizations are engaged in international competitions in Squash - Association of Professional Men Players, Association of Professional Women Players and the World Squash Federation.
Squash is played in Eastern Europe, Australia, Arab Emirates, North America, Egypt, Southeast Asia.
Strongest players - England, Pakistan, Egypt.
Rock climbing
There are three disciplines for which international competitions: Lazain on difficulty, climbing at speed and bowlding (series of short complex tracks). Self great success The Russian men in Bouldering (became world champions from 2005 to 2012) and women in climbing at speed: world champion 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014.
Surfing
Promotion to the Olympic program of this sport is engaged in the International Surfing Association. She holds the world championships. But the greatest popularity in the world has a world surf tour in which professionals take part. It is held under the auspices of the Association of Surf Professionals (since 2015, the world surfing league). There are also seeking to get all the surfers.
The first championship of Russia in surfing was held in 2009 and included three stages of competitions: Dominican Republic, Bali and Portugal.
The strongest athletes: Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and etc.
Everything martial arts China is combined in the name "Wushu". The international federation of Wushu appeared only in 1990 and immediately organized competitions on the summer Asian games. From next year, the World Championships began to be held. The international federation of Wushu includes more than 140 national federations. Russians are present there from the very beginning - since 1991.
Most medals at the World Championships have since earned athletes from the following countries (in descending order): PRC, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Iran, Russia.
