IOC President Kirsty Coventry Says Sports Cut From 2032 Brisbane Games Could Return in Future
Coventry said sports cut from Brisbane could return later as the IOC seeks a smaller program and fewer venues to control host costs.
- On Wednesday, IOC President Kirsty Coventry told sports leaders in Lausanne that sports cut from the 2032 Brisbane Olympics will have "a path, it's not just an end," signaling eliminated events are not permanently gone.
- Coventry's reassurance followed her February warning of "uncomfortable" talks needed to make future Olympic hosting more efficient, reflecting the IOC's broader push to reduce venues and complexity to manage costs for host cities.
- Brisbane's program will drop below the 36 sports at Los Angeles 2028, with modern pentathlon facing vulnerability to elimination while flag football, lacrosse and squash must compete for Brisbane inclusion after their LA debut.
- The IOC will convene its full membership June 24 in Lausanne to establish evaluation criteria, with the Brisbane sports list expected by September and detailed medal events confirmed on a longer timeline.
- By assuring ASOIF members Tuesday that there are "no specific numbers" as targets for Brisbane, Coventry signaled flexibility in the streamlining process designed to make Olympic hosting more sustainable for future cities.
