    Skateboarding made its debut appearance at the 2020 Summer Olympics in 2021 in Tokyo, Japan.[1] It has also been provisionally approved by the IOC for inclusion at the 2024 Olympic GamesinParis.[2]

    World Skate currently sanctions Olympic skateboarding.[citation needed]

    Bid for inclusion[edit]

    In September 2015, skateboarding was included in a shortlist along with baseball, softball, karate, surfing, and sport climbing to be considered for inclusion in the 2020 Summer Olympics;[3] and in June 2016, the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that they would support the proposal to include all of the shortlisted sports in the 2020 Games.[4] Finally, on August 3, 2016, all five sports (counting baseball and softball together as one sport) were approved for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic program.[1] One of the biggest obstacles for skateboarding for an inclusion at the Olympics was that huge injuries in skateboarding were so risky (which can include death) and the IOC was less likely to take liabilities. Also the skateboarding sub-culture helped push the idea that the Olympic Games were too "mainstream" for the sport, and as a result skateboarding organizations did not campaign heavily to put the sport in the Olympic Games.[5]
