Boxing, weightlifting and modern pentathlon were not included in the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics.

This was reported on the official website of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The IOC has published a list of 28 sports for approval in the program of the Games-2028. Boxing, weightlifting and modern pentathlon are not included in this list.. The issue of their inclusion will be considered in 2023 by the IOC Executive Board.

To return to the Olympics program, the international federations of these sports need to prove that they have solved a number of problems for which they were excluded.

The International Boxing Association has problems with financial transparency and refereeing issues, and weightlifting with an anti-doping program, and pentathlon needs to find a way to replace equestrian sports in the program and change the format of the competition..

Olympics-2028 will be held from July 21 to August 6.
