According to the information we have been able to obtain, the padel will be absent from the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, except for a miracle.
According to our colleagues on the site Inside the games, nine international federations have been invited to present a sport with a view to entering (or returning to) the Olympic Games in 2028. The disciplines concerned are as follows: baseball/softball, break-dancing, cricket, flag football, karate, kickboxing, lacrosse, motorsports (probably go-karting) and squash.
As you see, the padel not on the list...
Is all hope lost? Perhaps not, indeed, when one goes to the 2028 Olympics official website, we learn that the IOC will consider any proposal for a new sport from the organizers in 2024. Is there a chance that the LA28 committee wants to see some padel in his Games? Unlikely since the sport is not yet very developed in the United States, but in two years, a lot can happen...
Finally, no big disappointment if the padel is away in Los Angeles, since as we said before having this information, it seemed unlikely anyway to see him present at the Olympic Games before 2032. recent advancements on the other hand allow us to be more and more confident for 10 years from now!
