And if mass was already said for the padel at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games? The organizing committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) has already announced its directions for Paris 2024. And a priori, no racket sports in sight and no petanque, while the latter seemed to have the wind in its sails.

Let us remember, 2 months ago, Luigi Carraro, the President of the International Federation of padel said he was “confident” about seeing the padel integrate the Olympic Games in Paris. The numbers being there, sport developing all over the world, we can rightly hope to see our sport join the Olympic family.

Luigi Carraro: “The padel will be Olympic sport ”

But the OCOG would rather focus on climbing, skateboarding and surfing and dancing, more specifically on breakdance. Certain sports which had been integrated for the Olympic Games in Japan in 2020 will not be renewed, including Karate, while France is one of the great nations in this discipline with Japan and Spain.

The OCOG wants "rejuvenate the audience"Thus offering sports supposed to be more modern than others. It will be a question of proposingconnected olympics".

Nothing is yet decided and we are still far from the Olympics of Paris 2024. This is only a first episode before many others certainly ...
