Lacrosse, cricket, baseball and softball — by way of Oklahoma City — are set to make their Olympic returns to L.A. 2028. Breaking, the New York-rooted, 1980s dance form, appeared to be well-received here in Paris but wasn't invited to the L.A. party. The fledgling World Boxing hopes to be that new international body that can gain enough support from national boxing federations to fill the IBA void. Spain's Enmanuel Reyes Pla is punched by Belgium's Victor Schelstraete in the men's 92kg quarter-final boxing match during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The mayor pointed out that predictions of traffic armageddon in 1984, when the Olympics were last in L.A., never materialized.

LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) - A group of national federations including the United States and Britain announced a new boxing world body on Thursday in a breakaway move aimed at securing the troubled sport's Olympic future. Leaders of the Swiss-registered body, World Boxing, told a news conference that they would seek recognition from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The group includes federations who have already announced boycotts of this year's men's and women's world championships organised by the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA). Amateur boxing's governing body defied IOC guidance and lifted a ban on Russian and Belarusian boxers competing under their flags last October. The United States tops the all-time Olympic boxing medal table with 50 golds and 117 medals, ahead of Cuba and with Britain third.

REUTERS/Denis BalibouseSept 25 (Reuters) - Russian Umar Kremlev will remain president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) after delegates at its extraordinary congress in Armenia on Sunday rejected the proposal to stage a new election. Dutch candidate Boris van der Vorst's hopes of challenging Kremlev for the presidency ended after 106 delegates voted against holding a new election, with 36 voting in favour and four abstaining. Kremlev was elected unopposed in May after Van der Vorst was declared ineligible. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in June that Van der Vorst was wrongly prevented from standing.
