The Evolution of Olympic Sports: Since the first modern Olympics in 1896, the roster of sports has evolved significantly. Initially, events included track and field, swimming, gymnastics, and cycling. Over the years, new sports like basketball (1936), volleyball (1964), and triathlon (2000) were added. Recent additions include skateboarding, surfing, and sport climbing, introduced at Tokyo 2020. The inclusion of these contemporary sports reflects the changing interests of global audiences and the Olympic Committee's efforts to remain relevant. This evolution ensures the Games continue to inspire and engage new generations of athletes and fans.
