The Bigger Picture
Given all the comings and goings of events in Olympic history, it’s not that hard to imagine more than 7,000 total Olympiads.
Quality Not Quantity
Rather than counting to a set number, there’s more worth in embracing the range of programs beyond what is deemed an ideal state. The IOC seeks to establish a contest of equal pairs in which different sports and the athletes that play them are visible.
A Dynamic Olympic Program
When it comes to this, keep in mind that there exists an arbitrary number of disciplines. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing were included in the competition for the first time ever, and breakdancing will be added to the Paris 2024 Games.
This continuity that adapts each time is really what keeps the Olympic Games alive and interesting for not only athletes but also spectators.

How many events were held at the Paris 2024 Games?
In Summer Olympics more than 330 events With more events occurring per year as time goes on, a conservative estimate of the total number of Summer Olympic events ever held could be in the thousands.
Winter Olympics: Fewer sports and events mean Winter Olympic totals are far lower. In total, there are likely hundreds of Winter Olympic events one could choose from.
Over the course of both the Summer and Winter Games, that number probably approaches a few thousand.
A Focus on the Present
It is difficult to calculate the exact number of Olympic sports over the years but taking a detailed look at the now current program gives us good guidance.
Every edition, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) imprints its outstanding mark by setting forth new sports and events, which makes it a sight for sore eyes to see some fresh faces in a competition of such tradition.
Which sport is removed from the 2024 Olympics?
Sports Removed from the 2024 Paris Olympics
While there weren’t any entire sports removed from the 2024 Paris Olympics, some changes were made to the program:
- Karate: After making its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, karate was not included in Paris 2024.
- Baseball and Softball: These sports, which were included in the Tokyo 2020 Games, were also not part of Paris 2024. However, they are scheduled to return for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
It’s important to note that while these sports were not included in the Paris 2024 Olympics, they might return in future Games, depending on the IOC’s decisions.
