We would have heard more about it, if this was the case. I do believe there is a IOC rule that does exist.

If this is true, then it's quite a scoop! If the IOC rule exists, what event did London 2012 choose as their 'wild card'?

They didn't, but China did, I think London was interested in implementing golf or rugby sevens. I believe they implemented wushu. The star could return as a demonstration sport could it not.

"Demonstration Sports" are no more- it's now "core sports" and "additional sports". Rio's "additional sports" are Rugby Sevens and Golf. Yes, Golf. Rugby and Golf are gone entirely in 2020, and Wrestling is in the list of possible "additional sports" (up to three) |

That still doesnt explain if the star is back in. It would be good to know sailing anarchies source. There has been little word of it on y and y before.

I have to admit it's the first I've heard of this - as said earlier, if this is true then SA have picked up a real scoop - good on 'em! |

Justice at last - Olympic sailing will not be reserved for the dwarves!

My understanding would be that a host city cannot add a sport, discipline or event, and therefore the story is either fundeamentally wrong, or is right but with the wrong explanation.
