IOC Accepts, Rejects New Sports

"Minutes after accepting squash and karate new sports for the 2012 Olympics, the IOC has rejected adding them to the Olympic Charter, throwing confusion into plans to add the new sports to the Olympics. Earlier in the day baseball and softball were cut.


Karate and squash were the survivors of a vote among five sports being considered for the Olympics that also included golf, rugby and roller sports. Selected by the IOC as finalists for consideration, both failed by wide margins to receive the 2/3's vote needed to be officially added to the Olympics.


The decision of the IOC now leaves the 2012 program with 26 sports."
