The main reason for the new sports' inclusion (skate, surf, climbing and 3x3 basketball) is to boost youth engagement. They also removed the cap on the number of events which allowed them to easily add those sports without pissing off the horseys and wrastlers.
I'm interested to see what happens to those new sports for following olympiads, surfing taking place in Tahiti for 'Paris' 2024, climbing hopefully getting a few more medals so they're not confined to one combined event etc.
