This followed the addition of skateboarding, bouldering and karate, among others, to the Tokyo Games.
But fans are eager to see another sport integrated into the Olympics – tag.
World Chase Tag was born in 2012, with the inaugural world championship taking place in London four years later.
Since then, it has been held annually in the UK and US and has even been televised in both countries, attracting millions of views online.
Competitors have the task of “marking” their opponents – just like in a playground game.
But at the professional level, obstacles are placed in the arena for athletes to hang over or jump over.
And it creates quite a spectacle, with one athlete chasing the other while a timer counts down from 20 seconds.
Fans are loving the sport and have called for its inclusion in the Olympics.

Another added: “Oh this 100% needs to be official.
“Besides looking badass, they have to be in great shape to do these things.”
And a third wrote: “10/10 would watch.”
The official World Chase Tag account responded saying: We are working on it!”
