Don’t forget the sports!

Did you know that there are some unusual sports in the Olympics that you might not have thought about when looking for tickets?
For instance, did you know that skateboarding is featuring for the first time this year? As the games adapt to modern culture new sports are introduced and there’ll be 4 medal events for this new addition. In total the are 18 additional events across baseball/softball, Karate, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing, and Surfing.
In the Paralympics, there is Boccia, a high strategy game. It has its origins in ancient Greece but has been included in the Paralympic games since 1984. You might be familiar with games such as boules and bowls and this has similar elements. A target ball is thrown and there are 6 additional balls that are thrown by each team with the aim of getting closest to the target ball.
New events at the Paralympics are in Taekwondo and Badminton.
Still not decided yet?
