The International Olympic Committee plans to name kiteboarding into the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires. The International Kiteboarding Organization has reported that the ISAF Executive Committee confirmed that the IOC Executive Board will confirm the final list of events for all sports of the 2018 Youth Olympic Games during its session in early June.
“Following final IOC confirmation, kiteboarding will be included as one of the four sailing events in the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. This is a significant milestone in ISAFs continuing bid to include kiteboarding in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, as the 2018 event will showcase formats and equipment with the potential for inclusion in Tokyo.”
