So far, 43 different sports have been present in the Olympic program at the Summer Olympics. The current program of the Summer Olympics includes 28 sports with 38 disciplines. In the past, many sports were also present at the Olympic Games, which we will not see at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Such are tug-of-war and hot air ballooning. This year, after more than 100 years, golf returned to the list, and in 2014 the International Olympic Committee removed the restriction that only 28 sports could be represented at the Olympic Games, which was often the main reason that certain sports fell out of the program. The limit is now 10,500 athletes and 310 events, which will apply for the first time at POI Tokyo 2020.
