{ Important } IOC only approved LA Olympic Surfing as a Core Sport.
Media Misrepresented this as IOC locking Surfing into Future Olympic Program!
Nowhere has IOC approved ongoing Surfing Approval for future Olympic Games.
Happy to share any such Doc if it exists...
ISA : " Confirm their Excitement to Potentially Showcase Surfing in 2032 Olympics!"
"Where Surfing is essential to Oz Gold Coast!"
Confirming that IOC LA Upgrade to Core Sport does not default approval for any Surfing Future!
Sure! Media can sell the dream to the masses but Olympic Surfing is not certified beyond 2028! Got it!
