In August 2016, sport climbing, karate, surfing, and skateboarding were approved for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic program. Alongside these new sports, baseball and softball were also approved for inclusion, after having been excluded from the previous two summer games.
Following this announcement, each of these sports has seen a significant increase in funding within the UK and as such one might expect to see a similar increase in the levels of participation. This statistic presents the number of regular participants for each of the four new sports to be introduced at the 2020 Olympic Games, in England, from 2015/2016 to 2020/2021. With the exception of skateboarding, from 2016 to 2020, there has been a general increase in the number of regular participants for each of these sports. Climbing and bouldering exhibits the greatest number of regular participants with over 336 thousand in 2020, reducing considerably to only 18o thousand in between November 2020 and November 2021. Climbing
Olympic sport climbing will consist of three disciplines: lead climbing, bouldering and speed climbing. Lead climbing does not use an in-situ rope, instead a lead climber trails a rope behind them as they ascend, periodically connecting the rope to protection equipment for safety in the event of a fall. Routes tend to involve much more sustained climbing sequences and exhibit a significant problem solving element Bouldering is a climbing discipline that takes place at a relatively low height without the protection of a rope or harness, where bouldering mats are instead used to reduce the risk of injuries from a fall. The routes tend to involve much more powerful moves and techniques and exhibit a significant problem solving element.
Speed climbing is another form of roped climbing in which the speed of an ascent is the ultimate goal. Competition speed climbing, which takes place on a standardized climbing wall and route, requires the use of an entirely different set of skills to almost all other forms of climbing.

Surfing
Surfing will make its Olympic debut in 2020, where four athletes compete at a time, with each heat lasting 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the quality of the waves. During that time each wave can only have one rider. A panel of judges will determine each rider’s performance from wave to wave. Scores are based on the difficulty of maneuver performed. An athlete's two highest scores count, with the two surfers at the top of the rankings moving on to the next round. Karate Karate is a martial art, developed in the Ryukyu Kingdom; a region which went on to become the present-day country of Japan, will make it Olympic debut in 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. It consists of two disciplines for both men and women: Katas and Kumite. Sixty competitors from around the world will compete in the Kumite competition and twenty will compete in the Kata competition.
Skateboarding Olympic skateboarding will consist of two events: park and street. The street course is designed to replicate street skating, with stairs, ramps and rails that riders can use to put together a series of tricks. In each round, the skater’s four highest run or trick scores are added to create their final round score. The park event takes place on bowl-shaped course. Riders use the inclines within the course to build momentum and perform tricks. In each round, the skater’s best of three 45-second runs count as their final round score. The highest and lowest scores for each run are dropped, and the remaining three scores are averaged to two decimal places resulting in the final run score.
