With the return of baseball and softball to the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee has added karate, rock climbing, skateboarding and surfing, increasing the number of Olympic events from 28 to 33.

Today, the Asian Olympic Council has decided to reduce some of the events in the 18th Asian Games, including cricket, skateboarding and surfing. According to the constitution of the Asian Olympic Council, the Asian Olympic Council is the only highest leading organization with the right to decide the competition items of the Asian Games.
