Xinhuanet Doha165438+1October 28th The International Olympic Committee held a meeting in Kuwait on the 28th, proposing to reduce the number of fixed events of the Olympic Games to 25, so that more events can have the opportunity to enter the Olympic Games.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will be the last Olympic Games with 28 fixed events. Last year, the International Olympic Committee decided to cancel the "fixed seats" of baseball and softball in the 20 12 Olympic Games. There are only 26 fixed events in the 20 16 Olympic Games, which adds two chances for the remaining events to enter the Olympic Games by voting. The goal of the IOC is to reduce the number of fixed events to 25 in the 2020 Olympic Games.

In addition, the IOC will also change the voting method for a project to enter the Olympic Games: in the past, a project had to be approved by two-thirds of the IOC members, but now it can enter the Olympic Games as long as more than half of the members agree. Ji Ferry, executive director of the Olympic Games of the International Olympic Committee, said: "Projects that want to enter the Olympic Games will face greater opportunities, and conservative ideas will be abandoned."

The above two proposals will be discussed at the IOC General Assembly in July 2007, and the goal of reducing the number of fixed events to 25 is expected to be realized in 20 13.
