IOC president Thomas Bach said in an exclusive interview on Wednesday the possibility still exists for the inclusion of baseball and softball for the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Making his first official visit to the Japanese capital after being elected president of the IOC, Bach said, "We will discuss the issue of the composition of the program. First about the procedure — how to do it — and also about the program as such: the content."
Baseball and softball were dropped after the 2008 Being Games, and wrestling was voted in as the 28th sport at the IOC's general session that decided the 2020 Tokyo Games.
