WBSC and ISA Welcome Proposed Inclusion into 2020 Olympic Games

The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) and the International Surfing Association (ISA), two of the sports among the five proposed by the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee for inclusion into the Olympic Games, have welcomed the decision and expressed their delight at the possible opportunity to compete on the biggest stage.

Baseball/softball is the top sport in Japan and was always likely to be proposed as one of the additional sports for the Games. It is also the biggest sport not currently featured at the Olympic Games.
