Rugby 7s in the 2016 Olympics!
The sports of golf and rugby sevens have been voted today by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session for inclusion in the
program of the 2016 Olympic Games – awarded last Friday to Rio de
Janeiro. The two sports had been recommended by the IOC Executive Board
(EB) in August following an extensive evaluation by the Olympic
Program Commission of the seven sports seeking to enter the program.
“Both golf and rugby are very popular sports with global appeal and a
strong ethic,” said IOC President Jacques Rogge. “They will be great
additions to the Games.” The two sports, voted on separately in
alphabetical order of the sports, golf then rugby, received a simple
majority of votes cast by the members of the Session. The result of the
first vote was not revealed to the Session until the vote for the
second sport had taken place.
Bernard Lapasset, President of the International Rugby Board, said: “I
am so delighted and proud. My thanks to the IOC members for their
wonderful support. Rugby is honored to be a part of the Olympic Sports
Program and we are already looking forward to Rio 2016.”
