Olympic leaders have recommended the addition of baseball-softball and four other sports to the program of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
IOC executive board member C.K. Wu tells The Associated Press that the board backed the proposed inclusion of the combined baseball-softball bid, as well as surfing, karate, roller skating and sport climbing.
The decision, which was widely expected, came Wednesday on the opening day of a three-day board meeting in Lausanne.
