Men and women will be represented equally in all three sports to maintain gender equality.
Break dancing (sport dancing) will feature for the first time at any Olympic level. Men’s, women’s and mixed team events will take place in a head-to-head "battle" format
Karate will consist of three kumite events per gender. Sport climbing will be a combined event of three climbing disciplines for both men and women.
