Cheerleading has been granted full Olympic status and may make its debut at the Games as soon as Paris 2024.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said yesterday that it had awarded full recognition to the sport whose modern iteration has existed since the Eighties. It was agreed by IOC members, meeting in person in Tokyo for the first time since January 2020.

Lacrosse, kickboxing, Muay Thai, sambo and ice stock sport were also granted full status. Ski mountaineering was added for the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
