Trial-E an Olympic Games sport?
The FIM has submitted a proposal to the Olympic Games organising committee ahead of Paris 2024An FIM delegation has met the Olympic Games organsing committee to set out its case for E-Trial to be on the program at Paris in 2024.
Like Tokyo in 2020, where five additional sports have been included, Paris will be able to showcase several non-Olympic sports consistent with the IOC’s criteria: young sports, open to men and women, sustainable, spectacular, practiced on all continents and requiring no new infrastructure.
“We are convinced that the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 represent a unique and historic opportunity to allow Trial-E to become the first motor sport discipline to be part of the Olympic Games,” said Jorge VIEGAS, FIM President. “This great première will be the foundation for a strong relationship that will bring the FIM, the IOC and all the Olympic family closer together for many years to come.”
A first list of the eligible sports will be submitted to the IOC very soon, and the final decision will be taken after the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.
In parallel, the FIM will present a bid for Trial-E to be included in the World Games in Birmingham (USA) in 2021 and the European Games in 2023.
The five additional sports included on the Tokyo Olympic program are baseball/softball, karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding.
