All Olympic Programme Sports

The set of sports contested at the Olympic Games, as an overall programme rather than a single discipline. The entry for Olympic sports describes the programme itself, which changes from one Games to the next as sports are added and dropped by the International Olympic Committee. Every sport filed in this group belongs to the Multi-Sport Programmes category and has its own entry in the Sport and Games Atlas, from which a reader can follow links on to its leading athletes, its competitions and the governing bodies that set its rules.
