Baseball and softball are Olympic sports again.
After being taken off the official program after 2008, both sports made a comeback for the 2021 Summer Olympics — played in 2021 thanks to a global pandemic. That marked the first time in 13 years anyone was awarded gold medals for their dominance on the diamond.
However, you won’t see either sport in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The short answer why? The Paris organizers didn’t want it.

	Eurosport commentator Bob Ballard has been removed from the broadcaster’s coverage of the Olympic Games for a sexist remark about Australia’s female swimmers.Paris Olympics Organizers Apologize For Drag 'Last Supper' Depiction




	The Australian women’s 4x100m freestyle relay team won the gold, and were making their way out of the Paris Aquatic Centre when the incident happened.




	Ballard said, “Well, the women just finishing up. You know what women are like… hanging around, doing their make-up.”




	Lizzie Simmonds, who was commenting alongside Ballard, described the comment as “outrageous.” She has yet to publicly go beyond that. 




	Compounding Ballard’s gaffe, Paris organizers have promoted the Olympics as “The Equal Games,” with women now 50% of participants.




	A veteran of more than four decades in media, Ballard has covered swimming, diving, and water polo during his broadcasting career.




	Eurosport shared a statement with the UK’s The Independent: “During a segment of Eurosport’s coverage last night, commentator Bob Ballard made an inappropriate comment. To that end, he has been removed from our commentary roster with immediate effect.” Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony Viewership Sees Gold Medal Results For NBCUniversal With Huge Rise From Tokyo

The Olympics trace back to ancient Greece, where they were held in Olympia as a tribute to Zeus. The first record of the ancient games traces back to 776 BC, when athletes from various cities competed in a select few sports.
