The IOC announced an expanded Olympic Q-Series will stage four stops—Tokyo (May 4–7), Shanghai (May 11–14), Montreal (June 1–4) and Orlando (June 8–11, 2028)—as a central Olympic qualifier ahead of LA28, featuring six sports (3x3 basketball, beach volleyball, BMX freestyle, climbing, flag football and skateboarding) in festival-style urban settings; the exact sport line-up per stop will be confirmed later, continuing a format that aims to boost athlete visibility and fan engagement on the road to the Games.
