About the session:

New sports are reshaping the Olympic idea and its perception. How do Breaking, Flag Football, or HYROX become new stages for culture, gender equality, innovation, and young audiences in the Olympic context? What opportunities arise for media, sponsors, and host cities – and what risks follow after the hype? What are the challenges and opportunities for national federations when a sport is designated as Olympic? This masterclass explores these questions as a pathway to added value and opportunity for Hamburg as a future host city.
