UPSC IAS – 2021
Statement 1: The official motto for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics was “United by Emotion”. “A New World” was not the official motto. Thus, Statement 1 is not correct.
Statement 2: Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, Karate, and Baseball (along with Softball) were indeed included as new sports in the program for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, either making their debut or returning after previous exclusion. Thus, Statement 2 is correct.
Based on the analysis, only statement 2 is correct. Therefore, the correct option is B.
– Several new sports were added to the Olympic program for Tokyo 2020, including Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, Karate, and Baseball/Softball.
