Lovlina Borgohain Considers Move To 70kg After IOC Scraps Her 75kg Weight Class From Olympics

Tokyo Olympics medallist Lovlina Borgohain could move down to the 70kg category after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) scrapped her current 75kg weight class for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, forcing her to pick a new division. The IOC on Wednesday announced the event programme and athlete quotas for the LA Games. With the rejig, Borgohain will have to either move down to 70kg or bulk up to 80kg. "This is brand new information for me. It is quite shocking," Borgohain, who was caught off guard by the development, told PTI from Guwahati.

Adam Peaty announced Wednesday he intends to compete at a fourth Olympics after six new swimming events were added to the 2028 Los Angeles Games in what he called "an amazing decision." The International Olympic Committee ratified a move that will see the 50m backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke all contested for the first time. Previously, only freestyle was raced over the sport's shortest distance despite all four strokes being on the schedule at world championships.
