The International Olympic Committee has announced the Olympic Esports Series, an esports competition which will feature a dance event using Just Dance and racing within Gran Turismo.
Qualifying events will be held in various video games over the next few months, the IOC said, before the first-ever in-person finals event to be held in Singapore in June.This isn't the first time the IOC has tried to do esports. Back in 2021, it held the Olympic Virtual Series ahead of the delayed 2020 Tokyo Games. It featured four sports, and failed to make much of an impression.
Cycling, for example, will be"reimagined in Zwift", a massively multiplayer cycling and running app. Archery will be represented by new mobile app Tic Tac Bow, which combines"the traditional requirement for accuracy with the choices of the classic pen-and-paper game" noughts and crosses."The Olympic Movement brings people together in peaceful competition," said David Lappartient, chair of the IOC's Esports Liason Group.
