Generally, again with the exception of so-called "action sports" and shit like breaking, sports are decided based on the availability of venues and resources.
Which, oddly, means that Brisbane shouldn't have any issues facilitating whatever events they choose, though I don't think we have a whitewater course yet, and we need a stadium rebuild, but for the most part, 2032 is already largely ahead, on that front.
If we even make it to 2032 without some sort of all-consuming global conflict, that is...
For some reason the french chose this over something iconic like parkour.
they're french
Hence why it would make sense for them to make parkour, which is French, an Olympic sport. Rather than breakdancing, which isn't.
I thought it had been included at the previous Olympics.
