The 2012 Summer Olympic programme features 26 sports and a total of 39 disciplines. London's bid featured 28 sports, in line with other recent Summer Olympics, but the IOC voted to drop baseball and softball. The IOC considered new sports of karate, squash, golf, roller sports and rugby sevens, but none received enough votes to reach the required two-thirds majority. [Golf and Rugby sevens will be added in 2016.] Women's boxing will be added to the programme. Forty athletes will compete in five different weight classes.

In the middle of 2012
Rugby used to be an Olympic sport, and featured at the 1900, 1908, 1920 and 1924 games. It was then dropped. This probably had something to do with the head of the International Olympic Committee stepping down in 1925- Pierre de Coubertin had been huegly influential in having rugby included to start with. No sport can be added to the Olympics unless another sport is dropped. The IRB was confident that its proposal to have sevens included in the 2012 Olympics would be successful. Sevens was one of five sports proposed, but of the five only two (squash and karate) were successful.
IOC voted to drop baseball and softball from the 2012 Games two days after it selected London as the host city. IOC held a vote on whether or not to replace them. The sports considered were karate, squash, golf, roller sports and rugby sevens and they were not added.
