Of course, there are the Summer Olympic mainstays like swimming, gymnastics, track and field and basketball.
And after a 13-year hiatus, baseball and softball are returning. Obviously, Major League Baseball season is ongoing, so the biggest stars in the sport will not be competing in the Olympics.

- Surfing
