With Rio rapidly emerging on the horizon Tokyo 2020 might seem like an age away for many athletes.
But with five new sports being recommended for inclusion into the Games in Japan there will be plenty of newcomers desperate to realise their Olympic dreams.
The hosts are being given the chance to introduce one or more sports into the Games that are popular in their country with baseball/softball, karate, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing all being recommended.
Eight sports in total were shortlisted but bowling, squash and wushu miss out with the Olympic Committee set to make a final decision in August 2016.
But in the meantime here's all you need to know about the sports that might make the cut in 2020.
While many might think baseball is just a sport for our friends across the pond it is actually the national sport of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela and has huge popularity in Japan as well as other countries like Cuba.
If selected it wouldn't be the first time that the sport has made an appearance at the Games with baseball recognised as an Olympic sport at the 1992 Games and featuring every four years until Beijing 2008.
Japan's first baseball team was founded in 1878 and, with world class facilities already in place in the country and millions of followers, the sport could prove a huge hit in 2020.
Riccardo Fraccari, president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation, said: "The entire baseball and softball world is excited and ready to cross the Olympic home plate.”
