If an International Federation introduces a new competition format within its existing Olympic sport, how is it classified under the Olympic Charter?

What fundamental policy shift allowed sports like skateboarding and surfing to be included in the Olympics?
💡 Explanation:The inclusion of sports like skateboarding and surfing is a direct result of the Olympic Agenda 2020 reforms. These reforms gave the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games (OCOG), i.e., the host cities, the power to propose a limited number of additional sports to the IOC Session for inclusion on a per-Games basis. This approach prioritizes relevance to the host city and aims to increase youth appeal, media attractiveness, and gender equality, moving away from a rigid list of 'core' sports.
