💡 Analysis & Explanation
Olympic Motto Analysis ▼
The official motto adopted for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (the 32nd Summer Olympics) was "United by Emotion". The phrase "A New World" was actually the official motto for the preceding Rio 2016 games. Thus, statement 1 is incorrect.
New Sports Integration ▼
In a strategic effort to attract younger audiences and reflect modern urban sports culture, the International Olympic Committee officially debuted several new sports at the Tokyo games. This new roster specifically included Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, and Karate, while also bringing back Baseball/Softball. Thus, statement 2 is factually accurate.
Conclusion ▼
Only the information regarding the newly included sports is correct.
