ABSTRACT
Chapter 12 offers a brief conclusion, summarising some of our key findings and reflections on this decade long research and the implications for the action sports-Olympic Games assemblage as we move towards Tokyo and beyond.
In this chapter we offer some final thoughts from more than a decade of empirical research about the action sports-Olympic Games assemblage. We revisit some of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) aspirations underpinning Agenda 2020, showing the contrast between the rhetoric and impacts of the inclusion of new action sports into the Olympic Programme.
