Los Angeles Olympic Games: Having made its debut in the World Games this August in Chengdu, China, cheerleading, as a sport, is seeking to be part of the Olympic Games family, Jeff Webb, President of the International Cheer Union (ICU), has said.

The ICU is here for the three-day International Federations (IFs) Forum at the Olympic Museum, organised by SportAccord, which gathers the International Olympic Committee (IOC), IFs, and forum partners to talk about the future of sports on Tuesday.

"We've attended the forum for 10 years. About 70 sports are allowed in the forum, which has attendees who are already in the Games. They are the crown jewels. Some of which are already recognized by the IOC, and some are trying to get recognition. So this is the time when all the parts come together to find topics that interest everybody," Webb said.
