"We have to be careful that the medium and long-term revenues are only
assured if the Games are a success. We have to control the size of complexity
and cost of the Games," he said.
"The programme is one of the major drivers of the cost."
The IOC has set a maximum of 28 sports for the Olympics, but with baseball
and softball being dropped for the 2012 Games, the London Olympics will have 26
sports.
The minimum number of sports is currently set at 15, a point the NOCs
proposed to change to 25.
Rogge said this would be discussed in coming board meetings with a decision
most likely in 2007.
