The IOC has confirmed tweaks to several other sports too, with the men's and women's 470 sailing events - won by Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie in 2012 - traded in for a mixed 470 event.

In athletics, the men's 50km race walk will be replaced by a mixed athletics event. A mixed 400m relay has already been announced for the Paris Games. Swimming will also have a mixed medley relay.
