The International Olympic Committee has announced plans to create the Olympic Esports Games.
During the opening ceremony of the 141st IOC session on Saturday in Mumbai, India, IOC president Thomas Bach revealed that the recently formed IOC Esports Commission will "study the creation" of such an event.
"With respect to esports, our values are and remain the red line that we will not cross," said Bach. "Our crystal-clear position is gaining more and more respect also in the esports community."
