Selecting the Olympic Sports 

1  There are 28 sports permitted in the Summer Olympic Games. The list of Olympic Sports has many of the world’s best-loved sports on it, such as baseball, judo, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. This list of sports hadn’t changed in 70 years

5  and the process for changing these sports is long and difficult. That is why it was surprising news when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it was studying new sports for the list. At a meeting in Singapore in 2005, the IOC voted on each of the 28 sports from the 2004 Olympic

10  Games in Athens, Greece. Twenty-six of the 28 sports were selected for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which took place in London, England. The two sports that did not receive 50 percent of the votes were baseball and softball. Because these two sports were not selected, the IOC

15  started the process of voting for two new sports. The five sports to select from were roller skating, golf, rugby, squash, and karate. After the first vote, karate and squash were submitted to the IOC for the final vote.

To become an Olympic sport, a sport must receive two-

20  thirds of the votes of the IOC. When the final vote took place, squash received 39 “yes” votes and 63 “no” votes. Karate received 38 “yes” votes and 63 “no” votes. It meant that neither squash nor karate would feature in the 2012 Olympic Games. And sad fans didn’t believe that their sports could be

25  selected for the 2016 Olympic Games.

  No segundo parágrafo, da linha 8 à 13, o texto diz que:   At a meeting in Singapore in 2005, the IOC voted on each of the 28 sports from the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Twenty-six of the 28 sports were selected for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which took place in London, England.

  Tradução: Em uma reunião em Cingapura em 2005, o Comitê Olímpico Internacional votou em cada um dos 28 esportes dos jogos olímpicos de 2004 em Atenas. Vinte e seis dos 28 esportes foram selecionados para os jogos olímpicos de verão em 2012, que aconteceu em Londres na Inglaterra. Os dois esportes que não receberam 50% dos votos foram baseball e softball. 
  O último parágrafo discorre que nem squash nem karatê foram selecionados para os jogos olímpicos de 2012. 
  When the final vote took place, squash received 39 “yes" votes and 63 “no" votes. Karate received 38 “yes" votes and 63 “no" votes. It meant that neither squash nor karate would feature in the 2012 Olympic Games. 
  Tradução: Quando a votação final ocorreu, squash recebeu 39 votos "sim" e 63 votos "não". Karatê recebeu 38 votos "sim" e 63 votos "não". Isso significava que nem  squash nem  karatê apareceriam nos Jogos Olímpicos de 2012.
  
   Dessa forma, apenas a alternativa B não está de acordo com o texto.
