Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect. The official motto for the 32nd Summer Olympics (Tokyo 2020, held in 2021) was 'United by Emotion', not 'A New World'. 'A New World' was the motto for the Osaka Expo '70. Statement 2 is correct. Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, Karate, and Baseball (returning after being absent) were indeed included as new or returning sports for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. These additions were aimed at making the Games more appealing to a younger audience and reflecting global trends in sports.
