The organizers declined to hold a [[Judo at the Summer Olympics|judo]] tournament at the Olympics, even though it had been a full-medal sport [[Judo at the 1964 Summer Olympics|four years earlier]]. This was the last time judo was not included in the Olympic games. 

[[Baseball at the Summer Olympics|Baseball]] had been featured as a demonstration sport at the [[Baseball at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Tokyo Games]], but not in 1968, despite Mexico's [[Baseball in Mexico|baseball heritage]]. Instead, a separate [[International Amateur Baseball Tournament|international tournament]] was held in Mexico City, shortly after the conclusion of the Olympic Games.
