Sports that also ought to become Olympic

So what are sports that are worthy to be included in future Olympics? With some “strange” sports already at the Olympics, like shooting, equestrian, and curling (winter), I’m sure there is a sound argument to also include sports like:

  • cricket
  • chess
  • checkers
  • kabaddi
  • sumo wrestling
  • online street fighter/tekken (?)
  • poker

others?

There cant be a more weird sport than beach volleyball. The sports which should come in are Squash, T/20 cricket, maybe Rugby.

:hayaa:
Whaaaa?!

Re: Sports that also ought to become Olympic

whooaa, i thought squash was in!!! If it’s not, it definitely should. After all, with table tennis, badminton and tennis as olympic sport, I don’t see why not squash?

don’t tell me you consider sitting on a horse, while the horse does all the work a sport? Same goes to jumping into a swimming pool while making funny turns and bends? What about rifle shooting?

Chess and checkers involve high degree of thinking activity, which far exceeds normal human activity.

The amount of sweat produced (if that is the definition of sports) is much more while playing street fighter than sitting on a horse.

I also forgot to mention: snooker!

darts and golf

Re: Sports that also ought to become Olympic

I think Squash and T/20 Cricket are slated to be included in 2020.

Re: Sports that also ought to become Olympic

T20 Cricket and Squash must be a part of the next Olympics

Re: Sports that also ought to become Olympic

Last I heard was that T20 was being considered for the 2020 Olympics, but nothing was definite yet. Any update?
