\"Rio<\/a>

Rio 2016<\/p><\/div>Rugby Sevens made its first appearance at an Olympics this year and has been a phenomenal success. My Dad (dyed in the wool footie fan, not the most tolerant of non working class sports it has to be said \u2013 best not to comment on which football team he supports) actually admitted to enjoying the rugby<\/strong>, the women\u2019s <\/em>rugby at that. I haven\u2019t picked my jaw up off the floor yet.<\/p>\n

Given that rugby is in, that had me wondering why certain sports are included and others are not. Many people take the Michael Phelps out of synchronized swimming <\/strong>for example, so why is that included, when others aren\u2019t? That set me to thinking about sports not in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Sports not in the Olympics include that old British favourite, cricket<\/strong>. Cricket is apparently the second most watched sport in the world, which is not surprising when you think of how popular it is on the Indian subcontinent. If you\u2019ve never visited India, you won\u2019t know that there is a game of cricket going on in every patch of waste ground during daylight hours. And boy do the kids play well! Cricket made the cut for the Olympics in the first modern games in 1896 but never again, because of a lack of entrants. It was considered for 2016 but never made it. It may make a resurgence in the future in its 20\/20 format.<\/p>\n

\"Is<\/a>

Is darts a sport? Discuss<\/p><\/div>Darts<\/strong>. I can never take the idea of darts as a sport seriously (discuss) but many disagree with me. Word on the street says that largely thanks to pressure from various official dart organisations, the Olympic Committee may incorporate it in the 2024 games.<\/p>\n

Squash<\/strong>. I thought Squash was an Olympic sport, but it turns out I was wrong (not often you\u2019ll hear me saying that!). It is estimated that globally, 17 million people around the world play squash. The game has been touted before but rejected in favour of wrestling. A new bid is expected for the 2024 games.<\/p>\n

Polo<\/strong>. Perhaps the Olympics isn\u2019t posh enough for polo. It was a part of the Olympics until 1936, but faded into relative obscurity for a while. Now that the rich are winning at life again, polo may make a resurgence. That\u2019s one for the dressage\/sailing crowd I guess.<\/p>\n

For the same reason, lacrosse <\/strong>made it to the Olympics twice (in 1904 and 1908), and was a demonstration sport at the Olympics in 1928, 1932 and 1948. There\u2019s a lovely nugget of information about lacrosse on the Tinterweb that suggests that in 1904 the players on the bronze medal-winning Canadian lacrosse team consisted of Mohawk Indians, who had names such as Rain In Face, Snake Eater and Man Afraid Soap. Magic!<\/p>\n

Bowling <\/strong>made it into the Seoul Olympic Games in Korea as a demonstration sport, but only 20 countries participated and it hasn\u2019t been seen since.<\/p>\n

Netball<\/strong>. When I think of school netball, it was a fairly static sport that didn\u2019t require much effort. If you\u2019ve ever seen it at club level you\u2019ll know it\u2019s superfast, in your face, kick arsed bitchiness. It may make it in the future.<\/p>\n

Karate <\/strong>is one of the sports not in the Olympics despite other martial arts making an appearance. This is because there is no standard style of “sport” karate, unlike taekwondo <\/strong>or Judo <\/strong>for example. <\/p>\n

Chess<\/strong>. As with darts, it\u2019s difficult to know whether you can define chess as a sport or simply as a leisure activity. But the IOC recognised chess as a sport way back in 1924. So far it is one of the sports not in the Olympics and likely to remain so.<\/p>\n

Orienteering<\/strong>. I always think of orienteering as \u2018getting lost and trying to find your way home again.\u2019 It\u2019s not an Olympic sport, but it is the World Games (not to be confused with The Hunger Games<\/em>).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no cross country running <\/strong>or baseball <\/strong>or softball<\/strong>. The latter two have only recently been removed from the programme, as has windsurfing. Windsurfing <\/strong>has supposedly been replaced with kiteboarding<\/strong>, but I haven\u2019t seen any evidence of this yet.<\/p>\n

\"Skateboarding<\/a>

Skateboarding half pipe for the Summer Olympics – that would be cool!<\/p><\/div>While BMX cycling <\/strong>is an Olympic sport, you don\u2019t see any of the half pipe or acrobatics that you see in the winter Olympics on skis and snowboards. This is an oversight I reckon. Very dramatic stuff! Similarly, there\u2019s no skating, which could be held in a similar style venue to the velodrome. The ice skating (racing) is always something to behold.<\/p>\n

Tug-of-War<\/strong>. Well why not? It\u2019s an ancient sport, beloved of those deep in their cups and was an Olympic sport until the early twentieth century.<\/p>\n

Other Olympic sports that are now sports not in the Olympics<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022\tCroquet
\n\u2022\tMotor boating
\n\u2022\tPlunge for distance (where the competitors began with a standing dive, then remained motionless underwater for one minute or until their heads broke the surface of the water, whichever came first). Hmmm\u2026.. It was held once in Paris, in 1904 and was won by the USA.
\n\u2022\tUnderwater swimming. This was dropped because of a lack of appeal for spectators. I.Am.Not.Making.This.Up.
\n\u2022\tObstacle race for swimming. This was swum over 200m. Competitors had to climb over a pole, then scramble over a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All this in the River Seine! They really ought to bring this back, it sounds brilliant.
\n\u2022\tJeu de paume \u2013 an older version of lawn tennis
\n\u2022\tRacquets \u2013 like Squash<\/p>\n

\"Bring<\/a>

Bring back chariot racing<\/p><\/div>A sport once found in the Ancient Olympics that we ought to bring back is chariot racing. I can channel my inner Ben Hur<\/em><\/strong>. Oh the drama! Oh the bad acting!<\/p>\n
