after seeing some of the sports added that are considered "olympic" im curious to see what could be added next. some of the events now arent even sports, but really just skills. im not saying they arent hard, (shooting, curling, trampoline, baseball) but i dont think that a lot of them require enough physical ability, even classics like archery. its like making juggling an olympic sport. sure it could be as hard as things in the olypics hard, but its not an olympic sport.
what do you think will be next? im pulling for interprative yo-yo.

Golf is actually being considered for the 2016 Olympics, according to USA Today. That's the earliest it can be incorporated if approved. I guess the OIC will make a decision next October. Oh, and Chicago is the city under consideration for 2016 and Woods will be 40.

golf was tested for the olympics in 1900 and 1904, back when it wasnt one of the biggest sports on earth. personally, i think golf is one step away from baggo.
also, if nisky vaulting were an olympic sport, i would definitly win. no matter what, every medal would go to u.s.

The OIC says the US womens softball team is too good. even though it has only been an olympic sport since 96 and the rest of the world has not had much time to catch up. US has obviously won all the golds.
But the US women have out scored there opponents this olympics 53-1 so far and the one run scored by the opposition was unearned. stole home on a sac fly
