How does a sport get in the olympics?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
I have linked to a full answer. To summarise, the sport must have an international governing body and a world championships. It must be in compliance with the Olympic Charter which means Anti-Doping Code and conduct policy. Also a minimum set of olympic competing nations must compete at the sport. It must be physical not mechanical, athletic performance.

When the pre-requisits are met it can then get voted in.

Apparently the Olympics execution board at times hold a vote for new sports to enter the Olympics. I think Golf has got the nod for 2016 Rio, and there is apparently another vote happening in 2016.

table tennis is intense love all sports go thought a vote

Dont know urs mentality..

But this game is worlds fastest game(least reaction time)...

It involves vry fast, co-ordinated and balanced movements..

with vry good stance with each and every movement.. along with mind. THIS IS A COMPLETE BODY BALANCING GAME

Tats d real SPORT...

Jst check d links:



Women's Handball. Who knew?

What allows a sport to be in the olympics?

And what about table tennis? I know it takes loads of concentration to follow the ball, and muscle to keep hitting it back and forth.. but to me it doesn't seem like a sport (more like a game)

Please don't get upset about my opinion.....
