Not all sports partake in the Olympics, though they’re plenty fun to play and watch. Athletes all over the world still choose to participate in sports that they know won’t be featured at the new Olympic competition. This includes things like American football, cricket, chess, polo, darts and bowling. Pickleball is a fun sport to watch whether or not it’s added to the Olympic lineup anytime soon. The International Olympic Committee determines what sports will be part of the competition. An international non-governmental sports organization must run any sport that is part of the Olympics. The rules must be thoroughly understood and practiced by anyone that is participating. The Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Code must also be adhered to qualify and compete. An Olympic sport must be played in 75 different countries if it’s going to be part of the Olympic Men’s Division. To qualify for the women’s division, 40 countries across three continents is the requirement. The host country must be able to accommodate the sport.
