According to the article :
"Each of the 28 existing sports was put to a secret vote by the IOC, and baseball and softball failed to receive a majority required to stay on the program. The other 26 sports were retained."So, badminton, dressage (dressage!?) and rhythmic gymnastics are considered ‘sports’ but NOT baseball?
Beach volley ball, an excuse to get bikini clad babes bouncing, jumping and tumbling about, is in but baseball is out?
Hmmph, interesting.
What’s next to be included at the expense of an honest to god sport?
Will there be stiff gold medal competition in croquet?
Paint Ball?
Mini Golf?
Will there be Olympic committee sanctioned motorized lawn mowing competition?
Will Pole Dancing be included? I realize that takes some
strength, coordination and flexibility as well as, naturally, a WAY tiny
costume. Considering the committee's other choices, I can only guess
that Pole Dancing’s a shoe in!
Here’s a way interesting person — Im Dong-hyun, legally blind Olympic archer. Is that some mega heroic stuff or what? He has 20/200 vision in his left eye and 20/100 vision in his right eye. This means he’s legally blind. Wow.
"I don't have any problem or difficulty when I shoot, so I don't wear glasses. The target looks somewhat unclear, but it's not much of an inconvenience,"That’s some gold medal inspirational stuff right there.
