Must be cool though, if you're from India: basically your country is the one and only reason for an entire sport being in the Olympics, even though it is entirely obvious that it is only for the money (if it was for the sport itself, there would obviously not be a tiny 6-team tournament) :d

India might be the big prize, but the IOC is quite interested in expanding across South Asia. When that region has 3/10 most populous nations and relatively low interest you should want to make an effort to bring in more people/money.

 

Perhaps in a couple decades we'll see Pencak Silat or Dambe become an Olympic sport to bring in the :INA or :NGR market respectively.

I mean, there are plenty of Olympic sports and events that cater very specifically to North America, East Asia and (especially) Europe, I don't think it's a bad thing to have one sport that caters to the Indian subcontinent. Especially since that's more people than North America and Europe combined.

 

Also, IMO on the merrits cricket is definitively worthy of Olympic inclusion.

As mentioned before, there's enough nations which play cricket for it to be Olympic viable. The challenge, like baseball/softball is the venue size.

I'm still going to keep my eternal hopes for kabaddi :p 

 

I highly doubt I'm going to be really aware of cricket's existence in LA, other than a quick glance at the results, but kabaddi...oh boy, that'd be on the list of high priority sports in my viewing schedule :d

  • 2 weeks later...

After Zika, Covid and bed bugs we have found the new reason because of which Olympics are going to be cancelled. Brace for 3.5 years of updates on how Trump's X policy or Y statement will result in cancellation of LA Games.
