I'm not expert, but isn't softball like the female version of baseball, like hurling/camogie or 110m hurdles/100m hurdles? In that way, softball could just be like Women's Baseball, just called Women's softball. Or am I mistaken?

I would support the addition of both

Why not T20 cricket in Olympics? Interest in enough countries: India Sri Lanka Pakistan Australia New Zealand South Africa Afghanistan UK LOTS of Caribbean countries There could be 12, 16, etc teams There could be UK team comprised of mostly England players West Indies could have independent teams (like in Caribbean Premier League e.g. St. Lucia Zouks, Barbados Tridents) Already played at 2010 and 2014 Asian Games Could help tap cricket into key markets i.e. US, China as there is more chance of them watching if it is in the Olympics, a bit like sports such as shooting or archery.

There were no good options to be honest. I'd rather have the Sochi 2014 logo than that, at least it worked.

In Finland, Discovery Communications have sub-licensed rights to YLE.

Unconfirmed. The deal with STAR India expires in 2016 after Rio.

Oh yeah. I never thought of it like that
