Should cricket be included in the Olympics ?
Question:Its one of the world's most popular team sports, after all. More popular globally than yachting (as a competitive sport), shooting (as a competitive sport), diving (as a competitive sport), gymnastics (as a competitive sport) & all sorts of other things.
Mind you, Australia already win plenty of Gold medals anyway.

It has to be played and be popular in at least a number of countries and at least a number of continents, to be included in the Olympics. I don't remember the numbers exactly, but cricket is definitely popular only in areas of the former British Empire. The sports you mentioned (yachting, diving, gymnastics) are much MUCH more popular and known in Greece for example, where no one even knows how cricket is played, apart from Indian immigrants.Who is your favorite 100m sprinter?
It could be as long as it is restricted to the one day matches.I think the Cricket World Cup is fine on it's own as the biggest cricket event in the world.

Sure, why not? 20-20 would be an ideal inclusion, as it would not overlap with the Cricket World Cup. I think 5 day matches would be too long for a 3 week Olympic program!What was steve prefountaine's training that got him so fast?

No. It takes to long. It might be a demonstration sport but not a recognized Sport. For every sport you add you have to drop a sport. It would have to voted on by the IOC. They would not add another sport its to crowded already. politics would come into the Picture. If it was added it would be for 2012 or 2016 games. There is a 4 year waiting period to be any sport that is added.More Questions & Answers...
