The olympics contain no sports. They're all activities and games.

Such sports need to be popular in more than just 1 country or otherwise whats the point if that 1 countrie [America] has no real competition due to a lack of decent teams from other countries.


 

I know that there not as popular over seas, but i assume there more popular then bad mitton or trampoline jumping. There are players from all over the world playing in the MLB over here. And our baseball team is 5-3 with the north koreans being undefeated.  But i get what you all are saying. I saw that they might reinstate golf and rugby id like to watch those.

     Handball was around before Raquetball...... According to Wiki handball was introduced to America around the 1880s......The origin of the sport goes back even further than that to the 15th century or so.

LOL cup stacking. What would be a weird olympic sport for the Asians would be gold farming. Take any MMO give each player a set time to get as much gold as they can, hands down the Asian market wins.
