Very interesting read by Michael Panozzo, Billiards Digest publisher: Fanning the Olympic Flame.
A snippet: "Of course, the whole exercise raises several questions. First, is billiards ever likely to be added to the Summer Games as an official Olympic sport? And two, is the effort to be taken seriously by the IOC worth the time and money required of the worldwide billiard community?"
I still have hope that Barry Hearn/Matchroom Sport will be the change agent for pool; thus, giving us a shot at Olympic Games. And I hope I am still alive to see it.
