I agree with Badmitton and Table Tennis...Personally, I think golf should be added before Billiards is added...I would love to see both added though!
of all the sports in the olympics
Synchronised swimming what a lmo sport.
I rather watch the frog jumps:grin:
billiards or pool is # 1 for non olympic sports with the highest drug and alcohol abuse .

Not going to happen I'm sad to say.
Just a thought, what billiard game would be played in the Olympics?

But our drugs are not, in general, performance enhancing, and should remain legal.....
Most of those events are big draws and I like most of them as well. Handball actually is really cool to watch.
I would get rid of one of the equestrian events. Amazing that they have 3 or 4 different riding events, yet there's no baseball, rugby, or even lacrosse.
While I sympathize with pool getting into the Olympics, how on earth should it be there ahead of water polo? Besides being played professionally in parts of the world, it is an organized sport in many high schools as well as at the collegiate level. And while the debate about whether pool is even a sport occurs even on this, a pool forum, there is no question that by any measure water polo is a sport and a grueling one at that. It also has a well organized structure of federations world-wide that govern the sport.
I mean if you want to seriously discuss the topic of what pool should replace that's fine, but don't be silly.

I knew a guy that played water polo in college, one of the best athletes i ever knew. He played judo just to stay in shape for water polo=manimal. As much as it sucks, our sport isn't even close to being organized enough to even be considered,let alone what game would be played if it were.
Never bring your pool cue to a sword fight...

Pool is a great GAME. However...isn't it called the Olympic GAMES? Or the Olympic Sports?
And silly, given the fact that every member here likes pool.

I agree about the equestrian events unless they are going to start passing out the medals to horses rather than the "riders". As for other events, last night was doubles men canoe, when or how did that make it as an Olympic event?
