		All of these are activities which the people who organize the Olympics consider to be "sports", and are thinking about adding as new events to future Olympic competitions.
		The IOC (International Olympic Committee) did have enough brains to decide that bodybuilding is not a sport (it's actually defined as a circus act or a freak show) - but the organization has given status to too many other

	Yoga as an Olympic Sport
		Gymnastics, the centerpiece of modern Olympics, is rooted in its origins in ancient Sparta.
		As a competitive sport, gymnastics brings discipline and rigor to its practitioners; the quest for perfection, a perfect 10, drives young boys and girls to sweat, to tear, per chance to bask in a rare moment of glory.
		Yoga, a regime of physical training that is rooted in harmonizing the body with the force of gravity, not to defy it, paradoxically, shares with gymnastics many of the same attributes.

		When you consider that of these many, like track and field, have several events within the category and then break down further to men's and women's and team and individual competition, it is nearly impossible to keep track of the Games as they progress.

	danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: Why ultimate will not become an Olympic sport
		In my life before spouse and child, your humble blogger was a halfway-decent ultimate frisbee player -- good enough to play for the Williams College men's team in the late eighties and Stanford men's ultimate team back in the early nineties.
		I loved the sport, loved the people who played the sport, and counted myself lucky that my only ultimate-related injury was a broken collarbone.
		Another reason ultimate will never be an Olympic sport is that, when played at a high enough level, the self-officiating becomes a weapon.
