outside chance of Squash being included,maybe we can win some medals there.

Premature thread. Not confirmed yet, atleast wait for confirmation.

 Well saw some Ameri Brahs celebrating the possibility of inclusion of Flag Football so thought about reading  its rules.

Quote

Flag football, in which "tackles" are made by pulling a flag off a belt worn by each player, would be a 5-on-5 affair played on a 50-yard field. There are no offensive and defensive linemen. At the World Games last year, the U.S. men won the gold medal but the women fell to Mexico in the final.

Wasn't there some dance competition in Olympics as well? IOC's a *ing joke really 

[rageaddict]

Five sports have been proposed by the @LA28 Organising Committee for inclusion at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in five years' time:

 Baseball-softball
 Cricket
 Flag football
 Lacrosse
 Squash

The final decision will be made in the coming days. pic.twitter.com/kU1303jY0A

thats only in Paris,LA doesnt want it.Cricket has to get good ratings for it to feature in Brisbane in 2032.

[Vijy]

doesn't seem confirmed as of yet?

 

would rather see kabaddi and kho-kho. While I don't watch them anywhere as much as cricket, I feel that they are legit sports too. moreover, we would be more or less assured of some golds.

I hope India's 3rd most successful captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (after MSD and Kapil) gets to defend his Asian games gold medal.

I hope we get to add Kathak, Bharatnatyam and Yoga too whenever we get to host it.

no way. it'll be an A team. olympics medal is not asian games medal.

[R!TTER]

Olympics isn't the pinnacle of many team or individual sports like Football, Tennis & arguably baseball & Basketball as well. For cricket right now it's probably WC, but you could also say a 5 test away series win in Oz or India.
