Todella harmillista minunkin mielestäni. Lajeillehan on olemassa ainakin jonkinlaisia kriteereitä.

"A sport or discipline may be included in the Olympic program if the IOC determines that it is widely practiced around the world, that is, the number of countries and continents that regularly compete in a given sport is the indicator of the sport's prevalence. The requirements for winter sports are considerably lower than for summer sports since many fewer nations compete in winter sports. The IOC also has lower requirements for inclusion of sports and disciplines for women for the same reason. Following the addition of women's boxing in 2012, and women's ski jumping in 2014, there will be no Olympic sport for men only in those Games, although women are still barred from several disciplines (but on the other hand, there are women-only disciplines, such as rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming).

"How olympics sports are chosen? by Kouta Ohyama &and Roshana Molligoda They are chosen by votes from the members of a reprenstitivee of each country in the International Olympics Committe (IOC) There are several requirements to become an olympic sports #1- The perticular sport should have a worldwide/international governing body (like FIFA) and should hold world championships #2- The governing body must be in favour with the IOC and its Anti-Doping codes and conducts of a contest testing #3- For men participants of that sport, there should be people playing actively in 75 countries over 4 continents and for women, 40 countries over 3 continents. For winter sports, it's 25 countries (The perticular sports doesn't need to be famous in the participant country) #4- The sport should be physically performed, not mechanically and shouldn't include a lot of mechanics and technology like car racing. IOC considers popularity and the number of countries played as a part of the criteria called 'Universality' #5- The sports should be recognized and known throughout the world and should have held at least 2 championships before even considered. These are the criterias and needs to be chosen as a olympics sports but it isn't chosed fairly as there are bribing the voters to choose their sport which isn't fair. For the players and the audience to enjoy the olympics, the IOC should give fair decisions as possible.
Sports that depend primarily on mechanical propulsion, such as motor sports, may not be considered for recognition as Olympic sports, though there were power-boating events in the early days of the Olympics before this rule was enacted by the IOC.[2][10] Part of the story of the founding of aviation sports' international governing body, the FAI, originated from an IOC meeting in Brussels, Belgium on June 10, 1905.[11]
These criteria are only a threshold for consideration as Olympic sport. In order to be admitted to the Olympic program, the IOC Session has to approve its inclusion. There are many sports that easily make the required numbers but are not recognized as Olympic sports, mainly because the IOC has decided to put a limit on the number of sports, as well as events and athletes, in the Summer Olympics in order not to increase them from the 28 sports, 300 events and 10,000 athletes of the 2000 Summer Olympics. No such limits exist in the Winter Olympics and the number of events and athletes continue to increase, but no sport has been added since 1998."
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
