    How is a sport determined for Olympics inclusion?
  • A sport or discipline may be included in the Olympic program if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) determines that it is widely practiced around the world.

    The number of countries that compete in a given sport is the indicator of the sport's prevalence.

    Following this, for the sport to be admitted to the Olympic program, the IOC Session has to approve its inclusion.
