If you've ever participated in a serious tournament of tug of war, you know how strong you have to be and how difficult it actually is. It almost feels violent without the actual violence.

[@shekharyadav380]

Tug of war should be included....it is awesome !!!

[@janknoblich4129]

And also incredibly dangerous

[@ryanlifeYT]

I don’t think tug of war will be inclucded its dangerous and ur hands will be in pain

yeah most of the country s don't no what is baseball is

[@caseysmith544]

@@tharinduwijesinghe8255 Actually Baseball/Softball is played by most countries in the "new world" Japan, China Taipei, South Korea, and a few other small Asian Countries that love the sports of Baseball and Softball.

[@Elisheval]

@@caseysmith544 I'm not sure but I think more countries play cricket professionally than baseball.

[@caseysmith544]

@Innocent Yeah that sport same as basball/Softball for women is odd to not have as an Olympic sport Too as UK, India with its large population, Pakistan, some Middle east Counties, South Africa, a few others I am blanking on have this sport as a top 3 sport in the country. It is like Rugby, should be in the Olympics as a 12 or 15 man version not the 7 since the 12 or 15 man is what is played by the rugby leagues around the world. Even in USA most teams are 15 or 12 man in rec or Pro leagues. Trust me If I had money I would in the same stadiums as the NFL start Rugby leagues first Male only then try Female that use the same team name and wear as close a tech polo to the NFL jersey playing in the NFL offseason, the thin headgear would be mandatory though for safety.

[@katie-st8nx]

I'm not sure it's played on enough contanints

Can they bring back tug of war or maybe add red rover.

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Red rover 😂😂😂😂

[@pauliejay4161]

Bring back the obstacle course!

[@caseysmith544]

With the popularity of Spartathlon and the other like series in Europe that started popping up or gaining in popularity in 2010's the sport could make a comeback in a new version.

[@topofthecircle]

There was also the underwater obstacle course, various gymnastic events such as ropeclimb and the swinging rings, as well as the 220-yard low hurdles.

[@ss-mp8zu]

Squash should be included in the Olympics

[@muhammadumerbaig3607]

But Americans can't play it so it can't be an Olympic sport. Sports like squash and cricket not being in Olympic is a joke. While foolish games like rock climbing and baseball are there.

[@boborson5536]

As someone who has absolutely never understood Cricket no matter how much I read Wikipedia or read. I'm all for Cricket being in the Olympics.

[@archivesport7517]

Exactly, it is the most popular sport in some countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, and in the Indian Subcontinent as well, such as in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and most notably, in India. The sport has been in various multi-sport events after the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. Cricket was first held at the (South) Pacific Games in 1979 in Suva, Fiji and was contested in every edition of the Pacific Games except in 1983 in Apia, Western Samoa, 1995 in Papeete, Tahiti and 1999 in Guam. Cricket had also made an appearance at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with 6 nations competing. It featured three events, such as the Men's 50 overs and as well, the men's and women's Twenty20 competition. The gold medal for the Twenty20 tournament was won by Singapore in the men's event and Thailand in the women's event, while the gold for the 50 over tournament was won by hosts Malaysia. Cricket also appeared in the Asian Games and was played on a Twenty20 format. The sport was first contested in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China with the gold being won by Bangladesh in the men's competition while Pakistan has won gold in the women's event. Cricket has made an another appearance at the Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea in 2014 with Sri Lanka being the winner for the men's event while Pakistan had successfully defended their title in the women's event. Cricket was not held in the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, but in 2019, during OCA's General Assembly, the Olympic Council of Asia decided to include the sport in the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China as they announced that the 2022 games would feature 37 sports, including the 28 permanent Olympic sports to be contested at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris as well as events in other non-Olympic sports.
