    Nah, fuck the Olympics! In terms of corruption they make FIFA look like choirboys. They ruined Judo, they'd do the same with BJJ.

    couldn't of said it better, they would start implying rules then insurence then you'd have to be registered and shit. no thanks i like the close network that BJJ is. in my opinion anyway.

    It would never happen. They are trying to cut sports as it is, and certainly wouldn't add a new one with such a limited geographic spread of participants.

    Why do the people who post this thread all the time not do a bit of reading and realise all sports are already agreed for the next 3 (I think) Olympics and there are no demo sports anymore.

    having said that given there are 50,000 different variations of swimming discipline, they should extend wrestling to have sub grappling as a third style, much easier to manage.

    this. Also isn't one of the main criteria that one country can't be dominant which rules it out anyway as the brazilians would clean up.
