sports that aren't in the olympics but should be

Are there any sports you can think of that aren't in the Olympics but should be something like Octopush or off piste skiing down hill mountain biking for example

Squash

F1

Powerlifting?

cricket and lacrosse

I feel like there are too many sports tbh. Football, golf, rugby should be removed since the Olympic gold medal isn't the highest achievement for that sport. The same applies to tennis but tennis at the Olympics has been improving recently so we should keep it.

imo there are more sports that shouldn't be in the summer olympics than should. I'd prefer it was just a union of athletics, swimming, cycling, gymnastics, racket and combat sports. No ball sports (not even water polo :lol:

)

Jousting

benchball

I'd say an olympic gold medal carries quite alot of worth for tennis players, perhaps level with a grand slam (if just below then its still bigger than a masters)

No I definitely wouldn't say it's on par with a Gland Slam.

I wouldn't replace them with anything. There are too many sports in the olympics and that kinda ruins the prestige in my opinion.

but still bigger than a masters, right? IMO if a player wants to truly, unequivocally be called the greatest of all time, the olympic gold medal has to be achieved (best example is S.Williams here) .There are 4 grand slams every year, but there is one Olympic gold medal every 4 years, so id say its still very, very important.
