"As we light our torches in preparation for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, it's hard to believe that some sports have never had the honor of participating in the Games. There are also discontinued sports that were once part of the Olympic Games."
"I don't know about you, but the more sports the merrier! Here are 11 sports that have been part of the Olympics in the past (or present) and 11 sports that, surprisingly, have not! Is there a sport you'd like to see in the Olympics? Comment below!"
The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 torch lighting marks preparation for the upcoming Games. Some sports have never participated in the Olympic program, while other sports were once included but later discontinued. A compilation identifies eleven sports that have been part of the Olympics historically or currently and eleven sports that have not been included. Enthusiasm is expressed for expanding the Olympic sports roster, and there is an invitation for suggestions about which sports should be considered for inclusion. The phrase "the more sports the merrier" underscores support for broader participation. The contrast between discontinued events and never-included sports highlights historical changes in the Olympic program and ongoing debates about what belongs in the Games.
