New Olympic sports
Discussion
I can't find a thread on this, I'm sure there should be one if there isn't already.
So what do we think should be included? Squash, wrestling, softball, baseball anything else ?
Having played squash for the past 15 years I'm a big fan for having this included I've never known a sport that's so rapid and I've never worked so hard in any other sport.

Squash is one of those odd ones. Those who play it passionately (me, up until I wrecked my shoulder) are well aware of the subtlety & tactical nature of it, 3D Chess is an overused description but it fits.
On the other hand, the ball is too small for TV even when they use a white one & the endless rallying down the wall detracts from the attacking game. Essentially, it's not all that great to watch even though it is an ace game to play.
Should add: I'd blimmin love to see Squash at the Olympics! I think it's been turned down about four times in a row.
