Canada has a long history of medalling in its own invented sports, previously demonstrated in snowboarding, freestyle ski-jumping, trampolining, rhythmic gymnastics, and ringette, and the Great White North wants to continue that winning tradition.

THE HISTORY OF RACQUETBALL In 1982, the United States olympic Committee recognized racquetball as a developing olympic sport, bringing new levels of exposure to the game. http://www.courtsplus.com/rbhistory.html
Extractions: THE HISTORY OF RACQUETBALL Racquetball a mere youngster compared to tennis, squash and other racquet sports has encountered a myriad of changes in its short 26-year history. Simple wooden racquets have given way to state-of-the-art frames, intense athlete now share court time with teens and senior adults, and the game, which was born in the USA, is now played in 87 countries worldwide. Racquetball, which celebrated its Silver Anniversary last year, is experiencing a renewed surge in popularity and favor with over 9.3 million active participants. More and more people . . . including Baby Boomers, the 35-44 year old group responsible for making racquetball hot in the 70's and 80's . . . are coming back for fitness and fun. In the Beginning Racquetball can trace its beginnings as early as the 1920's here in America, although the origin of racquetball currently played today has been credited to Joe Sobek, a tennis pro from Greenwich, Connecticut. Seeking an indoor alternative to tennis, Sobek in 1949 combined the rules of squash and handball to create a new game dubbed paddle racquets. He drew up plans using a platform tennis racquet as a pattern, and had an initial order of 25 prototypes made. The sport quickly caught on, but it wasnt until 1968 that racquetball began to realize its potential. Contributing to its rapid rise in popularity was the birth of the International Racquetball Association (IRA), a precursor to the American Amateur Racquetball Association (AARA). Suddenly, racquetball had an organized tournament structure and a uniform set of rules. Another factor was that new equipment specifically designed for the sport became commercially available.

Extractions: An Update by Luke St. Onge Heard time and again – "Why isn't racquetball in the Olympic Games when sports like ‘Ballroom Dancing' and ‘Billiards' are?” Well, the facts are that neither ‘Ballroom Dancing' (now called ‘Sport Dancing') or ‘Billiards' (popularly known as ‘pool') are in the Olympics, regardless of what you hear or read. Lastly, there is a very real political process which must be undertaken after a sport meets all the requirements. The "Olympic-hopeful" must mount a formal election campaign, traveling to over 100 countries and developing very close working relationships with IOC members, staffers and entire organizing committees. How much cash and personnel resources are needed to accomplish this task? It's speculated that a minimum 10-year commitment by the sport's International Federation and over a four million dollar expenditure will just barely meet the requirements for a favorable vote. Even then, the chances remain at 50-50. OK, knowing all this, how does racquetball stack up against these requirements? Well, not too bad, actually. The International Racquetball Federation currently has 91 member countries on five continents. It's open to men and women, and the IRF will host its 9th World Championships in July. Plus, racquetball is currently a full medal sport in the following IOC approved continental games:
Extractions: Your Take Click here for more on this story Posted: Tuesday August 03, 1999 01:54 PM Instead of dueling for dollars, most users feel Tiger Woods and David Duval could play each other for Olympic gold. AP CNN/SI asked users what events they would like to see added to the Summer and Winter Olympics. Many of you thought a good start would be the addition of golf. Have a four-round Olympic golf tournament. The top 100 rated players in the world would participate. To make it attractive to the players, the winner would receive a five-year exemption for all four majors. Bob Shiffrar Boston, MA Does it really matter? Adding events to the Olympics simply adds to the pile of events NBC wouldn't dare televise for fear of offending the purported gymnastics/track/ice-skating loving masses. Heaven forbid people are exposed to something new, different, and potentially interesting. Brian Grivna Minneapolis, MN There is one sport I believe has the proper global exposure and is not gender specific that should be added. Although the entire world is not invited, one of the most compelling events going is the Ryder cup. You could have both team and individual events in Golf. How about Tiger Woods versus Paul Lawrie for the gold medal? Or Team Sweden taking on Team Canada for the women's team gold? It's been a long time since 1904.
Extractions: LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) Baseball, softball and modern pentathlon have three months left to save their sports from being dropped from the Olympics. Ballroom dancing, surfing and bowling can forget trying to get into the games. The International Olympic Committee executive board considered an internal report Thursday proposing the biggest shakeup in the sports program of the summer games. The program commission recommends eliminating baseball, softball and modern pentathlon, as well as events and disciplines in wrestling, equestrian, rowing, sailing, canoe-kayak and others. The report proposes adding golf and rugby on condition that the sports' top athletes take part. The executive board put off a decision on the proposals until its next meeting in late November in Mexico City. The board will then make recommendations to the full IOC session, meeting Nov. 26-29, for final approval. Cutting sports requires a simple majority of the assembly of more than 120 members. A two-thirds majority is needed for adding sports. The revised program would go into effect at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
