The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising summer and winter games. Originally held in ancient Greece, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin in the late 19th century.\n\n\nThe Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years involving the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. The first such event, then known as the British Empire Games, was held in 1930. The name changed to British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, to British Commonwealth Games in 1978 and assumed the current name of the Commonwealth Games in 1978.

no, the x-games are an international competition, and besides that every athlete in the olympics practices, competes, or trains basically every day. the x-games just happens to be one of the bigger events.

First of all, curling is not a real sport.  It's a leisure activity.  It's not much harder than playing a pocket ball.  The reason it's in Winter Olympics is because there aren't too many events in Winter Olympics.\n\nOn the other hand baseball is definitely a sport.  It requires physical speed, strength, endurance, skills, team spirit and more!  This sport is getting more popular and it should be part of Summer Olympics.  I mean basketball and soccer is in Summer Olympics.  Why shouldn't baseball be?  It's only a matter of time before baseball will be part of Summer Olympics

To promote general health and well being  to the youngsters.  \nTo encourage them to play sports and hopefully find stars of the future.\n\nYou just have to look at the swimming teams for England and Scotland at the last Commonwealth Games.  Packed full of youngsters who had to fear of the Aussies.

Mmm, bowling as a sport in the Summer Olympics. Well, it's in the Commonwealth Games and as you point out curling is simply bowling on ice. Hello, idea forming. In answer: You'd have to contact the people bidding for 2016 and ask them.

Apparently triathlons only take place during the Olympics.  thanks Mike...  Yahoo! has yet to add many sports to the list.  Skate/Snow boarding, Tri's, running.  None of these seem to have made.  But curling and snookering seem to have a large fan base.  Come on Yahoo! guys, think!!!!

We have soccer,  Australian rules and rugby league.\nAussie rules is really popular in Melbourne.\nThe rest of the country is more into rugby league which is an excellent game. \nIt's a bit like american football, minus the padding.\nAussie blokes dont need it and play like men.\nBlues in game 3 for sure......

I AGREE WITH YOU BERT\ngolf is not a sport it doesn't require any athletic ability. same with ping pong (although I still think ping pong is cool) it just doesn't require athletic ability.\nBASEBALL AND SOFTBALL DESERVE TO BE IN THE OLYMPICS MORE THAN GOLF OR PING PONG!!!!!!!!!

olympics may consider only the most internationally recognized sports.. squash was in fact supposed to make it into the 2012 olympics however it was competing with four other sports and unfortunately at the conference it didnt make it into the list of sports tht should be played at the olympics (if im not mistaken non of the sports that day presented good enough a reason to make it in) you see the olympics even today is sacred.. being a squash player myself id love to see squash there.. but it needs to cater to much wider range of people... not just the business managers and ceos who play it during the weekend.. it needs to find a much larger proffessional scope before it would be let in.. however as it was considered it might be a safe guess that by 2016 or 2020 it will be in.. it seems like a long time away but if it does get in it will be a big leap forward.. i sure hope itll happen..
