Breakdancing is now an Olympic sport. In light of this farcical move, here's my definitive list on what should be an Olympic sport, and what shouldn't...
Archery: Olympic sport.
Artistic Swimming: I don't get it, but Olympic sport.
Athletics: The original Olympic sport.
Badminton: An Olympic sport.
Baseball/Softball: Not an Olympic sport, and arguably just a dumb form of cricket.
Basketball: Great sport, but not an Olympic sport.
Beach Volleyball: An Olympic sport.
Boxing: One of the purest Olympic sports.
Breakdancing: Not an Olympic sport. Not a sport. Possibly not even dancing. An activity, I suppose.
Canoe Slalom/Canoe Sprint: Both Olympic sports.
Cycling - BMX: Not an Olympic sport...
Cycling - Mountain Biking: An Olympic Sport.
Cycling - Road: Not an Olympic sport...
Cycling - Track: A truly wonderful and great Olympic sport.

Cycling - Road: Not an Olympic sport...
Cycling - Track: A truly wonderful and great Olympic sport.
Diving: Again, I don't get it, but it's an Olympic sport.
Equestrian: It pains me to say this, because I don't trust horses and their beady eyes and their bloody hooves and stuff, but it's an Olympic sport.
Fencing: A very pure Olympic sport.
Football: Never ever an Olympic sport. A shambles that field football is in the Olympics. However...
Beach Soccer: SHOULD BE AN OLYMPIC SPORT.
Beach Soccer: SHOULD BE AN OLYMPIC SPORT.
Golf: As above, this should be nowhere near the Olympics. It's not an Olympic sport.
Gymnastics: An Olympic sport.
Handball: I'm on the fence here. I'm gonna say it is an Olympic sport, because I think this is probably the peak of handball right here. But I could be wrong. The only time I might be wrong on this list.
Hockey: An Olympic sport. Doesn't have the money and profile of the other team sports, and deserves to be there.
Judo: An Olympic sport.
Karate: An Olympic sport.
Marathon Swimming: An Olympic sport.
Side note: there are a lot of sports in the Olympics, huh?

Modern Pentathlon: In the hunt to be the best of the Olympic sports.

Shooting: An Olympic sport.
Skateboarding: An X Games sport, not an Olympic one.
Sport Climbing: A nice new addition to the Olympic sport family.
Surfing: Again, I'm happy with this one. An Olympic sport.
Swimming: Athletics, Fencing, Swimming, they should all be protected and Olympic sports forever.
Table Tennis: An Olympic sport.
Tennis: Definitely not an Olympic sport.
Tennis: Definitely not an Olympic sport.
Taekwondo: An Olympic sport.
Trampoline: A child's activity, and an Olympic sport.
Triathlon: An Olympic sport for people who love punishment.
Volleyball: Squeezes into the Olympic sport category, but only just.
Water Polo: An Olympic sport.
Weightlifting: Another great Olympic sport.
Wrestling: To finish, another Olympic sport. The real kind, not the Vince McMahon kind.
I reserve the right to be proven wrong by any of these sports. But now this is off my chest. It's now in your court Thomas Bach.
