Yes, taekwondo was an olympic sport in 2008 at the Beijing, China Games. Taekwondo made its Olympic debut in 1988 at the Seoul, Korea Games (appropriately enough). It continued as a demonstration sport at 1992 Games in Barcelona, Spain. Taekwondo was not part of the 1996 Atlanta Games. The International Olympic Committee voted against inclusion of demonstrations sports. Taekwondo became a medal sport at the 2000 Sydney, Australia Games. It continued as an Olympic sport in 2004 at the Athens, Greece Games and in 2008 at the Beijiing, China Games. Following several controversial scoring decisions and upsets and the very unsportsmanlike behavior of the athlete from Cuba, there was fear that taekwondo would be cut from the roster in 2012, but taekwondo has been confirmed as an Olympic sport for the 2012 Games in London and also for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

No. As of the 2008 Games, sky diving has never been an Olympic event. Added... There have been efforts to have skydiving included in the Olympic Games for the past several events, but the organizations have turned the sport down each time. At the present time, skydiving is included in the World Games program which includes many sports which didn't make the cut for the olympics.
