What sports are no longer in the Olympics and why?

Answer 1

Tug Of War Used To be a Olympic Event but no longer. I don';t know why though. Also Cricket once, Croquet once, Golf, Jeu de Paume(early form of tennis), Lacrosse, Motor Boating once, Pelota once, Polo, Rackets(early form of squash), Rugby. In 2012 Baseball and softball are scheduled to not be held although they are attempting to get back in later games. Some of these sports have also been demonstrated as well as several others which are sometimes of interest to the host nation. Demonstrations are no longer held which I think is a shame as they provide variety to the games.

Answer 2

Answer 3
