If ice skating is than by all means. Lacrosse is just as challenging or more compared to the other sports.
It will be! Breakdancing is officially the newest Olympic sport, and competition will debut at the 2024 Paris games. It’s part of the International Olympic Committee’s ongoing effort to appeal to a younger demographic. The real question is: Will the gold medalist be a TikTokker?
As religous ritual, where early civilizations linked athletic performance to divine worship.
No, belly dance is not a Olympic sport. It is one of the oldest dance forms started in the middle east and now combines influences from Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Morocco and Lebanon. It is also involve breathing exercises and help you with your posture. It works whole body like exercise but particularly good for legs, waist and hips.
YES! Jazz dancing is a sport! Any type of dancing is a sport! Just because it is not in the Olympic doesn't make it not a sport. Because football is a sport and not in the Olympics and same with ringette, baseball, soccer and others too. In dancing you always have to work hard and be strong to lift others up and to do twirls and things like that. You also have to have a good memory just like you have to in basketball and baseball to remember all the rules.
Dance may be considered both a performing art and a sport. But only competitive dance (as with the similar form of gymnastics) might be considered an actual sport. For example, figure skating is a sport which is essentially athletic dancing. Dance shares attributes with traditional sports, such as physical development, coordination, practicing, and defined rules.
no it was in the Olympics twice, but is not an olympic sport
Lacrosse is one of the oldest games in history. The sport was the training ground for centuries of warriors of the eastern Native American tribes of North America. The ancient Olympic games were born out of the training for war by the Greeks. Perhaps the question should be, why isn't Lacrosse in the Olympics?
Because lacrosse is only played in America, not many countries are able to pay for all the equipment.
no, but it should be
It started in 1904 and 1908, they made it a medal sport. It was also in the 1928, 1932, and 1948 Olympic games but has not been competed in the Games since.

Lacrosse. If you are looking for a contact sport that won't give you a concussion, lacrosse is for you
there are criteria for each sport to be an olympic sport....i don't know all of them but one is that it must be played/practised in 4 continents!! that is why lacrosse is not an olympic sport....because it is not played in 4 continents!! Anyway...rowing is an awesome sport, perhaps the best to watch in the olympics...it totally deserves to be an olympic sport!!
Not enough countries play lacrosse nor are there enough governing federations associated with the International Lacrosse Federation for the International Olympic Committee to consider adding lacrosse to its list of sports. The popularity of lacrosse is growing ... at the start of 2010 there were 36 countries that were members of the Internation Lacrosse Federation. 40 countries are needed in an international federation before the International Olympic Committee will consider the sport for the Games. And after getting the 40 countries it is a minimun seven year wait before the sport will be added to the Games by the IOC. The IOC will probably add lacrosse to its list of sports in this decade and, possibly, add lacrosse to the Olympics in the 2020s.
