Answer 1

No. While there has been discussion about adding Dodge Ball as an Olympics sport, it will not be played in the 2008 Olympics.

Answer 2

Dodgeball will not ever be played in the Olympics because there is no single standard of play throughout the world. In the US alone there are over 5 major types of play. at least 3 in Japan and the eastern world all in which vary very heavily from each other.

Also under Olympic consideration is that a sport has to illustrate longevity in popularity of play over many countries: it is not sufficient that it be merely a 3 or 5 year fad, for instance, with a diminishing following, when considered worldwide. A sport has to illustrate solid growth over a lengthy time period. Even with that having been considered in times past, there have still been many sports that have come and faded from the Olympic arena over the decades. I'm sure the committee would want to avoid such repeats in future, and be careful what sports they actually include. - Deni
