Why is rugby no longer an olympic event?
There seems to have been several important reasons why rugby was excluded as an Olympic event after the 1924 Games in Paris: 1) After the gold medal game, won by the United States over France by the score of 17-3, angry fans stormed the field and the US team needed police protection to leave. 2) Baron Pierre de Courbetin stepped down as head of the IOC. He was a big rugby fan. 3) The event attracted very few teams. In 1924 only France, United States, and Romania were entered. In 1900 and 1908, only three teams entered the competition (In 1900, the teams were France, Germany, and Great Britain. In 1908, the teams were Australasia, France and Great Britain). In 1920, only France and the United States competed. So the fact that very few teams competed coupled with the near riot after the 1924 gold medal game coupled with the departure of Baron Pierre de Courbetin spelled the doom for rugby at the Olympics. There have been several attempts to get rugby reinstated into the Olympis without success. It doesn't look like rugby will be an Olympic event anytime in the near future.
