Switzerland took part in 25 sports
Extreme sports never entered the Olympics that's why they invented the X games

They can't possibly put every sport in the olympics. There may be a thousand sports around the world. For example, sumo wrestling in Japan, is a sport. And, it is NOT a sport in the olympics.
Tokyo, japan .. Madrid,Spain .. Chicago,USA .. Rio de Janerio,Brazil are running for the Olympics but most probably japan will win because it has the highest score(8.3) yet ..
28 sports (games) are in the Olympics
Japan has 293 athletes in 24 sports and is not represented in basketball and handball at the Games.
For the Summer Games, Japan has won the most medals in gymnastics, judo, swimming, and wrestling. For the Winter Games, Japan has won the most medals in speed skating and ski jumping.
