There's a very good item about what it'll take for Ultimate to become
an Olympic sport on the WFDF website:
http://www.wfdf.org/index.php?page=faqs.htm
Shows how far we have to go, not just in terms of numbers, but also
in the presentation of the sport. You need high levels of TV coverage
before a sport can be considered for the Olympics (I didn't know
that)... and we're an awful long way from getting to that point.
Lots being learned from World Games on the presentation and media
front... although the biggest hurdle there is in fact us! (that's a
whole other discussion)
Anyone know how the "demonstration sports" at the Olympics are
decided? I don't recall the Ballroom Dancing World Championships
getting much TV coverage ;-)
