Home›Sports›Olympic Programme Status›Current Olympic SportBrowse ByCurrent Olympic SportOlympic programme status records whether a sport is actually part of the Olympic Games. Wikipedia notes the men's football World Cup is "the most-viewed sporting event in the world, surpassing the Olympic Games," a comparison that only makes sense because football itself is contested at the Olympics too. This dimension separates sports on the Olympic programme from those that have never been included.Current Olympic SportSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Current Olympic SportFilter Results48 entriesOrigin RegionAllChicago, Illinois, United States (1)Dnieper and Don river region (modern Ukraine and Russia) (1)England (2)Europe (1)Europe (Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden) (1)Europe (France) (1)Europe (Lwow, Poland, present-day Lviv, Ukraine) (1)France (Paris) (1)Germany (1)Michigan, United States (1)Netherlands (1)Northern Europe (1)Norway (1)Polynesia (1)Scandinavia (1)Scotland (1)Scotland and England (1)Springfield, Massachusetts, United States (1)Switzerland (1)United States, developed from English bat and ball games (1)Derived FromAllBadminton (1)Baseball (1)Hurling (1)Karate (1)Rugby Union (1)Tennis (1)Origin YearAll-3000 (1)-776 (1)-708 (1)400 (1)1100 (1)1598 (1)1744 (1)1763 (1)1767 (1)1808 (1)1811 (1)1830 (1)1837 (1)1839 (1)1845 (1)1863 (1)1866 (1)1867 (1)1868 (1)1870 (1)1871 (1)1873 (1)1874 (1)1875 (1)1882 (2)1883 (1)1886 (1)1887 (1)1891 (2)1892 (1)1895 (1)1896 (3)1900 (1)1906 (1)1907 (1)1912 (1)1913 (1)1917 (1)1921 (1)1924 (2)1926 (1)1931 (1)1955 (1)1965 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 48Alpine SkiingCurrent Olympic SportArcheryCurrent Olympic SportArtistic SwimmingCurrent Olympic SportAssociation FootballCurrent Olympic SportAthleticsCurrent Olympic SportBadmintonCurrent Olympic SportBaseballCurrent Olympic SportBasketballCurrent Olympic SportBiathlonCurrent Olympic SportBobsleighCurrent Olympic SportBoxingCurrent Olympic SportCanoeingCurrent Olympic SportCricketCurrent Olympic SportCyclingCurrent Olympic SportDivingCurrent Olympic SportEquestrianCurrent Olympic SportFencingCurrent Olympic SportField HockeyCurrent Olympic SportFigure SkatingCurrent Olympic SportFreestyle skiingCurrent Olympic SportGolfCurrent Olympic SportGymnasticsCurrent Olympic SportHandballCurrent Olympic SportIce HockeyCurrent Olympic SportJudoCurrent Olympic SportLugeCurrent Olympic SportMarathonCurrent Olympic SportNordic SkiingCurrent Olympic SportRock ClimbingCurrent Olympic SportRowingCurrent Olympic SportRugby UnionCurrent Olympic SportSailingCurrent Olympic SportShootingCurrent Olympic SportSkateboardingCurrent Olympic SportSki JumpingCurrent Olympic SportSnowboardingCurrent Olympic SportSoftballCurrent Olympic SportSpeed SkatingCurrent Olympic SportSquashCurrent Olympic SportSurfingCurrent Olympic SportSwimmingCurrent Olympic SportTable TennisCurrent Olympic SportTaekwondoCurrent Olympic SportTennisCurrent Olympic SportVolleyballCurrent Olympic SportWater PoloCurrent Olympic SportWeightliftingCurrent Olympic SportWrestlingCurrent Olympic SportSourcesWikipedia, Golftier 2WikipediaContains: GolfView the SourceWikipedia, Squash (sport)tier 2WikipediaContains: SquashView the SourceWikipedia, Water Polotier 2WikipediaContains: Water PoloView the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
