Winter Olympic sports in Sochi 2014

In Russia, another classification is more common, according to which there are 15 winter Olympic sports.

Winter Olympic sports - Sochi 2014 Olympics.

1. Biathlon - winter olympic view sport that combines cross-country skiing with shooting from a small-caliber rifle. Included in the Olympic program since 1960. It is believed that biathlon as a competition originated in the form of a ski race, which took place in 1767 and was organized by the border guards on the Swedish-Norwegian border.

Olympic Games is the world's largest sports forum and celebration of sports. The modern Olympics are held once every four years. The Olympic Games are organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquartered in Zurich (Switzerland). The Summer Olympic Games have been organized since 1896. The history of the Winter Olympics began in 1924.

Let's try to figure out what sports are included in Olympic Games. A sport becomes an Olympic sport by adding it to the official Olympic program.

The inclusion of any sport in the Olympics program can be initiated by the following sports organizations:

• International sports federation of a sport;
• the National Sports Federation of a sport through the International Federation;
• International Olympic Committee.

When deciding to grant the status of an Olympic sport, the International Olympic Committee analyzes a whole list of criteria that determine this affiliation:

• there must be an International Sports Federation for a sport recognized by the IOC;
• The International Sports Federation of a sport must recognize and implement the "Olympic Charter" as well as the World Anti-Doping Code;
• the sport must be widely popular, competitions must be held regularly in this sport different levels, ending with the world.

Olympic sport competitions are held at the following intervals:

• among men in summer disciplines, tournaments must be held in at least 75 countries located on four continents;
• for women in summer disciplines, competitions must be held in at least 40 countries located on three continents;
• winter sport competitions must be held in at least 25 countries located on three continents.

Given the high competition in the struggle for Olympic status, when determining this status, entertainment, popularity among young people, a commercial component, etc. are also taken into account.

One of my favorite sports. The essence of a football match is that two teams of 11 athletes each try to hit the other team's goal by kicking or heading the ball.

Every year, many unrecognized sports compete for the attention and approval of the International Olympic Committee. But after a lengthy application process and following strict rules, they may not even get approved. If they are approved, this does not mean that these sports will ever appear at the Olympic Games. Given the sheer number of sports in the world, it's a shame that new sports can't bask in the Olympic sun. So which of these sports never got their chance? Here are 25 of the coolest recognized but unapproved Olympic sports.

25. Cricket

Including cricket in the Olympics makes sense. It is one of the most popular sports in the world with over 2 billion followers. More recently, there has been talk of including cricket in the 2024 Olympics. We just have to wait and see what happens.

24. Speed ​​roller skating

If there is traditional skating at the Winter Olympics, then one would think that speed skating would be included in the Summer Olympics. However, it is not yet an Olympic sport. Skating organizations are fighting to include this sport in the Olympic Games, but so far without success.

23. Ultimate Frisbee

Although this sport may seem inappropriate, Ultimate Frisbee has all the necessary parameters to appear in the Olympics. In addition, these competitions are very interesting to watch. There has been talk about whether to include ultimate in the Olympics, especially from the International Olympic Committee, which is keen to meet current trends.

22. Bowling

For many, bowling is what you do after you've tried everything else. It's easy to forget that there are still plenty of really good, competitive bowlers in the world who would be ready to compete in the Olympics. If curling can be in the Olympics, it makes sense to include bowling as well.

21. Parkour

Before you scoff at the possibility of parkour being included in the Olympics, think about it, isn't it just another form of gymnastics? Sports require good physical training. Some oppose the idea because the sport is difficult to judge, but since the leaders of parkour have met with the IOC, it is a possibility that it will be included in the Olympic sports.

20. Squash

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Despite efforts by the World Squash Federation to include squash in the Rio Olympics, the request was denied and will also be denied the inclusion of squash in the Tokyo Olympics. Judging by the popularity of squash in the US, it would be a great sport for the Olympics. There are 1.6 million players in America and 20 million worldwide.

19. Wakeboarding

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Wakeboarding would come in handy at the Olympics. It's a fun water sport and will attract a TV audience. But he hasn't made his debut yet. He was recently rejected from the 2020 Olympics. We hope that it will take place in 2024.

18. Dodgeball

Everyone remembers the dodgeball, and they must be at the Olympics. Everyone knows that this game school lessons physical education. She is incredibly fun to watch and you need to have a solid hand to win.

17. Table football

When you hear "table football", then you probably have images of the school and the students. Table football is not a sport that requires physical training, but it does require a huge number of other skills. Why not include it in the Olympics? Believe it or not, this option is actually being considered by the IOC.

16. Billiards

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

In addition to evoking images of smoky, poorly lit bars or college dorms, billiards is also a highly competitive sport and can be more fun to watch than foosball. Currently World Association professional billiards and snooker (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association) is trying to include it in the list.

15. Chess

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Some people don't consider chess a sport, but they are wrong. Even at the Olympics, chess is considered a sport, but it has never been officially included in the games. We think it's time to change that. There is a small chance that this will happen at the Tokyo 2020 Games.

14. Pole dancing

Yes, we know that including pole dancing in the Olympics is a bit iffy. However, there are competitive pole dancers, and they are perfectly developed physically. Although the sport has not been approved for inclusion in the Olympic Games, it has recently gained observer status and may be included as a sport in the coming years.

13. Beach soccer

Beach soccer is exactly what it's called. Instead of playing football on a grass field, it is played on sandy beach. He was strongly pushed to the Rio Olympics, but eventually rejected. Perhaps one day he will be lucky.

12. Futsal

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Another form of football, futsal is usually played indoors and with fewer players than football. Like beach soccer, futsal was considered as a sport for the Rio Olympics, but it ended up not being included.

11. Darts

Darts goes beyond leisure sports. Darts players take the game very seriously. Although the sport has never competed in the Olympics, it is currently being considered for recognition as an Olympic sport and is hoped to be part of the Olympics in 2024.

10 Ice swimming

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

It would be correct to say that ice swimming is an extreme sport. Swimmers plunge into the water at a temperature of 3.8 degrees Celsius. Its roots stretch back to Europe, and many of its supporters would like ice swimming to be in the Olympics. However, critics call it "too dangerous". However, you could probably say the same about bobsledding.

9. Mixed martial arts

Photo: Pixabay.com

Other martial arts such as judo and wrestling are included in the Olympics, so why not mixed martial arts? They are as old as the world and it would make sense to include them, but the sport has been rejected by the Olympics as "too violent".

8. Floorball



Photo: Wikipedia Commons.com

Floorball is essentially hockey without ice. A ball is used instead of a puck. This sport is quite simple, but at the same time spectacular. It's a crime that this game hasn't made it to the Olympics yet. Although, it was officially recognized by the IOC.

7 Bowles

Photo: en.wikipedia.org

A game of bowls, or bowls, is not bowling, but something like that. Basically, you roll the balls across the uneven lawn to get closer to the other balls. The game was not accepted by the IOC, but bowls organizations are working to change that.

6. Ice climbing

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Climbing an ice wall is a crazy feat for most people, but the athletes who do it would love to compete in the Olympics. While the Olympics have largely rejected the sport, it could be included in the 2022 games.

5. Competitive ballroom dancing

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

We all watched Dancing with the Stars. So why not let these athletes compete in the Olympics? Despite the fact that dance was not considered an Olympic sport, official organization DanceSport did everything possible to change this, and dance entered the future Olympic Games.

4. Frolf

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Frolf, also known as Frisbee, is already recognized as an official Olympic sport. It's great, but it still hasn't been approved for inclusion in the Olympics. We hope that one day Frolf will have a chance to show the world how cool he is.

3. Cheerleading

Photo: commons.wikimedia.org

Calling cheerleading a sport has always been a bit odd, but once it becomes an official Olympic sport, the controversy may well end. It's only a matter of time before he enters the list of the Olympic Games.

2. Sheep shearing

Photo: en.wikipedia.org

It may seem ridiculous to call sheep shearing a sport, but many farmers will disagree. Many feel it's time to take the sport to its highest high level and included in the Olympics. The probability of this is very small. However, it would be interesting to see it.

1. American football

Photo: Pixabay.com

Technically, American football was once included in the Olympics, but that was a long time ago and the sport has since been rejected. Considering that the sport kind of gives America an unfair advantage, would it be interesting to see how other countries play against each other? Some believe that the sport may have a chance to enter the 2024 Olympics.

The status of the Olympic is acquired by a sport, competitions in which are included in the official program of the Olympic Games.

Inclusion of a sport the program of the Olympic Games is initiated by:

International sports federations ( MSF);

National sports federations through MSF;

the International Olympic Committee;

To acquire Olympic status A sport must meet a number of requirements:

The presence of an International Sports Federation for a sport recognized by the IOC;

Recognition and implementation by the relevant sports federations of the "Olympic Charter" and the World Anti-Doping Code;

Wide distribution, holding world, regional and national championships, cup competitions:

• in at least 75 countries on 4 continents for summer men's sports
• not less than 40 countries of 3 continents for summer female species sports
• in at least 25 countries on 3 continents for winter sports

However, due to the strong competition and the interest of the IFs in promoting their events, the fulfillment of the above requirements is not enough to give the sport Olympic status.

In light of the IOC's struggle to limit the over-expansion of the program of the modern Olympic Games, various additional requirements are put forward - entertainment, television audience coverage, popularity among young people, commercial viability and others. The authority to include or exclude a sport from the program of the Olympic Games belongs to the session of the IOC, in relation to the discipline - to the Executive Board of the IOC.

According to the IOC classification, the program of the modern Olympic Games includes 28 summer and 7 winter sports. The number of sports is determined by the number of International Sports Federations. According to the IOC classification, a number of sports are a group of sports (disciplines) united by belonging to one International Sports Federation. These include, for example:

- Water sports(swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming);

- Skating(figure skating, speed skating, short track);

Gymnastics (gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining);

skiing (cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, alpine skiing, ski jumping, freestyle, snowboarding) and others.

In Russia and the CIS countries, there is a practice not to combine some sports into groups, but to consider them separately. Based on this concept, the program of the modern Olympic Games includes 41 summer and 15 winter sports.

Due to the prevailing differences in the definition of the concept of "sport", there is a problem of defining a separate type of competition by sport. Yes, in English language separate view competition is denoted by the word event (event), while in Russian, historically and intuitively, the use of the word “discipline” (discipline) in this context, which, in turn, according to the IOC classification, denotes a subspecies or sport that is part of a group of sports . This sometimes causes confusion.

eng. Sport - - event /Sport-[discipline]-event/

Russian. [Group of sports] - sport - discipline

Sports that were previously included, and then excluded from the program of the Olympic Games:

Baseball (1992–2008), Basque pelota (1900), cricket (1900), croquet (1900), lacrosse (1904–08), same de memory(1908), polo (1900, 1908, 1920–24, 1936), rackets (1908), rocky(1904), softball (1996–2008) water motor sport (1908), tug of war [sometimes seen as discipline athletics or gymnastics] (1900–20).

Sports such as figure skating and hockey, which first appeared on the program Summer Olympics 1908 and 1920, respectively, became part of the program of the Winter Olympic Games since 1924.

The organizers of the Olympic Games, in agreement with the IOC and the relevant MSF can declare in the program of the games as a demonstration (demonstration) sport, which in the future could qualify for Olympic status.

Demonstration sports who have not received Olympic status:

Summer: American football (1932), Australian football (1956), water skiing (1972), ballooning (1900), bowling (1988), bowls (1900), budo(1964), Finnish baseball (1952), glyma [Old Norse wrestling] (1912), gliding [aerobatics] (1936), kaatsen [dutch handball](1928), korfball (1920, 1928), lakan [fencing with canes](1900), long memory [variety of same de pame] (1900), motorcycling (1900), roller hockey (1992), savate [French martial arts] (1924).

Below is a list of all sports included (previously included) in the programs of the Olympic Games. When you click on the links, you will be taken to a page where various information on the selected sport will be presented: Olympic statistics, medal standings, lists of disciplines, Olympic results.
