Last olympics it was considered by the olympic commitee so i dont see why it may not be considered again.
Even if its not included in the approaching Olympics or in the future ones, i still think its worthing signing.
it being considered and it being chosen are two different things entirely . in the olympics in 1996 in atlanta, baseball was a reprisented sport, mainly because it is considered mainstream in the US, in 1992 at the barcelona olympics, the demonstration ''sport'' basque pelota, a form of north spanish game, with the big claw things, was featured, and so my sinicism is only founded in the fact that unless paintball becomes a mainstream, accepted pro sport, in ANY country, it will never have a place in the olympics, especially as it is argueably half player, half gear. That's just my opinion btw.
the only way that we will ever see the paintball equivalent of the olympics is if we had an x ball world cup every year ... even then it wont be in the olympics (.sp?)
I think they should just introduce something like an "Extreme Sports Olympics", That way it will promote the sport aswell making 1000x more enjoyable for the people playing. I think sports such as Motor X, Skateboarding etc. should be included too.
