International Federations


 

  •  briefly explain an IF (Sports International Federation)
  • As we look at the sports that have been in the Olympics and been removed (Baseball, Softball, Polo, Tug of War, and Wrestling which taken out in 2020 and sports that were added in 2020 such as Karate, Skateboarding and Surfing). From the standpoint of a Sport’s IF (International Federation), what do you see as the relative advantages and disadvantages for a sport to be included in the Olympic Program? Respond considering one that is currently part of the Olympic Program and another that is not, nor will be, to answer this question.
  • Are the Olympics too Eurocentric, failing to consider sports played on other continents such as cricket, football, and others? Explain your opinion.
