With the 2008 summer olympics currently being played, we see classic summer events such as track and field, swimming, and soccer. But there are several excellent sports that just don't make the cut. What sports should be added to the Olympics?

Chinese martial art using both people and weapons (awesome), recognized by the IOC as a sport. AND it's been used by the likes of Jet Li and Darth Maul.

The object of the game is to go through the course with the fewest number of throws.

Dueling Pistols link

Hasn't been used since the Olympics of 1906 (probably because the losers tend to be dead). Pretty straight forward concept, and an ABC News survey from the year 2000 showed that 32% of people would love to see this brought back.

Golf greats have been bidding to make golf part of the Olympcs for quite some time. Should it be included?

This sport takes as much dedication and talent as any other sport in the Olympics.

This game takes a lot of strategy and a steady hand.
