The prospect of Tiger Woods competing for an Olympic gold medal may be moving closer to becoming reality.Golf, along with rugby sevens, look to be the favorites among the sports being considered Thursday for inclusion in the 2016 Summer Games by the International Olympic Committee.
The board will select two sports from a proposed list of seven, which also includes baseball, softball, squash, karate and roller sports. The board will also rule on proposed changes for the 2012 London Olympics, including the addition of women's boxing, mixed doubles in tennis, 50-meter sprints in swimming, BMX freestyle events in cycling and a shortened format for modern pentathlon. I see golf, but rugby? Don't get me wrong, it is Australian football and a mans game, but don't they need to at least include "Mud Wrestling" for the women? Clic pic for story.
