The Olympics have always had weird ideas on what sports should be counted. IE: Baseball and Cricket are not Olympic sports, but basketball is.

Baseball doesn't get in because MLB won't stop for two weeks to send the pros.

Lacrosse was apparently discontinued in 1908 after the Canadians gave whoever played it a thorough rear end-kicking. Also it appears that Tug-of-War of all things was an Olympic sport 5 times.

Pleads posted:That bobsledder's door honestly was, right? Like, it had the whole corrugated thing going on and was cardboard, that's not how doors look inside, right? That's how a lot of modern interior doors look. Cardboard is a surprisingly durable material, especially in a rigid structure like a honeycomb, it's why we use it to pack all sorts of expensive poo poo. Seriously that door is fine, if it were was an exterior door it would be one thing but for a bathroom door it is fine.
