Why Lacrosse Should be in the olympics:
Field lacrosse was contested as a full
medal sport at the 1904 and ‘08 Olympics and was a demonstration sport in 1928,
‘32 and ‘48. Since then, lacrosse has continued to expand. The game requires
speed and great skill and some say it is better than hockey. Lacrosse was
played in the Olympics and then dropped.
Major reason Lacrosse isn't in the Olympics
has to do with the fact the International Lacrosse has only 14 members and no
presence at all in South America and Africa. The IOC requires that for a sport
to be considered for the Olympics it must have 75 countries over 4 continents
as members.
Lacrosse still has a long way to go to being an Olympic
sport and being even recognized as an Olympic Sport. In other words it
has very little recognition, as only Canada and the USA really play the sport
at a high enough level.
Therefore I think that lacrosse should be
entered into the future Olympics.http://www.ilindoor.com/2010/03/18/lacrosse-in-the-olympic-games/

Olympic Moment.
The greatest moment in Olympic history was when Bobby Pearce the sculler, stopped for ducks because with an effort that would
have been considered impossible from any of his competitors, and even
today is hard to believe Pearce chased Savrin after stopping for the
duck and its ducklings, caught up with the Frenchmen and then by the
time the race was over Pearce had finished almost 30 seconds in front of
his challenger. In fact Bobby Pearce's time even with the stop included
was the fastest of the remaining eight scullers in that round. Pearce himself gave only one recorded version of the incident that occurred in his scull against Savrin."I had beaten a German and a Dane in
earlier heats and I was racing a Frenchman when I heard wild roars from
the crowd along the bank of the canal. I could see some spectators
vigorously pointing to something behind me, in my path. I peeked over
one shoulder and saw something I didn't like, for a family of ducks in
single file was swimming slowly from shore to shore. It's funny now, but
it wasn't at the time for I had to lean on my oars and wait for a clear
course, and all the while my opponenet was pulling away to a five
length lead."
Not even swimming ducks could halt Bobby Pearce.
