- Title
- What makes an Olympic sport?
- Author(s)
- Farquharson, Karen
- Abstract
- Sociologist Kieran Healy posted this fun diagram on the Crooked Timber blog, a two dimensional model of Olympics sports by whether they are good (or bad) sports, and whether they belong in the Olympics (or not). Along with making me laugh, the diagram made me think of what makes a sport appropriate for the Olympics, and why we have these particular sports and not others.
