How can we try to enter a new sport into the Olympics? 2. If you want to get some information about how to enter a new sport into the Olympics, you can read the article in Part A on page 38. Find out how many parts there are in this article and what information each part talks about. Let’s read the article part by part and try to find the detailed information in each part. Part 1 What requirements must be met before a sport can be considered by the IOC?

First, a sport must have its own international association. Next, it must be practiced by men in at least 75 countries on at least four continents and practiced by women in at least 40 countries and on three countries. Besides, a current sport must be dropped. Part 2 What sports have been removed from the Olympics? Why? Golf, rugby, polo and power boating. Because

these sports became less popular and had to make way for new, more popular sports. Part 3 What sports have been added in the Olympics only recently? And in which year? Tae kwon do, in 2000. What other sports will probably be included? Why? Rugby and golf. Because they are now very popular and are played all around the world. Part 4 Which sport is still trying to get into the Olympics? Wushu, a Chinese martial art. Do you think it is possible for Wushu to become one of the sporting events in the Olympics? Why or why not? 3. Now let’s do B1 and B2 on page 99 of their Workbook.
