Sports that were excluded from the olympic games
Some sports that were excluded from the Olympic Games were chariot racing, wrestling, and soft ball.
Chariot Racing was removed from the Olympic Games, but there are still races. Chariot racing was one of the first sports to be included in the Olympic Games, but it was removed because of the danger. In most races, horse, and driver would become critically injured.
Wrestling was voted to be in the Olympics, rather than taekwondo, kayaking, field hockey and the modern pentathlon, but was considered dangerous, and is the board in charge of the Olympics is in controversy to decide if it should be allowed or not.
Softball was taken out of the Olympics because the United States was always getting the Gold Medal. For this reason, none of the other countries would have a chance against the United States.
