When is deadline for IOC to decide? Does anybody here want to try out?

I'd like to see it with plastic balls only, and a flat 40 foot coat of oil reapplied between games. Would I try out if it were local? Sure.

Bowling would be a winter Olympic event I assume. I don't ever even know the winter Olympics are happening.

I like both Olympics as bowling is trying to be summer in 2020. I hope to be there as a bowler or a coach as my loft enables me to bowl the same score on any oil pattern.

It was decided months ago and bowling didn't make it. Speed climbing, surfboarding and skate-boarding made it instead. Bowling just missed out.

You just loft the ball over all the oil? :)

He is a 2 hander, three steps full roller who lofts the ball. I must admit, I am curious to see this. Any chance of posting a video of you bowling?

Bowling will make the Olympics when enough BRIBE money is offered.
Why would bowling want to be mixed in with all those silly things there now.
They will want to change the scoring.
They will want to add judges to rate the style and content.

I don't understand how surfing can be in there, that's one that depends so much on nature. Maybe one guy gets all the good waves, etc. Unless they're going to use one of those wave machines that you see at waterparks lately.
