Bowling is not an Olympic event and there is no timeline for adding it (although bowling has been included in the Special Olympics since 1975),

With approximately 150 million bowlers in the world, and bowling federations set up in more than 100 nations, it is time to include bowling. Anoither advantage is that judges or officials almost can never determine the outcome of any competitons.

Yeah, your right but the IOC doesn't think bowling is a popular fan viewing sport. Look at Baseball & Softball both have been removed from the Olympics. Not enough thrilling "on the edge of your seat" moments. Before you say it "NO" ping pong (table tennis) is not thrilling or exciting to watch. along with waterpolo, team handball and several others that are still "active Olympic sports".
