I have invented a sport. How can I get it into the Olympics?

Question

It's called underwater cycling. Basically, you attach lead weights to your bicycle and ride it along the bottom of the pool. You have to do it without coming up for air. How would get this officially recognised?

Answer 1

i don't know. but it sounds like a dumb sport.

Answer 2

Can you fill a Velodrome with water?

Answer 3

Just slip the IOC about half a billion dollars and you'll get the red carpet treatment when you come to show your "sport".  

Answer 4

First, you have to find many thousands of people willing to practice it.

Once it becomes a popular sport, the IOC could consider including it into the Olympics.

But even if it were something with potential to become a sport, I'm afraid that wouldn't happen in your lifetime, or in such a short time.

Did you know that softwall is going to be removed from the Olympics?

Because it is not popular enough...

Answer 5

I agree with the love duck, slip some coin and get a corporate sponsor and your in.

If the horse jumping thing can be a sport why not underwater cycling?

Answer 6

Sounds awesome. I'll offer to try it out, if I can get a place in the Olympic team.
