Can you Help?

Answer 1

they have this thing called the i o c, the international olympic committee.........

they meet and decide which and what sports will be approved for the olympics

Answer 2

There are many sports which arent in the olympics. It could be argued that the sports which aid survival are included (javelin and shooting, running swimming et al).

Nobody hunted down wildebeest with 28g nickel tungsten darts, or a steve davis snooker cue in soft leatherette case.
