Why are cue sports not included in the Olympic Games?

Question

Well I know how many different type of cue sports are there, and for the record there are more than two - apart from billiards and snooker there is pool (8 ball and 9 ball) and also carom. The question is WHY do they not form part of the Olympic Games as medal sports?

Answer 1

i think because when olympics were restarted in 1896 there was no cue game and the olympic org. had some fight with them.

Answer 3

Depends on the host country.  If they think they can grab a Gold, then they'll include it.

Answer 4

Billiards and pool are games not sports. There is some physical requirements to play, but it is not a sport.
