Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Bowling Table of Contents Early History Bowling in America International Bowling Professional Bowling ... Other Resources Early History Rolling a ball to knock down targets has been the object of a number of games, at various times and in various parts of the world. The implements for such a game have been found in an Egyptian tomb that's more than 7,000 years old, and a sort of bowling has been popular among Polynesian Islanders for at least several centuries. But the modern sport of bowling, which seems distinctly American and very secular, probably grew out of a German religious ceremony. In the 3rd century AD, every German peasant carried a Kegel, a club similar to the Irish shillelagh, for protection. It became a customary test of faith in many churches for the parishioner to set up his Kegel as a target, representing the heathen, and then roll a stone in an attempt to knock it down. If he succeeded, he was considered free of sin. Bowling eventually moved out of the church and became a popular secular sport, with a wooden ball replacing the stone and multiple pins (from as few as three to as many as seventeen) replacing the single Kegel. There are several references to bowling in Germany during the Middle Ages. Berlin and Cologne in 1325 set a limit on the amount that could be bet on a bowling match. A 1463 feast in Frankfurt featured bowling, along with a venison dinner. And the winner of a 1518 competition in Breslau was awarded an ox.

How Did Synchronized Swimming Become an Olympic Sport? Emily Yoffe Posted Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2000, at 3:25 PM PT Or for that matter this year's addition to the Olympic canon, its cousin, synchronized diving? There are three ways an activity can come into the Olympics: as a completely new sport; as a discipline, a branch of an existing sport; or as an event, a competition within a discipline. Triathlon is making its Olympic debut as a sport in Sydney; trampoline, which is part of gymnastics, is a new discipline; and women's pole vaulting the latest track and field event. Continue Article placeAd(2,'slate.homepage/slate') The first step to becoming a recognized sport of the Summer Games requires being organized into an international federation and having male participants in at least 75 countries on four continents and female participants in at least 40 countries on three continents. Once the International Olympic Committee votes to recognize a federation, the next step becomes a matter of lobbying. This is supposed to be done without the help of that now-banned Olympic activity, bribery. The IOC now recognizes 31 federations in everything from bridge to korfball (it is beyond Explainer's capacity to explain korfball Since the IOC wants to keep the number of athletes to the current 10,000 (!), it also helps if a sport has telegenic participants, which may be why triathlon made it from recognized international federation to medal sport in a swift 11 years, and bowling, recognized since 1979, languishes.

Titles Background on World Tenpin Bowling Association and FIQ tournaments FIQ is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the world governing body for the sport of Tenpin Bowling. The FIQ has member federations located in all five Olympic Zones (continents) divided into three geographical zones Asian American , and European that holds its own Zone Amateur Championships. The FIQ conducts a global quadrennial tournament – FIQ World Tenpin Bowling championships whose playing rules and format is also adopted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for various bowling tournaments in most multi-nation and multi-sports events like the Pan American Games, Asian Games, East Asian Games, and Southeast Asian Games. Since bowling has yet to become an Olympic Sport, the FIQ World championship serves the purpose whereas each country sends a delegation of athletes and officials to participate in 12 disciplines (The World Games - the only other global quadrennial bowling tournament organized by the IOC for non-Olympic sports does not use the FIQ format. It is limited to two disciplines represented by one male and one female from each member nation)

Search RP bats for bowling inclusion in Olympics By Marc Anthony Reyes Inquirer News Service THE PHILIPPINES will lead fresh initiatives for the inclusion of bowling in the Olympic Games starting in the 2008 Beijing Games. World FIQ president Steve Hontiveros said the sport, which placed the Philippines in the world sporting map following a string of triumphs last year, has a big chance of finally making it to the Olympic calendar of events. While the International Olympic Committee has already ruled out adding more events to this year's Summer Games in Athens, Hontiveros said there is a "big possibility that the IOC would open its doors to one or two sports where Asians excel since the next Olympics will be held in China." Hontiveros said the likely candidates are bowling and wushu, a Chinese sport which the country also considers a strong Olympic medal prospect. The Philippines won a gold medal through Arianne Cerdeña when bowling was held as a demonstration sport during the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

It is a sport of skill and wouldn t take a large venue to take place. A number of other countries http://www.cnnsi.com/centurys_best/news/1999/08/03/yourtake_olympicevents/

Your Take What events should be added to the Olympics Click here for more on this story Posted: Tuesday August 03, 1999 01:54 PM Instead of dueling for dollars, most users feel Tiger Woods and David Duval could play each other for Olympic gold. AP CNN/SI asked users what events they would like to see added to the Summer and Winter Olympics. Many of you thought a good start would be the addition of golf. Have a four-round Olympic golf tournament. The top 100 rated players in the world would participate. To make it attractive to the players, the winner would receive a five-year exemption for all four majors. Bob Shiffrar Boston, MA Does it really matter? Adding events to the Olympics simply adds to the pile of events NBC wouldn't dare televise for fear of offending the purported gymnastics/track/ice-skating loving masses. Heaven forbid people are exposed to something new, different, and potentially interesting. Brian Grivna Minneapolis, MN There is one sport I believe has the proper global exposure and is not gender specific that should be added. Although the entire world is not invited, one of the most compelling events going is the Ryder cup. You could have both team and individual events in Golf. How about Tiger Woods versus Paul Lawrie for the gold medal? Or Team Sweden taking on Team Canada for the women's team gold? It's been a long time since 1904. Casey Jones Edmonton, Alberta
