Could
Bowling be out of the Pan American Games in Brazil in 2007?
Bowling is one of the seven non-Olympic sports in the Pan American
Games. Information received, says that Brazil would like to
eliminate three of those seven and replace them with three new
sports. Bowling may well be one of the three that will be
out of the games, replaced by beach volleyball or some such.
Brazil, being the host country,
reportedly is pushing for the replacement of Bowling, a sport that
they did not medal in in the previous Games. A meeting of
the Pan American committee will take place in April to decide
which games may remain and which may be replaced. From
reports, it does not look good for our sport. |
