Hey,

Thanks for the information; I didn't realize the criteria were so stringent.

I'm sure it's still a long ways off before we're ready for serious Olympic consideration, but I do feel pretty good about our eventually getting to that point given the new leadership we've hired.

Olympic sports must "be widely practised by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents and by women in at least 40 countries and on three continents". Ultimate really isn't close here. Also, I think the IOC is unlikely to want another team sport that the US always wins. I think you're underestimating just how big a hurdle Olympics inclusion is.
