actually cricket was an olympic sport in 1900. great britain beat france for 
the gold. 
 
not been held since though. apparently croquet was held that year too!

also has a list of the various demonstration sports that have appeared at the 
olympics which i'm assuming is what we would be campaigning for.

        Much as I would like to see Ultimate in the Olympics, I think I would
        really love to see the worlds (mainly US) broadcasters/commentators
        forced to try to understand cricket.

        Well the host nation gets to introduce a new sport doesn't it? Maybe we
        should start a campaign to get Ultimate to be the one for 2012?
