They need to allow pros otherwise it'll just be a big crock of shit like boxing, judo, taekwando, baseball, etc are. If you're not good enough to get paid in a professional sport then why would anybody want to watch you?

Jumping is covered by running yes. It's just running as fast as you can then being in the airfor a couple of seconds.

aren't pros allowed? I know for a fact that many of the athletes are filthy rich because of what they do. define "pro".

Cycling is just running on wheels, right?

Who are the jingoistic assholes on 4chan who care so much about their own country / other countries? They can't all be trolls. I am American, and I couldn't give a shit when I watch an Olympic event who wins (if anything, I will hope for an upset of the favorite.)

Running
Fighting
Lifting
Throwing

Running - Lifting and throwing self in a horizontal direction. See Throwing
Fighting - Mostly throwing own limbs/other people. Also some running involved. See Running and Throwing
Throwing - lifting, then lifting in a horizontal direction and releasing
Lifting - The ONLY sport

dancing is lifting yourself rhythmically.
Getting a ball between two sticks involves some form of throwing, which is just a specialized type of lifting in the horizontal direction.

Olympic games must promote usefull sport for life and war, just as the ancient Olympic Games.

Fighting, shooting, running, swiming...

And we need to combined these sports, specialisation have no sense.
