    And thank fuck for that. Its nice to watch two quality fighters treat each other with the respect they deserve before, during and after a fight. No mouthing off, no corrupt promoters, just good old fashioned boxing.

    Most professional footballers can't compete in the Olympics either.

    Karate

    Chugger dodging is also a good idea, get people to move from one end of shop street in Galway to the other without people asking them for money. Need a mix of speed, stealth and intelligence.

    If walking qualifies as an Olympic sport then so should eating.

    i honestly think wankin should be an olympic sport

    you could have...

    speed wankin...the first to cum wins
    shoot wankin....the one who fires his load furthest wins
    and endurance wankin....the one who **** the longest whilst holding their load in wins

    AH answer .. if the rest of the world saw those two games being played , they'd be stunned into silence with the sheer savagery on display.

    Real answer ' cause no other country plays these sports.

    '
    I took the liberty of looking at that bastion of information 'Wikipedia' , like yourself and found that hurling no longer played in South Africa or Argentina

    Australia and New Zealand play in a combined federation.

    Northern Ireland teams in GAA ? yes they've been there awhile.

    The event in 1904 was an unofficial exhibition match , hardly an Olympic event.

    With regard to the USA, as our colleague Fry Up said, its most likely played by Irish Expats.

    Thanks to all in Wikipedia.:)
