I lived at Bennett's waterski school through the early 2000s while waterskiing was desperately trying to make it into the olympics. It almost killed the sport entirely and only a decade later is it starting to make a come-back.
Get ready for a world of drug testing, expensive contest equipment, expensive sanctioning fees, and on and on. Oh and points, look forward to that too.
The IOC is a really nasty group. Wakeboarding will have to bend to its will if it wants to really be part of the olympics.
Waterskiing in the end lost to bowling. Why?? Bowling had more $$$.
Sorry for the rant, but this is something I am pretty passionate about...
