    The criteria a sport must have in order to be included on the Olympic program:

    a summer sport must fulfill, amongst others, the following conditions:
    – it must be widely practiced (by men, in 75 countries on four continents
    by women, in 40 countries and on three continents)
    – the World Anti-doping Code must be applied
    – it must not rely on mechanical propulsion (such as a motor)

    Today, a winter sport must be widely practiced in at least 25 countries and on three continents in order to be included on the program. No distinction is made between men and women’s events.
