   .. is bowling really a sport? bowling, like many olympic sports,does have tremendous participation at the recreational level.

   Extractions: Olympic Quest Frequently Asked Questions What is "Strike Gold?" "Strike Gold" is the marketing theme created by FIQ to characterize the quest for Bowling's inclusion into the Olympics. Under the umbrella of "Strike Gold," the FIQ and its member federations will undertake opportunities to maximize the recognition of Bowling as a potential Olympic sport. This website is one such opportunity. Why should Bowling be included in the Olympic programme? Bowling is among the largest participatory sports in the world. Bowling is contested on all five continents. There are 110 recognized member federations of the FIQ. Because of this tremendous participation, Bowling has an unparalleled yet untapped grassroots following. One of the goals of the International Olympic Committee is the widest possible promotion of the Olympic ideals. Bowling can help bring the Olympic ideal to millions of people worldwide. It will also offer significant potential for future marketing income. Other important factors to consider: Gender equity is important to the IOC—46 percent of Bowling's participants are women. On equal playing conditions, men and women are evenly matched. The only other sport where that has happened is Equestrian.

   Extractions: Click here to get the Daily Briefing in your inbox 10/30/2001 - Updated 11:49 AM ET Inside bowling Bowling's three hurdles to gain respect Let's get real. What is it about bowling that allows people to dismiss it? Why isn't it considered a "real" sport? Why isn't the PBA Tour regularly reported on SportsCenter and in national sports publications? Why is the status of PBA Tour-event sponsorships so dismal? Why is there a glaring lack of high-profile advertising on the televised weekly finals? Why do people laugh at the mere mention of the word "bowling?" The reasons for the disrespect of professional bowling lie in elitist arrogance and an overall ignorance fueled in part by the bowling industry's own missteps over the years. The sad thing is, people in the media and corporate power positions who aren't taking advantage of bowling don't know what they are missing. They are thumbing their noses at a dramatic professional competition and an industry that generates more than $10 billion a year for the American economy.

    Extractions: Bowling rd century AD, when German peasants who enjoyed the sport carried a club known as the kegel, not unlike the Irish shillelagh, for protection. Over time, wooden balls replaced stones and pins were substituted for the kegel. The Dutch developed bowling. By 1650 the sport encompassed nine pins set in a diamond pattern toward the end of a 90-foot lane (track). Tenpin bowling, which features a 60-foot lane and pins set in a triangle pattern, is believed to have derived from the Dutch version. Scoring for strikes and spares came about during the mid-century when heavier bottle-shaped pins replaced the earlier tall and slender version. Bowling is free of drug and substance abuse. Scoring, based 100% on athletic performance, is objective and non-controversial. It is gender equal (49% female). Since lack of height, speed or strength is no handicap to highest scoring, bowlers from all corners of the globe compete equitably for championships and medals. Bowling and Athleticism: During an elite-level tournament, a bowler must possess the physical and mental attributes to consistently deliver a seven kilogram ball about 900 times in three days. A successful deliver requires that the ball must be released within one centimeter of a chosen mark and strike a four centimeter target 18.3 meters away. Championship performance often requires medal winners to do this more than 90% of the time.

    Extractions: Bowling is an Olympic-level, accuracy-based sport according to a comprehensive study recently completed by Dr. Ben Johnson, former Director, Center for Sports Medicine, Science and Technology at Georgia State University. The study, commissioned by the Fédération Internationale des Quilleurs, concludes that “bowling is not unlike archery, shooting, baseball/softball pitching or other accuracy based sports,” and “much like tennis, running, equestrian, table tennis, basketball, as well as many other Olympic sports, those who participate for social, recreation or health/fitness reasons do so at a level far below the Olympic high performance standard.” Analyzing data from a study of 14 bowlers of varying ability, Dr. Johnson determined that “elite bowlers possess extraordinary mental skills, concentration and intensity of focus.” He measured their technique, flexibility and strength under competitive conditions with a multi-camera biomechanical motion analysis system to determine their respective bowling technique 3D kinematics.
