Demonstration Sports at the Olympic Games
Currently, Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Vancouver 2010 are yet to hold their games.
Until 1992, the Olympics also often featured demonstration sports. The objective was for these sports to reach a larger audience; the winners of these events are not official Olympic champions. These sports were sometimes sports popular only in the host nation, but internationally known sports have also been demonstrated. Some demonstration sports eventually were included as full-medal events. In the 2008 Olympic Games, there is actually going to be a BMX event as part of the Cycling events.
