Only the best players of ANY sport make it to the Olympics. Case closed.There is one very, very, very large flaw. Only a set number of people can make it to the olympics, right. I thought cubing was for everyone, not just guys like Mitchell Stern, Rowe Hessler, Jason Baum, Sam Boyles, Dan Cohen, Gavin Nelson, Ryan Patricio, Tim Reynolds, just to name a few. Personally i would like cubing to stay open to everyone, not just the Kobe Bryant's or Lebron James's of speedcubing.
Seems obvious to me that he's only listing New England area cubers. Have you even ever been over here?like Mitchell Stern, Rowe Hessler, Jason Baum, Sam Boyles, Dan Cohen, Gavin Nelson, Ryan Patricio, Tim Reynolds, just to name a few.

Hah. If that were a reason, they should toss out gymnastics, diving, etc.Even if this would be cool, it will never happen. IMO, getting the world record would be way to based on luck, while other events are more based on skill.
Type in WCA (all caps) into google. 4th result.(Firefox is telling me there is no such thing as the WCA! no I did not misspell that!!!)
srry but i dont think playing with a little piece of plastic is considered sport lol.
fun hobby, but its not sport
I was going to post what was pretty much the exact argument, but now I don't have to.Well, with chess, the international olympic committee officially recognizes it as a sport, and there is a very legitimate chance it will one day be in the olympics, as the main problem when it was denied was that it was difficult to distinguish between professional and amateur players, so if chess would be allowed, a "sport" involving almost zero physical endurance, then certainly speedcubing could make a case. Although, i don't thing either of these should be in the olympics, although chess is the greatest game ever played in my opinion, it doesn't belong in the olympics, similar to speedcubing and other things like equestrian, which is in the olympics.
Yu nakajima would totally get all the gold medals lah...

Chinese Chess is the greatest game ever invented, lol.
And also, Rubik's cubes popularity died down in the eighties, so who is to say that speedcubing won't be a thing of the past in a few years?
