Can handball ever become an Olympic sport?

i play handball (1-wall handball) and i was wondering, can it ever become an olympic sport? im sure lots of people out there play it. i live in nyc and its extremely popular here. i play for a team and there are competitions among schools and tournaments during the summer for handball here.





i just feel that the game i love to play deserves more recognition, and hoping it can someday become an olympic sport.|||Its not a very Popular sport but if handball can get really big players who are amazing handball players who Knows|||The skill level and the game probably deserve it; however, it would be difficult to follow on TV although they used to show raquetball. I would doubt it would become an Olympic sport due to the fact that it isn't played as universally as some others. If they put it to a vote; I'd vote for it. It's a great game for stamina, skill and tactic.|||If your talking about the version of Handball where you hit a ball of the wall with your hand no. Reason is this version of handball is just not played in enough countries around the world. Handball is apart of the Gaelic games over in Ireland and mention is made of how Irish immigrants brought the game to USA, Canada and Australia.





Team Handball is apart of the Olympics as an outdoor version played on a field made it's debut Berlin 1936. Indoor version played on a court has been in every Olympics since 1968|||Yeah, I live in nyc too and I do play handball, but I don't think it will become an olympic sport because it is not considered an international sport. It may be popular in New York, but it's not popular in other states.|||I used to play it loads when I was a teenager %26amp; loved it .... had more speed than strength but was fairly good %26amp; got some County medals here in Ireland..It is popular here but not as much so as other Gaelic games so don't think it could become an Olympic Sport but would watch it if did..|||you because no one cares about the sport|||On Mars with the Zorbs!
