[edit] Sombo

It doesn't look like ths page gets much traffic, but here goes anyway. Does anybody have any background information on Sombo being in the 1980 Olympics? I looked at the official reports and it didn't even mention Sombo at all. There is only one site that says Sombo was competed at these games. Does anybody have any other references to back up this claim? Perakhantu 16:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acrobatic Gymnastics

"Acrobatic Gymnastics was a demonstration sport at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney." from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_acrobatics Here it says that there were no demonstration sports at Sydney.CJHung 10:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The Acrobatics article is mistaken. There have been no official demonstration sports since 1992. The official reports from each Games are the reference for this. Perhaps there was an unofficial exhibition held in Sydney at the same time that the Games were on, but it was not supported by SOCOG and was not part of the Olympic program as a demonstration sport as defined by this article.
