http://www.insidethegames.biz/artic...ovisionally-recognised-by-ioc-executive-board Haven't read the article yet. I wonder if they will recognise shin pads? Also respectfully request that you change the Thai boxing forums name to "Muay Thai". You'll get more bits when people Google "muay thai forum" and also I feel it's more inclusive for Muay Boran if anyone ever starts a thread on it. I also wouldn't be opposed to the forum being called "Muay Thai/K-1" for things like GLORY.
I like it. ! I wonder if the Thais themselves would be banned from entering the Olympics?. IOC: Sorry but amateurs only Muayfolk: Yes. Only 200 fights. IOC: 200?? Muayfolk: Yes, I am 10 years old.
We've done a check and it seems Thai Boxing actually yields the best search results. Seems those outside the sport actually use the term Thai Boxing as their search term.
After the recent Olympics which allowed professional boxers to enter, they probably will. Whether its fair or not is a different question.
