WORLD BOWLING FOCUSES
ON OLYMPIC QUEST BEYOND
2020
Following the announcement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic
Committee (TOC) this morning, World Bowling is saddened
to announce that the sport of bowling has not been recom-
mended for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Although this is a big disappointment, World Bowling fully
respects the TOC’s decision and believes that bowling’s time
to join the Olympic Movement will come sooner rather than later. The process under-
gone over the past few months was valuable and tangible recommendations will be
taken away to strengthen the sport of bowling in the future.
President Kevin Dornberger (pictured above third from left) said ―It was a great op-
portunity to have been considered as one of the final eight sports from the initial list of
26. For World Bowling this remains a huge milestone in pursuing our Olympic quest
and we believe that this has laid the foundations for a brighter future ahead.
The process has made our sport grow stronger and we have learned some invalu-
able lessons from working on our campaign. While we may not have been successful
this time, we will continue to develop our sport worldwide. As part of our Bowling
World Plan, we have many initiatives still to be implemented such as fostering and
encouraging the development of youth participation, especially for girls. We strongly
believe that this will result in increasing the worldwide recognition of our sport. The
brightest days of bowling are ahead of us!‖
Along this journey World Bowling has received so much support from fans, athletes.
This outpour of support has strengthened the bowling community and inspired new
generations of athletes. We would like to thank all of the supporters for their commit-
ment to the sport of bowling and of course we thank the TOC and wish them the very
best for what we are certain will be excellent Olympic Games in 2020.
World Bowling will be welcoming a number of exciting events in the coming years
including the Women’s World Championships in Abu Dhabi in 2015 and the 2016
World Youth Championships and 2016 World Singles Championships.
