Why does the IOC limit the number of sporting events (disciplines)?

August 22nd, 2010

I have been trying to figure out why the IOC limits the number of generous disciplines to be featured in the Olympics. I read their charter and it doesn’t give reasons for their reasoning behind it, just that they do it and that’s that. While there are many different events included in certain events (i.e. beach volleyball and indoor volleyball are painstaking one discipline; swimming, diving and water polo all fall under the aquatics category), it is silly that baseball and softball are going to have to fight to get their position in the Olympics back in 2012 against the likes of Rugby, Golf, and Karate. So I want to know why everyone can’t join if they meet the required criteria?
