Making Beyblades an Olympic Sport

Making Beyblades an Olympic Sport

According to the IOC regulations, Beyblade meets all the requirements to become recognized as an Olympic sport AND be a competitive event at the games. In the case for a men's Olympic Beyblade, the sport is managed by the international non-governmental WBBA (World Beyblade Battle Association) with robust communities in nations within the required minimum of 75 countries across 4 continents: North America, Europe, Australia, and its mother Asia. Logically, having met the requirements for a men's event, a women's Beyblade event will follow suit with all the competitive viability of the men's division.
The sport itself has worldwide appeal and captures the same elegance as the original Olympic events of discus, javelin, shot put, and so on. Spinning tops has an international appeal among children worldwide, it already bridges cultures. Though Beyblade is the crystallization of these ideals. Bladers need raw strength to achieve massive attacks and rip speeds. Though they need precision skill and technique to accurately launch their Beys into the stadium. Their form must be beautiful as their tops trace magnificent revolution patterns into the viewers' eyes. Finally, Olympic-class Beybladers need the skills of the mind to choose the best Beyblade parts to construct the best customized blades and learn the perfect launch techniques to outmaneuver their opponents.
Unbelievable depth in a sport that is easy to learn yet hard to master, easy enough for a child to understand, and practiced on a global scale. I urge Takara-Tomy and Hasbro to petition the IOC for a men's and women's Beyblade division at the next Olympic Games. Let it rip
