With the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recently announcing its shortlist of sports vying for inclusion in the 2020 Summer Olympics, SportsPro is conducting a poll asking its readers which one of the eight contenders will be added to the program for the 32nd Olympiad?

Obviously, wakeboarding is on the list or this article would seem a bit silly. I'm not sure if they're talking about cable wakeboarding or behind the boat wakeboarding, but either way it would be interesting to see it at the Olympics. As of this writing, wakeboarding stands at second place (28%) in the voting, second only to softball (42%). The other sports they are considering are baseball, squash, sport climbing, roller sports, karate and wushu.
