usally they taken in a sport like that and later make it as a medal sport

Edit...since 1992 there has never been any demonstration sport..think chess is not there in 2008 and will debut in 2012

They generally have a gash "demonstration" sport or two (sometimes at the behest of the host nation), don't they? I seem to recall Pelotta (sp?) at Barcelona & sheep-shearing at Sydney.

Same dealy with chess I'd guess.

But why? You can't infer about the interest a "sport" would have with olympic medals at stake by analysing the interest it has when it doesn't mean a thing. And who needs a demostration to know what chess looks like anyway?

Think that's more of a question for Jacques Rogge, tbh.

All I remembered about the 99 RWC was Aus-France final, and that we played South Africa, I thought we played them in the 3rd place match, on reflection it may have been a quarter-final, as I doubt Brumby would get a RWC question wrong, I remember watching it in a boozer in Cyprus, it was a bad week of sport as the mighty whites threw away a two-goal lead to table-topping Charlton to lose 3-2

We lost in the quarters. Janie de Beer kicked five drop goals against us. If memory serves Oz then beat the yarps 27-21 in the semi thanks to the first drop goal Bernie Larkham ever scored in first grade rugby.

NZ famously choked aganist France in the other semi. :cool:
