Drive for Muay Thai in The Olympics |
Various, IFMA spearheads. |

As it's global popularity develops, a case for its inclusion in the Olympics grows ever more convincing and there is a possibility it will make its debut in 2024. While it's likely the International Olympic Committee will demand an "evolution" in the scoring and use of techniques (e.g. discouraging prolonged clinching), the Olympics would prove an epic moment in the history of Muay Thai. |
