I don't how to clearly define what is "worthy" to be in the Olympics or not. But do think some key criteria are (1) does it make you exert a lot of energy (2) is there an element of danger, and (3) asking the question "would the Greeks way back when have laughed at the idea".

I started questioning skateboarding' worthiness when a fall sent one of the skater's phone go skittering out of their pocket and across the concrete during a fall. I declared that t can't really be an Olympic event if you're carrying your phone. My daughter countered with golf, and I really didn't have a response.
