Do you really think powerlifting would be better off being in the Olympics? I'm not sure it would help because the Olympics are too diluted with every sport under the Sun. Even getting TV time by NBC to show off the Olympic lifting isn't happening much, just look at the little time they gave to the Super-heavy-weights, only showing 4-lifts. Even Track and Field is having a hard time competing for TV time in the Olympics...did you see the men's discus? men's javelin? any hammer throwing NO! NBC they didn't even show events that go back to the first Olympics and the Greeks.
I think Powerlifting should stay away from the Olympics, NBC doesn't have a clue what sport should get air-time...just look at that game "hand-ball" it's like water-polo with out the water and NBC showed two-hours of that crap, CRIPS!
