| Hello fellow Tungsten Throwers,
We are trying to make a case for the IOC to make Darts and Olympic Sport by 2024. A long time to go yet, I know. We are just starting our campaign at the minute, but could really do with all of your support. Our website is currently under construction and could do with a hand getting some momentum to show Barry Hearn what we are made of, so we can get him on side.
Our Twitter is @ODM180 and Facebook page is Olympic Darts Movement.
Cheers Everyone! |

Great idea Jordan. I would love to see darts in the Olympics. Are you focusing on steel tip or soft tip, or maybe both?
With wrestling ( the original sport of the Olympics ) being took out in 2020 it will be very difficult getting darts in but we can do no more than try. Best of luck.

| We would have purely steel tips. Terry Jenkins and Andy 'The Pie Man' Smith are following us and are part of our campaign. It'd be great if we can take a load of names to the PDC, IOC and BDO and get their support behind us. The sky is the limit as far as we are concerned.

| It's part of our thinking as well, we purely need a few numbers backing at first for the PDC to consider us. We need to get numbers before anyone take us seriously |
