Olympics, here we come!

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) has been officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This means that ultimate can get IOC funding and can compete with other sports for inclusion in future Olympic games.

“This is an incredible milestone in the 30 year history of WFDF and a further important step for our International Federation in the development of our sport worldwide,” WFDF President Robert “Nob” Rauch said in a statement. “Today’s decision will give a further boost to our efforts to increasing the presence of Flying Disc sports in all countries and on all continents.”
