Probably no.
If they do put it in, they'd have to have other, more skilled, dancing categories in there first.
I know it can be competitive, that there are routines and it takes physical skill but is it a sport?
There again, they have synchronised swimming.

NO- Not cheerleading only the USA offers this as a sport activity. Dance Sport (ball room) is a recognized Olympic Sport it has 86 member nations from all over. You see to be an Olympic sport it has to have a widespread appeal before the IOC will even recognize the sport.
Even Dance sport doesn't have a shot of getting in as their many sports jocking for the last 2 places in the 2016 Olympics. They include squash, rugby sevens (7X7 rugby), karate, softball, tug-war, and even bowling.
Here is an event from the WORLD GAMES Sports Acrobatics it requires some of the same athletic elements as cheerleading. It's a discipline of gymnastics.

No. It's like our American football, other countries besides the U.S. don't have cheerleaders. The Olympics is an international competition, so I don't think the cheerleading thing would go over well in other countries where cheerleading is totally foreign to the people.

I think yes. If they could put in some dance stuff with it like they did in the movie Bring it on (the 1st one). I think like they judge gymnatics on floor they could judge cheerleading on the different areas also. Because hey, tell me it isn't difficult to do a pryimid and all that stuff... Yea, Put it in the Olympics right there with gymnatics. Each has there own place just in a different way.

Is Cheerleading a sport then? Last time I looked at the sporting list it wasnt.
So my answer to your Question is NO.

Nope. It's not really a REAL sport. It's only used during a basketball or a football game. It's not something that's done on it's own.

No. It does take talent, but it is not a "sport"... Do they have ballet as an Olympic sport? Nope. Again, that takes talent, but is not a sport.
