Will Judo be pulled from the 2008 summer Olympic games in Beijing?

Nope.





I don%26#039;t know of Judoka%26#039;s bowing out, as far as I know the Olympic Team Trials aren%26#039;t until June, so the team isn%26#039;t even formed yet.





There are plenty of favorites, but as usual there are usually some upsets at the Trials.





As far as I know, no top 3 or 5 Judokas are bowing out of the trials in protest. But no Judo isn%26#039;t pulled from the 08 Olympic Games, and isn%26#039;t slated to be pulled from any future Olympic Games as far as I am aware of.|||No. No games will be removed from the 2008 games.





Decisions on whether or not sports will be added or removed are made several years before the games in question. For example, Baseball and Softball were removed from the 2012 games, and will be considered for inclusion in the 2016 games (along with all the other sports on the IOC list) next year at the IOC meetings.|||I don%26#039;t believe so, they are even considering adding karate.
