it's that competing in the sport would be economically out of reach for much of the world.
I don't know anything about 'high end' bowling, but I cannot see how it could be any more expensive than many other sports at the Olympics.
- boomboomsubban 2y agoMy local bowling alley charges $25 an hour to rent a lane. Practicing 20 hours a week makes it $2000 a month. Admittedly, they probably have strong discounts for someone bowling that much, but that's only the price for a beginners practice spot. Winter sports and some older competitions probably match that, but I think they try to be more aware of that for summer sports. Compare it to another recent addition, skateboarding. One of the competitor's (medalist I think?) family went without electricity for a month to afford her first board, but after that it with some luck it was affordable enough to get her to the Olympics.
