This is good news for Muay Thai. Still I doubt very much that the sport will gain Olympic status. It may however be given a demonstration status, just like wushu is in the Beijing/China games.
To be let in on a permanent basis is something quite different, all the time the IOC is trying to cut down on the number of sports in the Olympics.
Story:
Muay Thai got the nod of approval from the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) yesterday, becoming an international sport like soccer and tennis and getting a good chance of being included in future Olympics.
