The IOC are in Copenhagen, and will be deciding on whether rugby sevens will be part of the Olympics in 2016. The executive board has already recommended its inclusion.

Ruby sevens representatives will be giving a presentation on Friday before the final vote. Each sport is allowed 20 minutes.

Rugby sevens and golf are the key sports that expect to gain inclusion. But nobody is complacent.
Rugby (in its full 15-a-side) version was a Olympics sport between 1900 and 1924.

It will be great to see it's younger version of sevens in the Olympics in 2016.
