Bowling refers to a series of sports or leisure activities in which a player rolls or throws a bowling ball towards a target. It is one of the major forms of throwing sports. In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane. In target variations, the aim is usually to get the ball as close to a mark as possible.
Perhaps that misnomer will change if an active committee succeeds in making bowling an Olympic sport. The best evidence it should be in the Games is this month's AMF Bowling World Cup in Pattaya, Thailand, featuring representatives of 92 countries. They all know it's a sport. Further proof comes from last week's PBA Tour Greater Detroit Open finals on ESPN.
