Olympic Skateboarding?

While this is a bit of old news I never posted it here so I figure now is as good a time as any... IOC announced that it is considering adding Skateboarding to the line up of games in 2012.
From ESPN:

"The International Olympic Committee said Friday it has held discussions with cycling's world governing body about introducing skateboarding as a discipline for the London program. Skateboarding events are part of the X Games, and the IOC is eager to modernize the Olympic program with sports and disciplines that appeal to youth. It has already added snowboarding to the Winter Games and BMX cycling for next year's Beijing Olympics."

The article even suggests that Shaun White could make his way into the summer games if such a thing were to happen.
