Ultimate frisbee is officially a sport

Kevin Beirne

It looks like your college roommate was right: ultimate frisbee is a sport.

At least that’s the opinion of the International Olympic Committee, who have decided to officially recognise the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF).

The WFDF manages multiple disc-based games – such as ultimate frisbee and disc golf. Much like regular golf, WFDF games do not have a referee as they rely on the sportsmanship and fair play of the players.

But no, this doesn’t mean that ultimate frisbee is an Olympic sport (yet).
