A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Billiards Flash: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936.

The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
