Why is deadlift not in Olympics?
It's complicated. Powerlifting is a young sport (60s) and since then the Olympics have not been looking for more sports to add. They have been trying to cut them down and they already have Weightlifting. Weightlifting has been rife with drug use and the IOC isn't looking for more drug controversy.
