One thing that strikes me is that the Olympics used to be way more "Country Club" - which makes a lot of sense since it was highly influenced at the beginning by European gentry.
For example:
Croquet (funny picture:

Golf
Rugby
and Polo
all used to be in the Olympics. Rugby is considered a front-runner to return in some form, though.
