Waterskiing was a demonstration sport at the 1972 München Olympics. The sport is governed by the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF), which was formed in 1946, and is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). As of January 2026, the organization has 96 member federations.
It was thought that waterskiing might possibly be added to the Olympic Programme for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athinai, but that was voted down by the Executive Board in December 2000.
Despite never being included in the Olympic Programme, waterskiing was contested as an official sport at the World Games from its 1981 inaugural edition until 2022. Currently, other disciplines governed by the IWWF are still contested at the World Games, and the presence of the sport in this competition has grown in recent years.
