I don't think that speedball should be in the Olympics because its not a real sport. Its like airsoft, I love it to death, but neither will make it to the Olympics. While paintball may be a fun pass time, it doesn't really involve much physical activity. Sure you run around a bit, but ultimately you're just shooting at stuff. Any chump with a few hundred bucks can buy a paintball gun and shoot at stuff. By that same token, any chump could go out an buy skis for a few hundred bucks and ski, but theres a difference; it takes years of intense practice and training to become an Olympic level athlete, where as a few lucky shots with a paintball gun and you win a medal? I don't think it would work out. Its just not at the caliber of sports that the Olympics include...
