You might be right - are you suggesting though that an exhibition sport cant appear at two consecutive olympics?
I wonder if Ma Jong is an exhibition sport ?

Nah not suggesting appearance at two Olympics...I couldn't remember if BMX was at Athens...if it was then wouldn't be new.
Had a quick look on Wiki and haven't found exhibition sports but this is what it says about sports at the 2008 Games...

The program for the Beijing 2008 Games is quite similar to that of the Athens Games held in 2004. The 2008 Olympics will see the return of 28 sports, and will hold 302 events (165 men’s events, 127 women’s events, and 10 mixed events), one event more in total than in Athens.
Overall 9 new events will be held, which include 2 from the new cycling discipline of BMX. Women will compete in the 3000 m steeplechase for the first time. In addition, marathon swimming events for men and women, over the distance of 10 kilometres, will be added to the swimming discipline. Team events (men and women) in table tennis will replace the doubles events. In fencing, women's team foil and women's team sabre will replace men's team foil and women's team epee.

BMX is an official sport this time around.
