Literally taking away dozens of quota from certain sports, the forced, politically correct addition of mixed events everywhere (even a 4x400m in athletics, come on, that whole event is not even a 'thing' in professional athletes), three (!) more events on the overloaded swimming programme instead of cutting some events to make place for others. Those are the worst parts in my opiniion. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

E: Ah, nevermind. It's above mine now. Edited June 9, 2017 by Quasit Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted June 9, 2017 #425 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I guess that (sadly) water polo will be played with teams of 6 players very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes to show you how dumb these people are. Only disappointing for sycronized swimming is that they didn't add the mixed duet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politically correct or not, women's sports are as globally developed as their men's counterpart (though with these additions, that should hopefully change?)

That would allow for each water polo team to have one additional athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely nothing against the same number of men and women of course, but why not give certain women's events time to become 'a thing' first? And the mixed stuff is even worse, who on earth cares about the 4x400m mixed relay And come on, be a decent freestyle swimmer and you can win 4 Olymic golds without ever going less than 200 meters. It's just so stupid.
