Yeah, probably not, but there could be some decent teams nevertheless. In any case, FEI already significally increased number of team quotas by reducing size of the teams from 4 to 3, so with that in mind mixed-NOC teams would be even weirder. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition of composite team is given on the appendix at the last page. Basically a team created because enough individuals from a certain nation have qualified to form a team, we had those in Rio too (now it's slightly different process because nations can qualify only one individual so composite teams are exceptional circumstance). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition between nations is the very basic core of the games, If you even ditch that then it's not the olympic games anymore, other than in name.

OlympicIRL 4,768 Posted September 20, 2017 #535 Share Posted September 20, 2017 If it came to pass then yes this would be the worst ever change to the Olympics to date. Mixed NOC teams, who cares about that So along with urban and youthful they should mention the word mixed, because they like that a LOT! I highly doubt this will happen though.

Not "mixed", diverse nationality team is the correct Agenda 2020 term. You have disobeyed Agenda 2020. You shall be eliminated.

Definitely some people who are just normal sports fans instead of diehard sports fans, and suddenly have someone in a team competition (in one of the likely few teams like this) I still see no way how this is worse than kicking out great events in favour of gender equality pushing mixed events.

I don't know why, but I'm not, instead... however, I'd rather expect Tokyo Bay water to be positive to radioactive substances, too...I hope they're not hiding the truth about it, since after the Fukuyama tragedy they've not been that transparent neither to the scientific community nor the local people... in this kind of situation, it's sad to be said, politicians are the same all over the world... mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
