The new sports are a whole new conversation. Just to clarify: my problem is solely with removing competitive events and/or adding senseless events (either mixed team stuff or events that are way too 'young' yet and should be added after having had time to grow up). I'm not against having more women or something 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!

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted July 18, 2018 #112 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I’m really sad that they choose to further exclude smaller nations, and refuse to add team sports in order to make room for mixed events. “Sport has the power to change the world.

intoronto 4,071 Posted July 18, 2018 #113 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If this is bad, I cannot wait to see the reaction of the 2026 program. Women's hockey +46 (two more teams to make it equal) Nordic combined +25 (estimate) for women Where will the cuts come from!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,417 Posted July 18, 2018 #115 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I’m really starting to like the inclusion of the monobob because I’ve always wanted to see a driver centric event Jur and heywoodu 2 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Plus, no way hockey needs 20+ players per team... and here comes out your poor knowledge of the game (and the fact that you've never tried to play it in an organized situation)...

So much for @heywoodu's statement about Gisin being Olympic champion for all times. I'm quite happy that they didn't go for that parallel/city/boring event and whatnot. FIS says that either Alpine Combined or Parallel Slalom will be included. Decision will be made by November. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
