Who knew that France requires break spinning, bike juggling and surfing in the Pacific Ocean to bring interest in the country. The IOC should really think of their marketing strategy, otherwise the Games could run unnoticed in France.
Literally anyone who knows anything about French sports. These sports do fantastic in France. Breakdancing, Surfing, BMX Freestyle all generally draw great audiences in France.

I think coastal rowing maybe approved as a one off... Though they would have to agree to move to Tahiti... The current proposal has it being staged in Marseille
If Surfing, Sailing, Coastal Rowing, and Beach Volleyball were in Tahiti...I’d fly there in a minute for the Olympics.

looks funny. ok I am for that coastal rowing thing also for the 50k W RW without removing the male event obviously. Reintroducing C2 in canoe salom and kick out that kayak-cross BS back to the oblivion. + canoe sprint should return to the previous program with K4-1000m and finally I can live also with the mixed skeet and table tennis M and W doubles
I´d personally love to see Floorball and Squash added to the games
There’s really no good argument for why Squash isn’t already on the Olympic program.
Karate really should be a core sport as well.
Floorball has a lot more development needed, but it could be a great candidate one day.

Ocean Rowing is rejected? Suggested replacing Lightweight events.
