there can be various proposals ofcourse on olympic program but what i cant understand for one specific sport (Modern Pentathlon) is why IOC hasnt added at least 2 events more (team or relay) since we talk about a sport that demands too many facilities (at least 3) in contrast with the number of set of medals it offers (2)  and the duration it lasts (2 days) ..And it isnt also a sport of big importance regarding its attendance, no matter how impressive are the pentathletes. I could say metaphorically that its a sport with the least "VFM"

The shock diving gold in 2004 and Ilias Iliadis winning gold in 2004 are my top moments.
