Diving - Remove china for unfairness    ok no, but the lack of competition is really frustrating 

 

 

Says you from the country always winning the medal table thanks to swimming.

I'm all about more events so I'm ready for people disagreeing with my "utopic" proposals.

 

Archery: mixed team [+1]

Athletics: 4x800m or 4x1500m relay [+2]

Canoeing (Sprint): two women's C events and men's/women's K-1 5000m [+4]

Canoeing (Slalom): men's C-2 stays, 2 out of 3 team events (women's K-1, men's K-1, men's C-1) [+2]

Cycling (Track): keirin goes in exchange for 500m/1000m time trials and men's madison [-2 +3]

Equestrian: out with dressage [-2]

Fencing: full programme with all teams [+2]

Football: I like LDOG's proposal of men's futsal and women's football [+-0]

Gymnastics (Trampoline): synchronised events [+2]

Modern Pentathlon: mixed team relay [+1]

Shooting: a men's 300m rifle event and 10m running target for both (also, what ever happened to women's double trap?): [+3]

Swimming: mixed 4x100m relay [+1]

Table Tennis: doubles instead of team [+-0]

Taekwondo: at least one more category for both [+2]

Triathlon: mixed team [+1]

 

New sports not being introduced for Tokyo:

 

Air Sports: whatever Bearas would suggest [+2]

Boules: pétanque singles [2]

Inline Speed Skating: various distances, road only (and I don't care about speed skating already being at the Winter Games) [+6/8]

Orienteering: middle, sprint relay [+4]

Squash: singles [+2]

Wushu: taolu only, I know some would really hate this sport at the OG [+6/8]

So should the rest catch up in swimming since it's one of the core sports to begin with.

 

Congrats though, amazing overall performance once again.

I will summarise this topic for everyone:

 

My country sucks at this sport or i have no interest in it -> remove said sport from the Olympics

My country is good at this sport or i have interest in it -> expand this sport into more categories and athletes/matches

Thank You  and definitely big congrats to Team GB (Always a soft spot for me since i love london so much) Couldn't you spare one medal and allow Sarah Hammer to win finally? sigh.....

 

The world really should catch up, though i enjoy that kind of performance in the core sports Swimming, Track and Field, Women Gymanstics. I don't think i sang the Star Spangled Banner so much in my life!

Haha, well your swimmers didn't spare one gold to Laszlo Cseh either (although this year Schooling beat everyone in 100m Butterfly).

Yes, precision is also good. Chances for Cambodia and Madagascar, and of course France.

Yea, but still, I think it's the first time i see a non-french person genuinely calling for pétanque's introduction
