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

 

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 :p [+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 :p [+6/8]

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

 

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 :d 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..... :p

 

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). :p

Juste maintenant , Quasit a déclaré:

 

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 :p

    • I didn't this year. But the Summer Grand Prix is like Formula 3 to Winter Ski-Jumping being the F1  I mean Zografski of all people won the Grand Prix last summer, which says it all.

    • Stage 3 in Gurgl (AUT)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Clement Noel    1:46.25 2. Kristoffer Jakobsen    1:46.68 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.69   Full Final Results HERE

    • The squad was reserve, but that's a disgrace. Apart from Favaretto, there's no generational change. Without Volpi and Errigo, we're very weak. After Paris, it was already clear that the USA had clearly overtaken us. Cerioni isn`t the miracle worker he once seemed.
    • Italian women's foil team, with Errigo and Favaretto, lost against Ukraine in quarterfinals 
    • This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Clement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress and we? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke. 
    • Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.
    • Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.
    • I take it you haven’t been following along with the Summer Grand Prix? Frantz won bronze in Wisla back in September, not that surprising.
