LuizGuilherme 201 Posted December 9, 2021 #13 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'm sure Brazil influenced these changes. The audience for surfing and especially for skating here was huge during the Olympics, our athletes are superstars and are loved all over the country.

So I guess perspective hosts should get their colonies first. And quickly. phelps, Gianlu33, NearPup and 1 other 4 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted December 9, 2021 #18 Share Posted December 9, 2021 It should be noted that weightlifting had 24 medalling nations in Tokyo, while boxing had 25. The list of nations included the likes of . Surfing, and especially skaterboarding, are not exactly... diverse. Although diversity only really counts in certain situations. Anyways, I am not exactly sad for boxing/weightlifting (for IOC/AIBA and IWF, rather), but still I don't see these sports as deserving replacements. It's not like the universality was only lacking in medals, it was also very much lacking in participation. Makedonas 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the universality was only lacking in medals, it was also very much lacking in participation. In regards to universality, it is a shame that Karate wasn’t added as a core sport. It could have replaced boxing as another combat sport too. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
