Nobody really says that though, and definitely nobody wants that
Fact is, however, that more and more 'traditional' venues will leave the calendar because we as humanity as fucking up the climate.
I actually think the WDSF did a reasonably good job running the Olympic event (like whatever people think of breaking, the actual breaking competition was well run).
But there is definitively a lot of incompetence when it comes to how that federation runs breaking in general. Which is why I think you see most athletes not engage with WDSF events outside of when they had to qualify for the Olympics.

Italy will replace the Czech Republic
those who say that in the future, due to global warming and lack of snow, all sports at the Winter Olympics will have to be held indoors. Do you even think about what you are talking about? The FIS Cross-Country World Cup distances are 20 km skiathlon and 50 km mass start. Is there even a facility in the world that can host 20 and 50 km races? Is it possible? Well, let's imagine that such a facility was built somewhere in Paris and Monaco. Les Rousses spent so much money on building the tracks and infrastructure and then kicked it out of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup because Paris and Monaco, which have more money came to the FIS Cross-Country World Cup. Places like Les Rousses would simply go bankrupt trying to popularize the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, do we really need that?
Ah good, was wondering what the relationship of Endurance Rowing was to Coastal Rowing. They're wimping out a bit holding it at Genoa though, would prefer somewhere a bit more storm-tossed.
Thanks @phelps for gathering information
but World Skate is an Olympic federation now, yet they can't provide a basic result system for their main event.
OK I'm not asking for a live score system, but how hard it is to post results in PDF after each event ?
not talking about the sport but this IF doesn't deserve to be in the Olympics.
