Drop the gender equality policy...

first, drop the ipocracy of gender equality...   then, drop entire senseless sports (artistic swimming, trampoline, rhytmic gymnastics, dressage, skateboarding, freestyle BMX, surf, rugby 7s

This crazy idea about merging freestyle and GR comes from lack of knowledge about the sport. yeah they "look" similar if you just watch one match in 4 years. but in past 50 years only one wrestler man

Can't it be in Boxing and Weightlifting, even remove events? 

Both full of scandals... 

 

Actually at this point they kinda damage the Olympic Games image a bit.

 

Artistic Gymnastics also is full of scandals.. This joke with women's individual all-around in 4 in a row olympics must finally end

China has won the weighlifting OG medal table the last five times... IOC is NOT removing one of China's strong holds under no condition. Same applies to diving which I imagine is one of the least popular events during the Olympics. USA might have given up on boxing since everyone goes pro early but it's still huge in former USSR and Cuba. Since they added women's boxing to OG it's not really going away esp. it's one of the traditional sports which is backed by major international players. Tennis and golf are the two most expendable ones since Olympic gold medal isn't the highest achievement in any of the two sports.

Were any of the last four women’s all around controversial? Just seems like an... odd complaint.

At least Tennis had had some recent success in attracting the best players. Golf still looks like it’s fighting an uphill battle based on recent reporting.

Golf just isn't a global sport on the highest scale. The 25th best US player is still better than the best player from like 95% of golf countries. No to mention independent Scotland and England teams can't compete at the Olympics which shrinks the best European nation by default.

 

It's even less competitive for the women where South Korea dominates all, USA is a distant second but still way ahead of everyone else. The one-offs like Lydia Ko don't move the needle. LET is just a glorified second league. It's like those NCAA amateur teams competing for USA at the Olympics when NBA or NHL couldn't field their players as professionals.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
