And what happens if there is more than one per nation? We assume that everyone is cheering for nations, and not the athletes? :p

Yes.

 Yes, and also 4x100 medley m/w, I hope in 2024 will be added 50 m backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, 4 x 100 freestyle mixed, 4 x 200 freestyle mixed, and in next period something really new like swimming in 100m pools...

What about a 400m backstroke (I’m really into this idea)

And which swimming events should be taken out to make place for that?

prolong the duration of swimming competitions, swimming in the pool takes only first week of games

Yes, and it has around 8 billion events already, so if events are going to be added, surely some others should be taken out.

in gymnastics, there are all-around team and all-around individual

in swimming could be

backstroke all-around individual (one swimmer swims 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m)

backstroke all-around team (more swimmers swims 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m)

and same for other styles

Transoceanic swimming (from San Francisco to Tokyo for the next Olympics).

 

No water swimming: judges evaluate athletes who pretend to swim (on a skateboard)

I would be so much in favor of some sort of swimming kabaddi :d

So Water Polo without a ball?

    • Sorry but this is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard… putting in 3x3 hockey (which doesn’t even have its own World Championships or anything like that) over telemark skiing, ice cross, and freeride skiing…    This is coming from a big fan of hockey. Curious as to what @hckošice @phelps @Epic Failure @copravolley@Topicmaster1010 think though?
    • Dawn McEwen will be unretiring temporarily (first time since Beijing 2022), as she’ll be stepping in for Shannon Birchard at the GSOC HearingLife Tour Challenge! 
    • The sister of Angelina Topić, Sofija Topić, is already beating her youth records.  Sofija (11) jumped 140cm which is better Angelina's 138cm at that age. 
    • I hope there is some diversity in teams across both disciplines.   I wonder how they will get the 240 quotas. Losing Nordic Combined + Ski mountaineering is only 72 quotas.
    • Last Call For Entries!!   If anyone still wants to enter, this is your last chance to do so. Since I now won't be able to use tomorrow as a voting day I have dedcied to give people an extra 24 hours from this point to enter. The public jury vote will still open at the advertised time. Below I have tagged user from countries that have yet to enter, hopefully they will consider to do so at the last opportunity:   South Korea: @erw@jgb0062 Croatia: @Nikica@snk911@VISOKO Gabon: @Damienyork Belgium: @ALABRAMMIE@Misterxxt Latvia: @Blueniceguy Dominican Republic: @eduardo096 Singapore: @bennetcraig39 Egypt: @mahmoud elrefaei @thepharoah Qatar: @amrgunenr1@KAE Australia: @Sir Rols@Stu192 @dullard Philippines: @JohnRamos84 @PHI2019 @Tigercub Iran: @Hesamkh1990 @MHSN Estonia: @Katie_M Bangladesh: @Razu Ahmed  Montenegro: @ChandlerMne Hong Kong: @pacowong1223    Also @NaBUru38 I know you said you weren't up for doing it due to time but do you think you would reconsider? The process would now only take 3 days with you sending your song Tuesday and voting on Thursday, which isn't really too much time taken up. 
    • I just now saw this, and I already have my vote ready, oh well. 
    • Quarter final Sept 30th    2 - 1     1 - 6    Second semi final October 3rd    vs      Europe vs. South America in the  Semi finals      Probably want to see a   vs  in the final.
    • Some details on the IIHF's 3 on 3 hockey proposal: 8 team tournament for men's and women's 15 athletes per team, 240 athletes total (if they include this they better increate the 2900 athlete cap...) IOC expected to make a decision about including it in the Olympics in March
    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.
