It definitely would not be added as a new sport today. In discussions about esports being in the Olympics I've used shooting as an example of a sport that's less physical being in the Olympics. In fact, esports and shooting have a lot of common, they are both precision sports that focus on twitch muscles. Funny enough, there is always someone that tries and argue the physicality of shooting and throws in "but tradition" for good measure. Anyone lobbying for e-sports to be included in the Olympics should be ashamed of themselves.. Also, if you think, that standing straight for 40 minutes and keeping your body in perfect concentration and precision without flinching is less physical, then sitting on a chair and chopping the keyborad...

hckošice 13,673 Posted June 23, 2023 #878 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) 28 nations won medals so far 20 still remains empty-handed. Pitty we was close to win a medal as well but our Karateka lost to ITA and UKR in the pool 1:2 and 2:3... coaches really angry especially for the video refs during the match against the Italian, no idea what happened I did not see the bout, I completely forgot about it and noticed I have the stream prepared only after I heard the screams from the video in the other tab and her bout was already over Edited June 23, 2023 by hckošice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, both shooting and esports seem fairly nonphysical, so it doesn't matter which requires more activity. Esports will never be part of the Games, but that's only because you need a software for it to run a competition and that software (LoL, CS) is privately owned. Like how motorsports will never be at the Games, even if they are more popular than most Olympic sports. You can bet that both esports and motorsports would be at SOG if there would be some solution to include them. IOC aren't that out of touch, they see how esports is ten times more popular among Gen Z than the Olympic Games. Shooting is just not a watchable sport and on top of that nobody cares about it. Even pentathlon has the novelty of seeing people perform well in various activities and seeing that on the screen or at the stadium. Shooting is literally just watching numbers appear on a screen.
