Shooting (rifle and pistol) is still the worst traditional Olympic discipline. Even when I watched us winning a gold medal yesterday I couldn't get excited because it's literally just watching numbers appear on a screen. I know that it can be improved with some graphics, but it would still just be a TV graphic, because irl it's an incredibly boring precision game. Skeet and trap are at least visually pleasing and appear more "physical". Even darts seem more of an actual physical sport than air rifle and air pistol. 

 

I don't know, I just don't get how this sport has 15 Olympic events. Way too much for a sport that's both visually unappealing and has low attendance even at the Summer Games. I would strip it down to 1-1 male and female rifle and pistol events and keep the 5 shotgun events. So basically drop the 6 air pistol/rifle events, down to 9 Olympic events instead of the current 15. Anything would be better than this, even E-sports. 

 

Shooting is one of those sports that's lucky it got in during the early days of the Olympics. 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.

So as long as you remember to take a lightning rod, you’ll be fine.

    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
    • There was some initial disappointment at first, but got over it quite quickly.    Happy for  and I hope they can win a medal in LA with their MLB players there!
