I still can't believe that nations are allowed to enter two mixed teams in a same competition. That just doesn't make sense at all. It's not like your shooting performance depends on who are you shooting with.

 

I guess that's just ISSF being pathetic in trying to make everyone happy. First they throw out established events to make Bach happy, and then they add this mindless rulling to keep the big nations happy.

This is also the reason why I feel team events are relatively useless in shooting other than to award more medals to big nations.

See the double trap actually is very sad. It's another umiliation for all the moviment.

In a way yes, but in another sense if the Olympics was the only thing keeping double trap alive then the blame can’t be all on the IOC, the ISSF clearly didn’t put in enough work fostering that discipline.

 

Events can survive being dropped from the Olympics, sometimes they even come back (see: the madison).

True, ISSF didnt do much to save DT. In 2004 women DT, now men... Plenty of time to try to save it. Personally, i like it even more than skeet or trap.

Ocassionally, yes. On the other hand, see what happened with running target. Olympic Games bring that vital ingredient for some sport to develop.

Double Trap, Canoe Slalom C2, Canoe Sprint K4-1000m...3 great events of Rio 2016 some of them slowly disappearing ad some already not existing anmore only 3 years after being dropped by IOC

 

Bach the biggest evil of the Olympics
