Final day will have 6 women's and 3 men's events. Gender equality at its best.

I like how early the cross-country will be held. Not many events will be overlapped then. 

 

I see that dressage is schedulled before the eventing, there a lot of changes in the usual Olympic schedule,  I´ll have to get used to it

Hello, I think too many sports in the schedule and too few days. in my suggestion the olympic games should go on for three or four weeks. and I think the swimming finals should be in the evening

Yeah, it's kind of weird, but looks like from now they are copying World Equestrian Games schedule (which no longer exist ).

 

Another change is having team jumping after individual jumping.

Three full weeks would be much better, but they wouldn't want that, because uhm ''costs"

So Basketball will now have three groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group and the best two third placed teams making the quarterfinals. Great...

They would save money in terms of needing fewer venues to host the games, but others like security would increase. Overall it would shrink final days from an average of 21 per day to 15 per day (assuming more events don't get added to fill the void)

but they can at lest use the three days before the ceremony with all sports instead of playing only football and baseball. i think costs would not be much more

Nothing spells urban like having basically unfair system.
