Ha, it's just waiting until someone comes up with the idea of deleting some awesome shooting events and replacing them with some sort of weird mixed competition :rofl:

It would be priceless to see the faces of shooting, rowing and canoeing if the IOC accepted all of FINAs proposals after they had to change pre existing olympic events to fit the IOC rules.

Of all the proposed things, I personally aproved:

 

- High Diving, pretty spectacular sport, and fits with this new "young and spectacular" theme that IOC wants.

- More than 8 teams in women's waterpolo. But I think with 10 teams would be enough.

- The mixed shooting events look interesting

- The rowing boat change.

- Two more women's boxing.

- Mixed syncrro duet

- Madison. (Actually I would dig ANY change in the track events)

 

 

I'm not so into 3x3 basketball or BMX freestyle thing but I can see them getting added due to IOC wanting to aproach to younger audiences. And the Triathlon relay I would accepted only if there's not a mandatory order from them to take place. It should be free.

I wouldn't mind table tennis events to be Doubles rather than teams, but it should be one or the other. And I wouldn't mind either if they change women's 800m freestyle to 1500, and so they do the same as men.

 

Mixed events in taekwondo, judo and pentathlon sounds like a joke. And no need for swimming programe to get bigger. I don't think Wieightlifting is in the position to ask for another event, they should drop one of men's weigths. Mixed archery, meh, not impresed but the fact that don't need new quotas could help them getting in.

New events

Archery: But using bazookas

Athletics: Race walk on a protest staring Kendall Jenner

Badminton: Shuttlecock renamed 'shuttlevagina' for feminism

Baseball: Powerups like Mario Super Sluggers

Basketball: Every team is just made up of five USA players

Beach volleyball: All the players are naked

Boxing: Replaced with UFC

Canoeing - Slalom: There are no longer any boats

Canoeing - Sprint: There is no longer any water

Cycling - BMX: Some mad freestyle eve- wait, this is real? Oh.

Cycling - Mountain Bike: Athletes no longer have a bike, and only have rations for 2 months, to start a fire, and no emergency contact

Cycling - Road: There are still cars on the road, so the athletes have to be mindful of traffic

Cycling - Track: The biggest race in Olympic history: 1,000 athletes (all at the same time) - what could go wrong?

Diving: It's now from the biggest sky scraper in the host nation

Equestrian: No more outdated horses. For animal rights, the teams have two hours to make a Papier-mâché horse and use that

Fencing: It's now going to be a medieval swordfight

Field hockey: You get points for hitting your apponent with the stick

Football: Now a full-age competition that everybody in football respects LOL HAHA JUST KIDDING it's one of those stupid 'freestyle football' competitions

Golf: It's on a volcano à la Mario Golf

Gymnastics - Artistic: It's now a twerking competition

Gymnastics - Rhythmic: They throw the ball and play cricket using the clubs - throwing through the hoops as an impromptu wicket and the ribbon as the crease

Gymastics - Trampoline: If an athlete does badly, the trampoline is removed before they land

Handball: You can now use your feet

Judo: It's now an "artistic judo" contest, where you have to be the most stylish no matter who wins

Karate: It's the most stereotypical karate match ever, with all participants armed with ninja throwing starts to appeal to youth

Modern Penathlon: League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, FIFA 17, Rocket League, Pokémon Sun/Moon

Rowing: All teams have no paddles

Rugby Sevens: There is now 1 player on each team

Sailing: It lasts 3 months on a voyage to Australia. It doesn't matter where the host nation is, it will always mysteriously last 3 months and be to Australia anyway

Shooting: It's now for Black Lives Matter, participants have to dress up as policeman and shoot unarmed black people. Unfortunately, real people are used for some reason.

Skateboarding: (It's in the Olympics in the first place lol) "Woah dude. That kickflip was gnarly" - The commentators will say that even if it's unrelated to a kickflip

Softball: It's now a men only sport and baseball is a women's only sport

Sport Climbing: The sea level slowly rises, meaning if you take too long you'll drown

Surfing: Remember Club Penguin? Yeah. That.

Swimming: Now with added sharks!

Table Tennis: No table, now you just get points by hitting your opponent with the ball

Taekwondo: Athletes will now be those stupid weeaboos that think everything Japanese is cool and will bring body pillows, then run away before the fight

Tennis: The women where dresses but no underwear in a shameless attempt to get viewers, the IOC explain why this is actually pro-feminism

Triathlon: Jousting, Hotdog eating, and The Suicide Race - The athletes did not know they meant actual suicide

Volleyball: The net is now 20 metres high, all the time the athletes are on really wobbly ladders. Fifteen die, thirty-six wounded

Water Polo: Now you HAVE to make your feet touch the ground, at all times

Weightlifting: All done by douchebag gymlads that look stupid when they completely overestimate their lifting ability

Wrestling: Anything is legal, like chair throwing, punching, and concealing a weapon and shooting the opponent

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

    • I am more optimistic about the Freestyle events because I think the scoring in them is always biased towards the established favourites.  A bit like diving where the Chinese are always awarded a higher tariff because their dives are judged to be more complicated.  Obviously the big names still have to go out and perform without making a huge mess of it, but a complex routine performed at 95% will outscore an average routine performed at 100%

    • At this point I'm basically just procrastinating on all my uni assignments but here's my attempt.    Great Britain's Medal Prospects  LIKELY   Curling - In my view, Mouat's rink are undeserving of the title of outright favourites, but they are certainly up there, as is the mixed team. The women's rink isn't as strong but they surprised me with the European performance so who knows. Overall, I think leaving without a medal would be seen as a real disappointment.    Freestyle Skiing - Zoe Atkin and Kirsty Muir have both won world cup and X games golds this season, so will be up there for the medals. Freestyle Skiing is an unpredictable sport though so no guarantees can be made. I would say Muir is the more likely out of the two (especially considering she's entered in two events). Elsewhere on the team the chances are slim to none. Gus Kenworthy has come out of retirement but frankly it would be a huge surprise to see him anywhere near to podium again.   Skeleton - After such a disappointing Beijing, the team has been reborn, with Matt Weston and Marcus Wyatt claiming all world cup golds this season. The women's team has been less consistent, with Tabby Stoecker being the most likely to contend, although on their say all 3 women can challenge. The mixed relay provides further medal opportunities, although so far this season it has been quite unpredictable. Realistically though, multiple medals are on the cards and I would hope a gold is as well.   Snowboarding - Mia Brookes again performed strongly at the X-Games, so she should be in contention for both her events. Charlotte Bankes seems to be finding some form as well, and she and Huw Nightingale are always formidable in the snowboard cross. Across these events, I would hope there will be at least one medal, but winter sports always throw curveballs.   POSSIBLE   Bobsleigh - A couple of years ago this would have been fairly likely but Brad Halls form is not as strong. He seems to have been improving over the last few races to it wouldn't be unsurprising if he could snag a bronze in one of the disciplines, but nothing further is likely.   Figure Skating - The media likes to hype things up, and this talk about Fear and Gibson being the next Torvil and Dean is frankly misguided. To be clear, on their day, they can certainly content for a medal, but they have to be flawless, and their European performance was anything but. The emergence of the new French pairing will certainly harm their chances too.    VERY UNLIKELY   Alpine Skiing - It looks as though all three athletes are only entered in the Slalom, which does simplify our prospects. Dave Ryding has shown he can win a medal on his day, and Laurie Taylor finished 4th earlier in the season, but the be blunt it would be a major shock if either could get on the podium. Not impossible, but highly unlikely.   Cross Country Skiing - Andy Musgrave is in a similar camp to Dave Ryding where if everything falls into place, a medal is possible, but it is a huge stretch. Joe Davies looks to be the strongest on the team but again, the strength of other nations, even without the Russians, makes this highly improbable.   Short Track Speed Skating - Niall Treacy is the only athlete entered, and whilst he has won a world cup medal in the past, he would need quite a lot of fortune to repeat that feat. Again, it is short track, so who knows.       IMPOSSIBLE   Biathlon - No way, I was surprised we even sent a team.   Speed Skating - Elia Smeding has slowly been creeping up the order this season in the 1000m but I fear it is too little too late. A top 10 finish is on the cards though for sure.     Summary   To be honest I'm to wary of the unpredictability of winter sports to give the team a floor, but quietly I whisper 2 medals minimum.   If all went to plan, I could realistically see a maximum of 18 medals (3 curling, 3 Freestyle Skiing, 5 skeleton, 2  bobsleigh, 4 snowboarding and 1 figure skating), but I think I'm more likely to get struck by lightning then to get anywhere close to that.   This would leave me with an expected total of 6 medals, which would be a new record.    Can't wait to be proved woefully wrong and we stagger back with a few scraps like 4 years ago.
