FINA So greedy... As if swimmers don't already have 378 medal chances.

 

Mixed team taekwondo This is April fools, right? (one should hope so)

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

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.

Definitely. Men's synchronized swimming is also very charming, as shown several years ago already in this Dutch commercial

....bunch of morons

[Jur 683]

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.

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

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
