I'm happy mixed team taekwondo didn't win by the way, at least one 'loss' for the 'everything must be mixed'-maffia

Parhetic as usual... No words. Wrestling with one of the most variety when it comes to country participation, gets hammered once again for some joke events. 16 quotas aren't enough for only Europe..

but still we have judo

Suggestion for the IOC: why not scrap the whole men/women thing and just have only mixed events? So in athletics for example only 'the 100m', no men's 100m or women's 100m, but an open 100m where both women and men can compete (and so on for each and every discipline/event)? 

 

Then you've got full equality and no terribly unfair splits between men and women anymore, right?

Luckily that has a rich history as an event in world championships, where the mixed team event has been contested for a long ti....oh wait, it has no history at all.

It likely has to do with the controversies from Rio, and its not a popular sport among the EB (after all it was dropped).

Wrestling being in trouble is not in general unfair, indeed with all the controversies and whatnot. Same thing for weightlifting, although it should be more because of doping problems than gender stuff
