what is Mixed Foiling Multihull?

[DaniSRB 899]

Mixed team realy would have been more useful in modern pentathlon than triathlon

Surfing ...

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?

 

Hello equestrian! Both mixed gender athletes and horses.

 

Seriously though, I'm glad FEI solved all gender equality issues by the early 1960s... No need to pay "old debts" that so many other sports have done today.

The most part of the changes are a dissaster for me, its only good the 800m (M) & 1500m (W), Cycling (Track)
Madison and the Fencing.

yes that's fair and at the same time they are awarding athletics and cycling.

 

Although road cycling is in trouble, where the most doping cases are coming from.

Those would be alright if they took away women's 800 and men's 1500  

 

Having both 800 and 1500 for both genders is so unnecessary.

It's a sad day really, but always gonna happen with this Agenda 2020 nonsense.

 

Swimming - Seriously, another freestyle event?! So Ledecky going for 4 individual golds in Tokyo... No comment on mixed gender relay nonsense.

Archery - Same old mixed gender. At least this event is being held at the biggest stage for a while now.

Athletics - Another pop-up mixed gender event that doesn't even exist at this point.

Basketball - 3x3 with 8 teams per gender.

Boxing - I guess transfer of weights is fine. But please don't still have 12 athletes per women's weights.

Canoe - Women's canoe events are joke at this point, let's be honest.

Cycling BMX - Perhaps the worst addition, hard to choose really.

Cycling Track - Madison is fine, but women's event at this year's Worlds was unbearable with like 2-3 competitive teams and everyone else hitting the deck.

Fencing - At least they found logic somewhere.

Judo - Another pop-up mixed gender event

Rowing - Women's fours will be pretty much like eights with B teams (or the other way around).

Sailing - Just another change of class, nothing new for sailing.

Shooting - Awful day continues.

Table tennis - I guess mixed doubles might work actually. Should be opened to everyone.

Triathlon - Might work actually.

Weightlifting - They had it coming.

 

Really disappointed to see the cuts in athletics and swimming. Small nations are gonna pay for that.

Means that Nacra 17 will be replaced with Foiling Nacra 17 class.
