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)? :evil:

 

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

 

Hello equestrian! :d Both mixed gender athletes and horses. :d

 

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),

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

 

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. :lol:

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

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.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
