Off course all federations want new events, and with the IOC wanting gender equal events, you will get these ridiculous events being proposed. What's next mixed team events? Or mixed sport mixed gender lol. For example, mixed team archery-boxing-canoeing. konig and intoronto 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,205 Posted April 9, 2017 #352 Share Posted April 9, 2017 But yeah, they are proposing some mixed team events that don't even exist at this point. It's like Universiade.... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would at least allow a lot more nations to experience ice hockey. However, competition system used at 2016 WYOG is unbelievably ridiculous. Qualification points were completely based on head to head results. You could literally have second best result in one event and still finish 9th there because you were randomly paired with the best athlete in round one. Suppose it was very hard to have fastest lap competition as a time trial. Edited April 9, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be interesting and funny to watch for newcomers, but it´s still better to keep in a exhibition level as a part of such All stars weekends things..but I don´t mind if it will stay in the YWOG program ofc, but surely not at the normal olympics and @dcro I agree about the format, they should better just made 2 qualification groups instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
