Moreover Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, well Denmark. Italy, Poland, France,... I think there is no reason to add it from reason to not wide medal table -
It make nosense for me, besides not being typical winter sports, then how many quotas are used in nordic combined and how many needs volleyball and handball? We would increase of number of quotas in winter olympics, or we will cut tournaments of both sports from 12 teams to 8 or even 6 and having round robin like in basketball 3x3? -

So why does he do it, if there is not any benefit? -

By cheating. You can see that Kennedy does it in his each stone. -

Plenty of moments, but while this one is fresh in my brain... It was the audience singing the national anthem as they raised the at the end of the men's Ice Hockey game earlier today. Of course everyone knows about the divisiveness of American politics. Here in the USA, we have so much fighting amongst ourselves, and the division is exhausting and at times worrisome. Then, when you look abroad, I see the world looking at us, and much of what I hear is negativity towards us. (This isn't unique to the current administration.) That even includes being on forums like this one, whose aim is to celebrate Olympic sport and athletes from around the world as they compete in the Olympics, whose aim is to bring unity and good sportsmanship. During the Olympics, it's a time where we in the USA come together. Though half of my fellow Americans voted differently than I did, we all got to cheer when we scored that OT goal. We all came together and sang our national anthem. I don't know the hockey players at all. They may have voted for our current president, or perhaps not. Statistically, probably half of them did. But that doesn't matter here. We even have ads on TV right now saying "For two weeks, we all come together." My country is more than its political leaders. (I mean, half of Americans didn't even vote for our president.) My country is full of beautiful stories, places, and people. We have amazing athletes. And when we win a gold medal, we celebrate. Of course there are aspects of being an American that aren't good...but there's plenty to celebrate. And I got to hear that audibly today. When you on this forum see me and my fellow Americans celebrating a victory (whether that's in ice hockey or whatever random sport you don't care about), I hope what you see is us celebrating the accomplishments of our athletes. I hope you don't see me as one who is promoting any political agenda. (My political beliefs or who I voted for aren't relevant here.) I'm just a guy that likes to watch people from my country go out there and fight as hard as they can to win. When we do, it's great, and I'll celebrate. When we don't, I'll congratulate the victors and hope we can come back stronger next time. This isn't a specific moment, but one thing I love most about international sport are the hugs that the athletes give each other after they finish. They're competitors, and they each want to win...but ultimately, they just want to be their best and beat the best. I love seeing the sportsmanship that is evident at most times. So likewise, I hope we fans can be an extension of that Olympic spirit, promoting peace, excellence, and good sportsmanship as we all celebrate sport. And yes, I also recognize there may be some who don't like it when America dominates certain sports. I feel similarly when I see other countries dominating other areas. I mean, besides the Germans, who didn't love it when the sled came and stole bronze in the 4-man bob today? I think back to the Athletics WCh when randomly won a shot put medal, I think it was. I love the underdog story, too, and I celebrate those moments. Of course it stings if it's an underdog that beats , but again, congrats to the victor, and see you next time. -

According to this substack. https://duncanmackayveritas.substack.com/p/the-cappuccino-edition-16-bobsleigh -
…based on what? Also good luck to Netball, has the IF sanctioned a single men’s game yet? Not very gender equal, youthful or urban of them. -

Alpine skiing (10) *No changes. I don't regret neither the old combined events, nor the team event. I think we have the best possible outcome now. Schedule could be revisited though. Biathlon (11) * Single mixed relay instead of regular mixed relay. If you want a third relay, let's have one with a different format. Two teams per country Bobsleigh (4 -> 3) * Drop that Monobob nonsense. It's ok, if we don't have the exact same number of events between males and females. Two teams per country (sorry Germany), push for standardized bobsleighs in two-woman and two-men. Cross-country skiing (12 -> 14) * Have both free and classical sprint events * Make sure you have real sprint courses, and no Klaebo-sprint courses Curling (3) *As a pure two-weeks-every-four-years curling guy, I prefer the mixed format over the longest one, but I assume purists will disagree, so it's ok Figure skating (5 -> 4) *Drop the team event or come with something better. As it stands, it's too much artificial. Freestyle skiing (15 -> 13) * Remove aerials altogether. It was ok to have gymnasts doing crazy stuff on air for a time, but with the inclusion of other crazy stuff from actual skiers, it became pointless * Keep dual moguls, but tweak it so that speed becomes way more prevalent * Add mixed skicross event Ice hockey (2) - ok - Luge (5) * Drop the women's double, not competitive enough. Nordic combined (3 -> 4) * Keept it ! * Add one women's events, no need for more * Make one of the men's event a Mass Start * Add one woman to the relay Short-track speed skating (9) - ok - Skeleton (3) - ok - Ski jumping (6 -> 5) * Have only one mixed team event and that's it. Ski mountaineering (3 -> 5) * Make it a core sport ! (I believe it brings enough variety to the program to keep it for good) * Have sprint events ont the longest relay course * Add individual events Snowboarding (11 -> 14) * Add a parallel slalom team event * Add freeride events Speed skating (14 -> 13) * Drop the Mass Start, it's not your sport ! * Bring an all-around team event, or possibly both individual all-around events if the athletes are up for it. Bandy (as an additional sport) (0-1) * Men only, and if it makes sense for the host country. TOTAL: 116 -> 118/119
