Canoe, golf, field hockey, karate, modern pentathlon, shooting, sport climbing, surfing, tennis and weightlifting have essentially been dropped from the 2026 Youth Olympic program.

Wait till you hear what they will do with these sports   Sports on the engagement program (so the dropped sports) will also have the opportunity to establish a significant presence at the YO

Is there even any kind of official code of points for breaking? Any judging guidelines outside of "Do you think this is cool?"? Anything at all?

This definitely suggests there is, assuming "Is it cool?" is not one of the criteria.

It was based on skill. There was criteria that the judges were looking for.

my friends, really...

I just can't understand (and never I'll do it) how a bunch of kids having seizures like epileptics can be put into the Olympic program...:nopompom: :facepalm:

It’s better than watching grass grow (Golf and Field Hockey), and it requires more physicality than standing in place (archery and shooting).

It’s informal at major events, just like Halfpipe, Slopestyle, etc.

There was defined criteria for the qualification submissions, but the judging was more open at the YOG itself.

Field hockey uses synthetic turf, so joke's on you. And yeah, I've never been a fan of most of the indoor shooting events, for me they have as much place in the Olympics as breakdancing. Archery is rather underestimated by people though.

I respect your opinion about Golf and Hockey (despite I don't agree at all)...;)

 

but Archery and Shooting are not only about "standing in place", sorry...:evil:

No, but with a bit of luck you can see people's teeth being knocked out!
