I mean, they were given 4 more years to pull it off and we get this?

 

YOG are irrelevant now, every hist after this edition will try to cut costs by showcasing sports they don’t want to host.

Yup. Meanwhile Baseball 5 and Wushu are on the actual program :facepalm:

 

It was a mistake going to Africa. there have been so many changes to accommodate Senegal.

Even within Africa it's a weird pick. Small country, quite underdeveloped (GDP per Capita lower than Palestine...). 

I guess no one else in Africa wanted it.

Nope. 4 cities bid in total and the IOC chose them. Gaborone, Tunis and Abuja.

Beach wrestling :facepalm:
