Yeah, Prague is definitely one city I can personally imagine hosting a great olympics. Definitely more suitable than the black hole we use as capital lately

What about a three way bid between Prague, Bratislava and Budapest?

USA will probably not approve it since it will lessen the medals' total. Shooting is one event where both USA & China would be keen to keep as it is.

OTOH the rule is that each sport controls a set number of Olympic medals, so if you have Open categories in certain event, then all those unused medals can then be used for the kinds of disciplines that appear in the World Cup series but don't now get Olympic medals.

You could appoint some kind of supreme executive power to ensure that everything ran smoothly, wearing special regalia for easy recognition.

I feel like not having the shooting events separated by gender is actually pretty reasonable? In Paris the gold medalist of the women’s event had a higher final score than the gold medalist in the men’s event in the 50m rifle and the 10m pistol (and multiple women had high enough scores to make the men’s final).

 

Olympic shootgun shooting used to be open and it was fine.

 

Also think of the bright side: no more mixed team events in shooting!

until 1992 shotgun shooting was "open", so it would only be a comeback to the "original sin"

 

but tbh I don't like the idea...actually, I'm for the separation of genders also in the Equestrian Sports (like in Germany, where they have a National Championship in Show Jumping awarding both men and women's honors)

 

p.s. physiologically, women have an edge over men in shooting sports, as they normally have a naturally slower average heartbeat rate than men ;)
