Make him keep his promise (politicians and similar like to change them if it suits their interests)

It's time to start the countdown clock until his last day in office

May be is a dream: but i really want to the next IOC president be somebody outside the western countrys, foe example a japanese, to at least be more dificult to have some bad olympics politics, one is what @ChandlerMne mention about the "teen sports" like breakdance.

 has benefited from “teen sports” as much as any other country. Feels like fundamentally the wrong place to look if that’s your concern.

Ok, bad example, i think in japanese for their mentality.

 

Im not against all the incorporation, the skateboard is ok for example but i see an exageration in this politics.

Nicole Hoevertsz also seems like a likely continuity candidate.

Well breaking was the only really controversial, and as far as I know it will not come back in LA.

Re Skateboarding I don't see if snowboarding can be at the winter Olympics why cannot be skateboarding in the summer one. So I am ok with this one (moreover I like to watch it haha)

Surfing and sport climbing are even more "legit" than skateboarding.

 

It will be more interesting what attitude will the eventual IOC president show towards a Saudi/Qatari/Emirati OG.

Hopefully at least for 2036 this bullet can be dodged.

On the other hand those hosts at least would build a decent olympic village with air conditioning 😁 😁 😁
