Haha, the B proposal has only team events in prone/double trap/50m pistol, without individual events. :lol:

 

And I thought FEI was becoming desperate. :p

I didn't see that :d 

 

Well, B then I guess, at least something with double trap.

Wait, you are actually for the idea of athletes going to the Olympics just to compete in some weird mixed team event? :p

No, but if that's the only way to include double trap...so be it :p

B for sure, otherwise 50m pistol and double trap specialists are out of the games. I don't like the rifle prone event though (I prefer 10m), but at least it's a 2-1.

the main problem would be that they will get those quota only among the already qualified (in other disciplines) athletes...

I'm pretty sure that there won't be any special qualification event for those mixed competitions, but they will take only some shooters already there for other events based on some weird "combined ranking"...

and frankly I don't like disciplines without the real specialists, with the medals going just to some good all-rounders who could just take a good placing in that same event if the "big guns" would be there...

 

by the way, I'm totally against all those changes...so, my vote would go to "option C": let all things exactly as they were in Rio (the only move I'd like would be the reintroduction of the Running Target competition, replacing the Prone Rifle - it's always a men's rifle event, but more spectacular and more "for real specialists")...

 

but, since I'm not the one who takes those decisions, imho option A is not as bad (being "good" is something else) as option B...
