Some other points that stood out to me were Mixed Synchro events in Diving, Madison missing from Track Cycling, and the inclusion of more para sports/events. I think this a solid program of events for the Commonwealth Games. My only complaint remains the exclusion of shooting. I wouldn’t mind seeing Tennis or Archery again either. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,251 Posted October 21, 2020 #100 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Not surprised, people preach gender equality, but now men have less events, so its technically not gender equality, lol Hamilton 2026 (the next games bid) was touting they are the first games to offer more for women, but I guess not trolol. The 10km race walk is absolutely shocking. Who decided to approve this bs? @heywoodu@hckosice All the events are expected more or less, at least men's events were not dropped to get more women's events. Happy that more para athletes will get a shot too compete as well, which is unique about these games. Disappointed in the team sizes for the team sports. Basketball can easily have 12 per event, beach volleyball 16, rugby women can go to 12. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
