I wonder how @Dennis, @Jinzha or @Noorderling29 would see this, but I very much doubt we'd add something 'Dutch' like kaatsen or fierljeppen which are Frisian things specifically and basically entirely unknown outside of it (personally I only know of their existence and that's it) Korfball of course! And for the winter Olympics we could add marathon speed skating and cyclocross (which would be a great addition to the Winter Olympics I think!)

Plus, I’ve watched some competitions, so I’m already familiar with the rules. Korfball would probably be the Dutch pick though. Nobody cares about korfball though I don't mean internationally, I mean here in the Netherlands. I believe there is like one derby between two small towns that's a big deal....in those two small towns, but that's about it. You'll find more people who can name 10+ current MotoGP riders and 10+ current biathletes (to pick a random example of relatively small sports here) than people who can name a single current national team korfball player, no doubt. Sure, without korfball I wouldn't exist, but still Olympian1010 and hckošice 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Right, if we can also add disciplines/events instead of whole sports, marathon speed skating and cyclocross would be good choices indeed. Even better: kick out the mass start and replace it with the marathon Olympian1010 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Remember, this is about countries specifically choosing some addition, like the US choosing flag football (which probably 99% of people outside of the US have never even heard of) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
