Anyway, it's yet to see if the additional sports program will survive post-2028. The main point has been achieved IMO (adding new - urban, etc. - sports to the core program without sacrificing any existing sports.

It’s interesting that you believe the problem is with the countries that people wish to move to, and not with the countries that some are desperate to leave
None of this is relevant to an English born Australian returning to represent his native country of course
Alexander Brouwer isn't sure he'll continue neither. Which makes sense, considering they've been a pair for 14 years, it was an emotional farewell at the European championships last weekend.
Perhaps they can be Independent Neutral Athletes...
More seriously, if they have no NOC how can they argue to be part of the Games? It's a basic entry requirement. Disapplying it would open up another can of worms in every separatist region on earth. I'd much rather they were there, but it would realistically have to be as USA 2 or CAN 2. Otherwise I fear the tournament will go on without them.
Especially given both the US and Canadian governments are backing the move to allow the Haudenosaunee to compete. The IOC has set themselves up in a position where it could be a PR nightmare no matter what they do.
