still find it senseless that Oceania is considered a Continent for sport purpose...

 

it should be Asia & Oceania...always 

As a thought exercise, since it doesn’t seem realistic, it would be interesting if  we’re added to the Asian qualification pathway, and then all the island nations were given their own (Oceania, Caribbean, Indian Ocean).

That would only weaken the Olympic tournament though...fun as it might be  (assuming the number of participating nations stays the same)

And there you go. That’s why Australia competes in Asia instead. We want competition so we can get better rather than beating teams like American Samoa 28-0 everytime.

I mean, each sport/event would likely have (at least) 8 of the best teams in the world represented, so an island representative (along with North/South America, Asia, Africa, Europe) wouldn't change things drastically. It would just offer a bit of universality.

 

I disagree from the major of sports fans, but the the Olympics should be seen as an exposition/celebration of sport, not a glorified world championships. The best teams/athletes in the world should be there, but there should be room for universality too.
