But makes me thing one of them could go. Maybe the outdoor ones based on bigger venue costs. -

Suspect that could backfire for the IOC. -
She really needs to work on being (or at least sounding) less snarky / sarcastic, it has bitten her in the past and it will keep biting her if she doesn’t address it. I think so far she’s been really bad at sounding conciliatory on controversial issues (whether it be Russia, Vladyslav Heraskevych or “women in sports”), but it’s too early to judge her on the changes she is making to the movement. -
Or African. Or Asian. Or South/North/Central American. -
Same as with every single IOC president, past and future, including any other candidate: not happy with it, because sports and events I like are being removed or cut to ridiculously small numbers, and that's never going to change In terms of overall policies, they will all be the same: kind of flowing with the world's politics and trends. None of them are ever going to be amazing, none of them are ever going to be seen as great especially on a forum like this (besides maybe some in the past because there's always people thinking 'everything used to be better' ).

Or, and just hear me out, we add a few relays - and the 50 meters - to the swimming program. That could be a nice way to mix things up and at the same time give swimmers a chance to showcase themselves a bit more than in the currently limited pool program.

What's everyone's thoughts on Coventry's presidency so far now that she has been president for a while? -
Splitting shooting makes absolute sense. They could even easily have rifle and pistol as separate disciplines, but separating the indoor and outdoor events, which are just so absolutely different in every aspect, makes total sense.

Well, the IOC could say to World Aquatics, you can only have all those dozens of Pool Swimming relay events, if you agree to get rid of the Open Water events. Then of course World Aquatics will listen to their sponsors and say "keep the relays" and the IOC gets rid of Open Water without having their fingerprints on the dagger. -
Anyway, in the end there are only going to be athletes who actually lose with all this. I might be happy to see sport X gone, someone else might be fine with removing discipline Y or whatever, but any decision to remove anything has a way bigger effect than us not seeing them on TV - in any sport there's the athletes whose dream is one day competing in the Olympics and they will not just see a decision and think "aw, now I won't see that", but basically see one of their biggest life goals shattered by some people's decisions. It needs no explanation that sports where this is not an issue, so where the Olympics are not the main event, can safely be cut from the program.
