This seems kind of unnecesary to me. At the time there are not 12 good teams in the world

One could argue that adding quotas would encourage nations to improve their programs, thus heightening the standard of play in women’s water polo, and increasing the number of nations involved.

There’s currently 10 women’s teams by the way.

 

We could use those quotas actually give Karate it’s full program of 2 Kata events and 10 Kumite events. Each event should only have 8 entries though, as is tradition for Karate at multi-sports games.

 I forgot about that. It's all corona fault and lack of events by this shit.

Given that the IOC has pledged full gender equality by Paris 2024 I wouldn’t be surprised if Artistic Swimming was in some real jeopardy.

The "new in" is having more women competing. To the IOC gender equality only matters if its for women.

Imo they are just destroying the games more and more, not to offend anyone but the thought of E-sport getting a place in the games is completely revolting

Alright, that is a proposal I did not see coming 

 

Just to clarify, is it men’s and women’s individual events + a mixed relay, or just a mixed relay?

Just a mixed relay, apparently.

Cross-country running is just the same athletes but with different shoes, come on. And obviously only the mixed relay  World Athletics hasn't made a fool of itself enough yet?

 

If you so desperately want to add another running event, make it trail running or something (through forests and with steep climbs and rocks and so on), at least that is definitely much different.

Yeah, but that's not IAAF department if I'm not worng  IOC is very supported about mixed events this days and IAAF obviously wants to use that. The same as with 4x400 before but this time is not event created specially for the olympics.
