Losing 12 isn't so bad... but wtf @ no new events with no new athletes?

 

Bach needs to go

Right, that’s what pisses me off about this. They followed all of the IOC’s wishes (included more women’s events, tried to make better use of existing venues, came up with medal events that didn’t require additional athletes, etc.), and still got fucked over by them.

I will say the comments on the Facebook posts of those articles are highly amusing. A lot of good arguments being made for deaf ears.

Olympic Games will become a circus

they already are a joke...

 

after break dance I thought we got to the extreme low point, but I see they're still digging deep...

 

I hope one day they find what they're looking for...surely, it's not what I like...

I wonder how much money the host will save by having less 12 athletes in the games village! 10 billion dollars I assume or maybe 20 billions

12 out of 500...

 

500*transport*food*beds etc. Would imagine there would be savings, but cutting athletes, which make a part of the games makes 0 sense too me. What should be cut are things like "baskets of seasonal fruit' for each IOC member... etc.

Oh, you mean “the seasonal pastry to be presented to each IOC member upon entry into the country.” How the hell would we have Olympics without those measures!?! 
 

If the fridges weren’t “all filled with Coca Cola products,” the Olympic Games would immeasurably damaged forever!

 

What insane, outlandish reform will you propose next! Letting people use cards other than Visa to pay for Olympic goods? 
 

“No. Sports, athletes, and spectators must be cut from the Olympic Games if they are too survive.” said the IOC member while trying his second golden watch (got to have one for each hand).

And now we know what the ITU proposed:

more and more disgusted by the ioc and by the world federations...

Quote

“The IOC, which is due to confirm the Paris 2024 event programme at its Executive Board meeting next month, has outlined its opposition to new events if they increase the number of athletes but has suggested it is open to their inclusion if it is contested by the same set of competitors.”

Right, and when the ICF proposed a pair of events that would do just that, the IOC told them that they’re losing 12 quotas and won’t be allowed to have any more medal events then they currently have.

IAAF eventually removed heats for 10000 m. TV time and lack of imterest were the reasons.

 

ITU now wants to have their own 30+ min long heats, semifinals...

 

Oh the irony.
