If we’re taking out races for the addition of cross country, it should absolutely be the 3000m Steeplechase, the event literally invented to replace cross country at the Olympics.

 

Don't you dare touch the best race on the track :<

what's the procedure for 2028 LA Olympics sports programme ? as far as I know all "core sports" were in the Olympics program until the 2024 Paris. when and how they are going to decide about it ? do we already know that ?

-Each sport at a minimum must include one mixed event and probably some other ridiculous rules...

Or the mixed team sports... Where the men and women's are dropped in favour for one mixed competition

I can see this happening. It would open up a lot of places, while at the same time easily allow 16 nations to take part in all team sports.

I love gymnastics, but this is not the right time to ask for more disciplines to be included in the Olympics. As far as I know, disciplines must have regular continental championships in three continents to justify inclusion. Aerobics and acrobatics follow this rule, but not parkour. I mean, a World Championship event in parkour has not even been competed yet, for God's sake!

 

Also, although there are three continental championships in acrobatics (European, Asian and Pan American), the events are usually so bad that some categories in the Asian championships are competed with less than three competitors. The latest Pan American championships only had competitors from the United States. It should not even qualify as a competition.

Bottom line is: FIG is completely out of their collective minds to ask for acrobatics to join the Olympics!

 

Aerobics has even less appeal than breakdancing. It looks kind of antiquated now, and it will suffer when people compare breakdancing and aerobics because of how pretentiously elegant (and a bit tacky) gymnasts look compared to more "urban" breakdancers. 

And let's be honest: parkour is not even a sport (yet), and no one takes it seriously.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
