I think coastal rowing maybe approved as a one off... Though they would have to agree to move to Tahiti... The current proposal has it being staged in Marseille 

I would really like to stop doing these one off things...

It’s not a bad idea to increase local interest. Again, like everything else, there just needs to be a better, and more transparent process.

Never understood why they hold it in Tahiti when Biarritz is a little bit closer to Paris....

Best surfing venue in France, and one of the most important surging venue anywhere in the world. Also wrong season for Biarritz.

 

They could definitively hold surfing in Biarritz, but the opportunity to hold Olympic surfing in Tahiti is just too good to pass up. Athletes and surfing fans seem very excited about it.

Maybe they could use Longchamps racecourse? Traditionally a lot of the big cross country races were held on horse racing tracks.

I'm thinking more of the Versaille Palace's garden...that would be an amazing place to host some Olympic outdoor events like a cross-country race...

There’s really no good argument for why Squash isn’t already on the Olympic program.

 

Karate really should be a core sport as well.

 

 

Floorball has a lot more development needed, but it could be a great candidate one day. 

The problem with squash and karate is there are a lot of similar sports already on the programme.

Already 3 racket sports and 4 combat sports.
