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.

 

well, we can easily get rid of boxing...

 

corruption and the fact that at the Games there are not the best fighters in business should be good enough reasons to make the change (and get Karate back with its full 12 gold medals program -and a more reasonable number of fighters in each category, as 10 is a true insult for a sport that normally lines up to 150 players up in some categories at the world champs -with 1 representative per Nation, not with 100 coming from 1 single place)...

 

and for the racket sports, we might cut all the doubles and team events off and just keep a 64-player M + W singles in each of the sports...

There's a strong rumor that the IOC and the organizing committee would consider the reintroduction of karate if the World Karate Federation changed a few rules, there's hope because they are already t

I'm the only one who thinks this is kind of stupid? Olympic sports should have some sort of a long term plan, no just one appearence and that's all. 2028 Olympics being in LA is going to push for

lol we are going to end up with like 5 entries per event at this rate. More sports in the same quota = less athletes competing per event. Stupid idea.   If you are going to add sports, incre

Who knew that France requires break spinning, bike juggling and surfing in the Pacific Ocean to bring interest in the country. The IOC should really think of their marketing strategy, otherwise the Games could run unnoticed in France. 

it would be the smallest of problems...

 

with this sh*t they're doing right now, they're just going to lose many long time die-hard fans of the Games as they were...aka they're one and only (once loyal) fanbase...

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 

If Surfing, Sailing, Coastal Rowing, and Beach Volleyball were in Tahiti...I’d fly there in a minute for the Olympics.

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

Yes, Eventing Cross Country and Athlete Cross Country could definitely share a venue.

Right, but Squash is quite different the rest. That’s a valid argument for Karate, but it does deserve to be on the program due to other factors.

Literally anyone who knows anything about French sports. These sports do fantastic in France. Breakdancing, Surfing, BMX Freestyle all generally draw great audiences in France.

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...

A venue already selected for equestrian and modern pentathlon.

They will not lose so many long time die-hard fans like us, because - even if we agree that they make so many bad decisions and there are so many hilarious mistakes in IOC work - there is one truth: THERE IS STILL NOTHING BETTER IN INTERNATIONAL SPORTS THAN OLYMPICS ITSELF. I can't find anything which could be considered as a  better thing to watch.

      it looks that earlier Today the  crew of Ineos Britannia made the decisive break and now they're just 1 win away from the Louis Vuitton Cup and the chance to face Team Emirates New Zealand for the America's Cup   in Today's 2 races, for the first time there was no share of victories between the  and  crews, instead the  guys were simply better than the Italians, who made a capital mistake in the choice of the jib in the 1st race and just lost the start battle (and therefore the race) in the 2nd head-to-head   now Ineos Britannia leads the best-of-13 series by a score of 6-4

      preliminary entry list for the World Championships (non-Olympic weights) 2024   https://uww.org/article/world-championships-non-olympic-weights-2024-entries   Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the Russian trials yesterday (he didn't look good though) and therefore his name is here, as well as another Olympic Champion Zaur Uguev. with David Taylor, Jordan Burroughs and Reza Geraei we have at least 5 Olympic Champions in the list    also interesting to see lots of guys (Berdimuratov, Ganbaatar, Tsakulov, Kaipanov etc) cut weight massively from their usual Olympic weight to wrestle here.  which shows the importance of a World Championship title    ps: 2024 Olympians are not allowed to wrestle here.
