It could be an interesting idea. But how it would look like? There are so many events - I don't know if I have that much time.

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...

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.

 

It was sarcasm  

 

Like, it's 2024, The Olympic Games are starting in Paris and it's a matter of life or death to have those 3 sports, otherwise there wouldn't be any interest or knowledge that these Games are happening in France. 

 

All this marketing ploy for "host interest" is so ludicrous, that it presents the OG, as some obscure event and we need to popularize it to get some attention.

I refuse to believe that breakdancing has actual fans.

 

And that is because fans of sports like gymnastics, dressage and figure skating usually end up learning and understanding the rules and scoring systems in all their depth. That is simply not the case in the lawless discipline that is breakdancing. How can anyone be seriously invested in an event where judges can pick winners solely based on their subjective preference?

What the fuck are you talking about ? These sports don't drive the host country interest. Surfing will be held to the other place of the globe in a land that half of the population would be surprised to learn it's actually a part of the country, no one cares about BMX past puberty and certainly no one give a fuck about breakdancing.

 

What will drive host country interest are the usual suspects : Athletics, Swimming, team sports or any sport that will bring the medals and that will be forgotten two weeks later.

 

This additional sport selection had little to do with the host country, but mostly with the IOC trying to pretend it's something else.

Ahem, don't know which audiences you refer to but certainly not on television. Also I've barely seen any news about breakdancing and very few about BMX freestyle, though surfing do get way more interest.

Absolutely, the COJO would have tried for pétanque to draw host attention (and get some more medals)
