Vektor 3,196 Posted December 7, 2020 #851 Share Posted December 7, 2020 If they want to reduce the number of the athletes so much, why the fuck has the men's football event still 16 teams? Wumo, Agger and Olympian1010 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,334 Posted December 7, 2020 #852 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Track Cycling quotas are basically identical - the men lost three spots, women gained four spots. Presumably qualification will be almost identical to what it was in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the fact there will be (probably) 6 nations per team sprint event? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,334 Posted December 7, 2020 #857 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Other than weightlifting being murdered and road cycling quotas going way down this isn't as bad as I expected. Sad the 50km walk got cut, but not surprised. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jur 590 Posted December 7, 2020 #859 Share Posted December 7, 2020 So...... no team Golf, with one of the most exciting ideas. Sad. Mens road race needed a reduction and the womans an increse, good for that. Overall not bad, but nothing exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why give less quotas to men? It's already too few as it is. I agree about women's artistic and I don't care too much about rhythmic because there are very few gymnasts good enough to fight for medals, but decreasing the number of men, even by 2, is absurd.
