Yes, that’s less than ideal for most people. 


I wouldn’t just write the event off though. The men’s road race at the 2018 Asian Games only had 58 entries (with a max of 4 riders per team), and that is still one of the most entertaining races I’ve watched. 

But road cycling is pretty much team effort. And how many riders from one NOC will be allowed to start? I believe not 5 or not even 4, like in Tokyo. That is not enough. I would like to watch a great race with majority of best riders. There are so many good e.g. Belgian or even French riders that 3-men teams are too small. 130 riders in Tokyo will be ok. In Rio there were 144. Cutting down to 90 is very disappointing.

Fun fact, is mixed team trap the first event ever to be removed before it was even held for the first time? :p

 

They started being proactive about removing Slovak events.

no, there's a full sport removed before its debut, Karate...:evil: :facepalm: :wall:

"the ISSF informed the IOC Executive Board that the most of the ISSF Executive Committee members, members of the Athletes Committee and Shotgun Committee were in favor of the Skeet Mixed Team to be included into the 2024 Games program."

So why was trap proposed in the first place? :d

I think Dunfee and other top racewalkers have been out of the loop for years. They knew their event was going to be cut, they should have tried to do everything they could in order to show that racewalking deserved one more event. What they did was continuing to oppose the introduction of any kind of technology that would have brought a bit more credibility to the judging and accepting to star in those ridiculous 1 km runner vs walker events. They should blame themselves before crying foul.

It was always known that the two events would alternate. In 2028 the mixed trap will return

and the first starts to sound loudly

 

Jiří Prskavec the czech canoe Slalom K1 world champion already expressed his negative attitude towards the new Olympic event Kayak-Cross.

 

according to him, the "extreme slalom" has not developed anywhere in the last four years

 

"if there will be no extra quotas, the only athletes who will qualify will be obviously only canoe slalom specialists, the extreme slalom specialists who would be better in this will have to stay at home. So it will be just a sort of an extra discipline for us canoe slalomers, which we do not like or really practice."

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
