Because men can't do Rhytmic Gymnastic cause "equality" only works one way....?

 

ok...

In Spain male Rhytmic Gymnastics is already developed. There are national championships with a lot of participants since a few years ago.

Take that up with FIG who refuses to make a men's rhythmic event, just like UWW refuses to make a women's Greco-Roman event.

 

FINA can see the writing on the wall and is developing mixed duet in artistic swimming which will likely allow it to survive in the coming years.

No one wants men's rhythmic gymnastics, or synchronized swimming for that part... They are perfectly fine being women only events. And there should be no problem with that. Just like there shouldn't be any problem with wrestling and boxing having more men's events. But these conversations get more and more absurd with every passing Olympics...

Well, I'm No one, nice to meet you.

I mean I, for one, would very much like to see the FIG embrace men's rhythmic gymnastics.

 

It's actually a sport I wanted to try out as a kid but was told I couldn't do for reasons.

They could probably add a mixed team event to Artistic Gymnastics but fitting all the apparatus in at the same time would be challenging. .

You may want to see it, but how much time do spend training rhythmic gymnastics?

Thank you! This shows a much clearer picture of where rhythmic gymnastics stands and how it fits in the so-called "gender equality" proposal. I am one of the only ones here who likes the idea to push gender equality, but I was worried about how the IOC is going to make it work. This document explains things a lot better.

I honestly don't think anyone here seriously has a problem with trying to reach gender equality, the main issue is with how they're going about it and which things are being thrown away and replaced left and right.

By the way, only 329 events by the looks of it? So things get added, which means more than 10 events will be dropped compared to Tokyo? Eight of those coming from karate, one being the 50k, baseball/softball....what else?
