I hate that system. Considering nearly all of the participants are in the individual what real effect does holding both have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just sad If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t have a problem with that, given that shooters have pretty much the longest careers of any Olympic discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jur 679 Posted August 13, 2021 #1106 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Karate is so boring. It's, by far, the most borig combat sport of all in the programme. And Katas are... well, something else. It's a slower and worst explained version of Taekwondo. If they want a combat sport that has both fighting and "performing" I wish they choose Wushu, a more entretaining one. But honestly I dont think the games need another martial art. Maybe in 2028 when inevitably Boxing gets axed....... thiago_simoes and opruh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rotation system sucked when it was happening with fencing (thank God fencing has all three team events now) and it sucks with shooting, too. pdr4332, phelps, Orangehair43 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
