Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Sports Programme

Yeah, it's not as easy as calling a new sport and asking them if they want to be in the Olympics. At the very least, the IOC would have to open up a proposal phase, have a review, select the sport and then approve the qualification process.

 

With that said I am not convinced boxing/weightlifting will be removed. The two sport federations will do the bare minimum to stay.

Please no karate, I was very much in favor before as Croatia has few good fighters. But after watching karate for the first time, I think it is the most boring and totally non-sense combat sport. 
 

 

Karate, the only combat sport where you can win by being knocked out xD

 

I actually liked the kata event, but kumite was imo the worst event in the Tokyo Olympics.

There's also the strong rumour that up to 2 men will be allowed per team in Paris.

The FINA rules have been changed to allow this but not yet the Olympic qualification rules.

But that could still change

That would ruin the 50/50 gender split for the Olympics so I think it will be unlikely unless they compensate it elsewhere.

That seems like a pretty important step for the long term survival of artistic swimming as an Olympic sport given agenda 2020 tbh. Wouldn‘t be surprised if in a decade or two it becomes a 50/50 split.

Yeah, artistic swimming/FINA has seen the writing on the wall for a long time. While everything is now balance in terms of total athletes there are still imbalances within sports with football, Greco-Roman wrestling and water polo having more men and artistic swimming and rhythmic gymnastics having more women.

 

The push for equality in the men's events has slowly created a counter push for equality in the women's events which now holds more ground given the equal overall athlete quotas. Any reduction of men's quotas (or increase of women's quotas) will have to be met with a counter response on the women's side.

 

Artistic swimming has done a lot of work in preparation for when the IOC drops the hammer. If the IOC ever decides to grant women's water polo the extra 22 quotas, I expect to see artistic swimming flip to mixed duets and teams (with teams of 6/7 women and 2/1 men).

 

Rhythmic gymnastics on the other hand has done nothing, maybe they expect football to always be imbalanced?

    • 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.
