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?

Fewer weightlifting weight categories.

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

Why would boys train for a sport where the world doesn't allow them to compete on.

 

Spain is one of the few countries, not to say the only one, with a stablished men's rhythmic national championships and national league, in individual and teams, and there are thousand of kids taking the sport.

 

 

 

A sport that totally neglets based on gender should not have a place in the Olympics. They have had years and years and years to do something about it, and no one moved. So, why not face the ax?

In terms of being removed without being replaced

8 karate events

4 weightlifting events

2 baseball/softball events

 

New events which did not replace existing ones

2 breaking events

2 sport climbing events

 

This gives us a net event count of -10.

Tony Estanguet, head of Paris OC, justifying the inclusion of the young and urban © new sports and the exclusion of karate by their success on social networks...

Is there any possibility of new categories in Skateboarding or Surfing?

As far as I know, Skateboarding has other 4 events which could be in Olympics: Freestyle, Vert, Mega Vert and Downhill

 

I only see Vert and Downhill with real chances to make it.

 

Surfing, I remember talking with a ISA member, and he said about plans to add Stand-up Surfing to the Olympics.

The simplest thing would be to drop the extra boxing event (so it's 6+6) and to add the individual apparatus medals for rhythmic gymnastics.

This would be both simple and logical. FIG could also add 2 sets of medals to the group events, so the extra boxing event would not need to be removed and one extra weight category could be added to another sport, presumably weightlifting.

Skateboarding downhill, is that what I think it is? Because that'd be extremely awesome :d Sure, not really 'Olympic' or something, but neither is breakdancing and that's on the program.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
