There's a strong rumor that the IOC and the organizing committee would consider the reintroduction of karate if the World Karate Federation changed a few rules, there's hope because they are already t

lol we are going to end up with like 5 entries per event at this rate. More sports in the same quota = less athletes competing per event. Stupid idea.   If you are going to add sports, incre

karate is played worldwide unlike skateboarding in 5 countries

Skateboarding has a larger audience, but yes there are established nations in the sport

Too bad for the athletes, but I still find it an excellent decision.

actually, I find it the most stupid decision ever...:facepalm::hairpull::thumbdown:

 

Karate is one of the most universal sport in the world, usually at the world champs we have all the 5 Continents (6 sub-Continents, if you want to keep North and South America as 2 separate entities), 4 of them making the podium...

many weight classes have more than 100 starters (with the usual limitation to 1 per NOC! :yikes:)...

 

but they decided to give them just 10 spots per class and they didn't even allowed all 6 classes per gender to be in Tokyo...and then...bang! they killed the sport and its athletes for what? breakdancing! a non-sport activity played by a bunch of babies with street (often criminal) culture as their main background...

 

the same for skateboarding, BMX freestyle...and all the other sports where you have always the usual 5/6 participating Countries and only the usual 3 Nations winning (almost) all the medals...

 

and let's not talk about corrupted or doping inflated sports (do you know Boxing and Weightlifting?), always under threat to be dropped and actually never really in danger...

 

or what about sports where only the 2nd/3rd tier athletes are participating to the Games (any reference to men's Football and Baseball is purely intentional)...

 

moreover...they threatened to drop many sports because they're male-only oriented (causing abominable monsters like women's boxing to be included in the Olympic schedule), but they keep Artistic Swimming and Rhythmic Gymnastics well stuck into the program (and they even forbid those few men practicing Artistic Swimming to dream about an Olympic medal keeping the Mixed Duo -now an established event at the world champs- far away from the Olympics)...

 

dropping that sh*t would be an excellent decision...not dropping one of the most wide spread sport in the world...:evil::pope::wall:

well, that's your more than respectable opinion...

 

but still, it's only an opinion...;)

 

and decisions about being part of the Olympic program or not should be taken on the basis of facts and numbers, not opinions...:evil:

 

 

p.s. and if we consider breakdancing (and any other similar activity), they just have nothing to do with sport and with the Olympic Games for objective reasons...

 

moreover, putting 12 years young kids together with adult people and letting them competing one against the others is simply DISGUSTING and IMMORAL!!!!!!

 

those who just thought about such a shame should spend the rest of their lives in jail!

Let's not pretending that we don't know why Karate is not an allready established olympics sport. This is beacause of 'dancing around with your feet up and not doing much' which translates in Korean as 'Taekwondo'.

ok, if you don't know and/or don't like Karate, it's your taste...it's OK and should not be commented...

 

but denigrating it with false interpretation is not elegant at all and shouldn't be an option...:finger:

Well, yours are also opinions. ;)

Don't get me wrong, breakdancing was the most stupid decision ever (which is also an opinion) but I like most of the other sports you don't like, or you don't consider sports for that matter. But would you rather have an Olympics with only 12 events like the Ancient Olympics? That would be uninteresting.

I'm not a "huge" fan of Karate but I defend Karate when I see skateboarding or breakdancing are in the program !

 

but I don't know why people even compare karate with taekwondo !! taekwondo is about 95% kicking and 5% punching while Kaarate is about 80% punching and 20% kicking beside that in taekwondo you have to hit as hard as possible while in Karate you will get penalized if you hit hard !

 

you will find more similarities between football and handball

      it's the configuration of the building: there are a lot of outdoor spaces (more than usual), with the wind gusts going left and right, which is very tricky for the shooters (especially those used to different conditions where the scores are normally higher)

      Absolutely, there was at first all-around with 3 disciplines, where lead/boulder specialists were favorites, then it was replaced by Lead+Boulder combined, where lead specialists was favorites because of greater gaps that can be achieved in lead climbing, and now these are separate disciplines where it depends only on what each climber could do best (or who is Janja Garnbret who will win 2 golds)

      It was always going to be difficult for IOC to get new events in & stick to their 10,500  limit. I wish they could have increased it to 12,000 but they did find a way out by limiting the quota to core sports ONLY. I see that as a very positive & well thought out by both LOC & IOC.    I have mixed feelings on these changes but overall can’t complain much as it could have been worse. The good part:    1. Compound Archery will be a great addition to the programme albeit only in mixed team event. Sadly this means losing quotas from Recurve, which will make the qualification process more challenging.    2. TT events : Getting the doubles event is an excellent call plus we have a team event too . The men’s & women’s team events were so predictable. This 3 format will throw up opportunities & surprises . Most importantly it will add to the viewing experience as matches are expected to be tighter & shorter.    3. Basketball 3x3 is a growing sport & increasing the number of teams is certainly the right call. It was expected.    4. Sport climbing : The programme looks complete now & again on expected lines.   The OK part:    1. Boxing : Keeping the total quota places same & increasing a single weight class in women’s event was expected.    2. Additional swimming events : Considering the hosts for the next two olympics are swimming dominant nations. This was expected.    3. Mixed Golf : This is a good idea & will be an intresting event to watch.   The Bad part:    1. Football : if you are so worried about maintaining the quota limit why not just make both events a 12 team one. I can understand the reduction in men’s but increase the women’s team event.    2. Athletics : This change doesn’t make much sense. Perhaps an additional 🥇 for  . Why would you take away a race walking event only to replace it with another track event.    3. Tennis : I don’t like this idea of mixed team , XD was a better format for me.    4. Gymnastics: A mixed team event  will not add anything to the programme. Perhaps again a lot to do with the LOC than FIG or IOC.

      Excellent suggestion & perhaps the most logical one. I think IOC & ICC will approve on a similar format.  I would just tweak it a little bit.  I won’t give a guaranteed host quota but allot 2 quotas in Americas-Africa qualifying tournament.  Also Europe will have 1 fixed quota from their qualifying tournament.  So , it will be    1 - 2016 T20 world champions 2&3 - Asian- Oceania qualifying tournament  4&5 - Americas-Africa qualifying tournament 6- European qualifying tournament
