Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Sports Programme

[Olympian1010 8,230]

A few pages back @intoronto posted the quota cuts from Tokyo 2020 to Paris 2024, but I came across a table depicting the same info from Rio 2016 to Tokyo 2020 today, so I thought it’d be interesting to look at the quota cuts from Rio 2016 to Paris 2024.

 

Aquatics: -80 quotas (Swimming: -48 quotas, Water Polo: -18 quotas, Artistic Swimming: -8 quotas, Open Water Swimming: -6 quotas)

Athletics: -195 quotas 

Basketball: +64 quotas (Basketball 3x3: +64 quotas)

Boxing: -34 quotas 

Canoeing: -10 quotas (Canoe Sprint: -10 quotas)

Cycling: -15 quotas (Mountain Bike: -8 quotas, Road Cycling: -31 quotas, BMX Freestyle: +24 quotas)

Gymnastics: -6 quotas (Artistic Gymnastics: -4 quotas, Rhythmic Gymnastics: -2 quotas)

Judo: -14 quotas

Rowing: -48 quotas 

Sailing: -50 quotas

Shooting: -50 quotas

Weightlifting: -132 quotas

Wrestling: -56 quotas

Rowing/Shooting/Sailing look like the "punching bags" by the IOC besides the obvious ones. Wouldn't be shocking to see continued declines through 2028.

EB confirmed that the 50 k race walk will be replaced by a mixed-gender team event in race walking

 

Disgusting !

Is there any difference in a team event or will they just take the time of the 4th fastest person (or combined the time of the four people). Like at least with relays there is a baton pass.

We want baton pass in this as well. Basically an epic 200km race walk.

I wouldn't mind something similar to the Madison race in cycling where the team can split how much of the race each member completes (maybe have a minimum to ensure everyone competes)

There’s no set format as of yet. The finalized format will be presented to the IOC EB at their December 2021 meeting.
