JoshMartini007 2,313 Posted July 26, 2021 #91 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Skateboarding can stay, but it does need to revamp its format as I mentioned before. I'm more upset with how the IOC tricked World Skate into submitting skateboarding. They basically strongly hinted that if they took over as the international federation for skateboarding then they may also accept speed roller skating as well and then they went nope and only accepted skateboarding. Of course, that's not skateboarding's fault... pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad karate will be gone after Tokyo, and I hope sports climbing is the next one to go. There are also other sports, like wrestling and badminton, that I wouldn't be sad if they were the next ones to go, either. You see, it's impossible to create a program that will make the whole world happy. Baseball/softball have no point of existing (as an Olympic sport) in their present form and I'm glad they aren't on the program in Paris. While I have no doubt that surfing will stay in both LA and Brisbane the jury is still out for me whether they can do it in a TV watchable format. This night I will try to watch it again now it has commentary on ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the majority people on earth prefer karate over skateboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, no, this forum is not a reliable source for anything. We have a bunch of sports fanatics, some with very conservative and retrograde ideas, and most of whom deliberately promote a sports agenda that would benefit their own nation -- and, in this last topic, I include myself, since my opinion is not unbiased in any manner.

Which means it's not exactly new for anyone who follows Winter OG. I assume Brazilians don't actually watch winter Olympics all that much hence they don't realize the "own thing" isn't exactly the case. The BBC uses the same commentator for both sports which seems to support your argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
