Surfing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

First time watching. 20 minutes of waves scenery (which is great stuff) but didnt see many action here beside that.

I will give it a chance in future but not impressed today.

Paris2024 has to "save" this with Tahiti, because if they can't with that location...

 

At least skateboarding can maybe improve by becoming more of an Olympic sport, surfing on the hand... I don't know how you can make this a watchable event that has a right to stay in the Olympics.

I mean, you could hold surfing in a wave pool, which produces rideable waves at predictable times (the format of surfing contests is completely different in a wave pool). The problem is that you lose a lot of the skills important skills of the sport when you take the sport out of the ocean.

 

I duno, I think surfing is fine as is. Not every sport has to be super exciting to watch live. There are plenty of other Olympic sports that have long periods where nothing exciting happens anyway.

It's sort of meditative to have on in the background, but the issue is that in a half hour of waiting for anything to happen, the thing that happens is suddenly over in 5 seconds, so if you don't pay attention enough, you miss all the bits of action all the time :p

I expect that plenty of people here who don't come from countries with  ocean coastline beaches and an accompanying surfing culture   ( that includes all but about 4 European countries  ) don't approve of surfing being on the programme 

 

But I'm sure  they have no problem with  snow sports especially mountain snow sports being Olympic events  and don't give a thought to those from countries which don't have the climate and terrain  for these sports 

 

Just an observation

The problem is that the other "boring" sports have a long legacy at the Games, so there's no question about that they should stay in the program. Surfing on the other hand was added to the program to reach a new audience and I would be very surprised if they succeeded at that because this might be the worst broadcast of the entire Games.

Don't compare the Winter and Summer Games. The Winter Games don't have any issues with limited number of athletes quotas because it's still a smaller event compared to the Summer Games. The inclusion of surfing (as the inclusion of any new sport) means that the number of athlete quotas get reduced in other sports. And I say this as someone from a country who definitely don't benefit from additional Winter Olympic events.

    • Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. 
    • That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online. 
    • Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier).   12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb.
    • Some sports have qualification systems   3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting
    • In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports.
