Also, sports like triathlon and pentathlon can have two athletes per NOC because they only have two individual events, not four like Canoe Slalom. It really is that simple. You can bet that IOC likes slalom canoe much more than pentathlon, the former is far more entertaining to watch and I am sure its ratings during the Games are much higher.

This is absolutely normal for like 90% of summer sports. There is simply not enough space for everyone within the 10,500 athletes maximum.

Multiple entries per NOC in slalom are not coming back... Ever. Deal with it.

 

And why should they? Just compare the results from Athens 2004 (the last time two entries per NOC were allowed), to Rio 2016. Limiting the number of entries per NOC quite literally allowed this sport to grow.

The sprint version is using the same venue as rowing, it will never be removed. And slalom canoe is visually interesting, and it's actually gaining events with the extreme slalom. There's no reason to think that it's in any danger, a discipline was never removed for being too European, and it never will. 

which is a farce like breakdance (maybe even more than that)...:facepalm: :wall:

From the little I have seen from it, it looks exciting and chaotic, which is probably what IOC wants more of at the Games.

I don't like extreme slalom for the same reason I don't really like short track, ski cross, snowboard cross and so on. Overtaking is nearly impossible (extreme slalom is an extreme case of this). And when it actually happens, 50% of the time it gets reversed/adjusted after the race. Ugh.

I'd rather turn my TV off than watching something like that...:hairpull:

 

it's something good for those Japanese crazy TV shows like Takheshi's Castle...

You joke now, but I am sure IOC would like to have an event like American Ninja Warrior at the Games if there was an opportunity for it. These weird sport competitions attract more viewers than most traditional sport events.

Nope ...

At the 2016 Olympics triathlon had clearly more athletes than slalom canoeing despite only having half the number of events. Also slalom canoeing only had slightly more athletes than modern pentathlon. At the Tokyo Olympics it will be the same. The truth is the IOC randomly decides that in some sports a nation can have 3 athletes per event and in other sports they can‘t. There is absolutely no reason why the Netherlands or Norway can have 3 athletes per event in speed skating/cross-country while nations can’t even have 2 athletes per event in slalom canoeing where no nation is remotely as dominant as the Netherlands/Norway are in speed skating/cross-country.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

      Shooting ISSF World Cup 2025

      so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
