NearPup 2,156 Posted June 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Out: Modern Pentathlon In: Squash If forced to pick 3: Out: boxing, weightlifting In: cricket, softball I also think Climbing, Skateboarding and Surfing should be permanent additions. They are low cost, require few athletes, have very well developed professional circuits, have high participation numbers and have the potential to reach a new audience.

Fly_like_a_don 925 Posted June 28, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted June 28, 2021 For me : Skateboarding- Sepaktakraw (Men's and Women's Regu, Mixed Doubles) easy pick since skateboarding is played by lesser nations and is very booooring . I might turn off my TV if it appears anyhow I'm confident such nonsense won't be shown even if 4 channels will be live with 4 sports. Modern Pentathlon - Kabaddi. Both are very old sports with the latter more exciting. Artistic Swimming - Cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,201 Posted June 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Out: shooting, artistic swimming and field hockey In: expand the quotas in a lot of other sports. Add sports: softball. The rest can be host sport quotas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 4,769 Posted June 28, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Out: Basketball 3x3 Karate Skateboarding In: Darts (same format as World Cup or similar to that) Bowls Bowling Would love to see squash and snooker there too but I think I would be genuinely more excited by the other 3.

phelps 6,782 Posted June 28, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2021 3 is just too few... my list is way bigger... OUT: Artistic Swimming, Trampoline & Rhythmic Gymnastics, Equestrian Dressage, Boxing, Weightlifting (only because of doping issues), 3X3 Basketball, Skateboarding, BMX Cycling (at least the freestyle events)... IN: Squash, T20 Cricket, Water Ski (Slalom & Jumping only) & Wakeboard (Tricks only)...and the remaining quota places to increase the traditional sports, which have been cut so much to become a farce with no more than 6/7 starters...

Given the physical nature of the sport how would you fit a 15 man a side rugby competition into the 16 days of the OG? Also it comes up against the issue that golf and tennis face that the OG would not be regarded as the peak of the sport as it is in Sevens.
