So in athletics for example only 'the 100m', no men's 100m or women's 100m, but an open 100m where both women and men can compete (and so on for each and every discipline/event)? Then you've got full equality and no terribly unfair splits between men and women anymore, right? Hello equestrian! Both mixed gender athletes and horses. Seriously though, I'm glad FEI solved all gender equality issues by the early 1960s... No need to pay "old debts" that so many other sports have done today. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konig 1,283 Posted June 9, 2017 #466 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The most part of the changes are a dissaster for me, its only good the 800m (M) & 1500m (W), Cycling (Track) Madison and the Fencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although road cycling is in trouble, where the most doping cases are coming from.

dcro 10,172 Posted June 9, 2017 #469 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It's a sad day really, but always gonna happen with this Agenda 2020 nonsense. Swimming - Seriously, another freestyle event?! So Ledecky going for 4 individual golds in Tokyo... No comment on mixed gender relay nonsense. Archery - Same old mixed gender. At least this event is being held at the biggest stage for a while now. Athletics - Another pop-up mixed gender event that doesn't even exist at this point. Basketball - 3x3 with 8 teams per gender. Boxing - I guess transfer of weights is fine. But please don't still have 12 athletes per women's weights. Canoe - Women's canoe events are joke at this point, let's be honest. Cycling BMX - Perhaps the worst addition, hard to choose really. Cycling Track - Madison is fine, but women's event at this year's Worlds was unbearable with like 2-3 competitive teams and everyone else hitting the deck. Fencing - At least they found logic somewhere. Judo - Another pop-up mixed gender event Rowing - Women's fours will be pretty much like eights with B teams (or the other way around). Sailing - Just another change of class, nothing new for sailing. Shooting - Awful day continues. Table tennis - I guess mixed doubles might work actually. Should be opened to everyone. Triathlon - Might work actually. Weightlifting - They had it coming. Really disappointed to see the cuts in athletics and swimming. Small nations are gonna pay for that. hckošice 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
