phelps 6,855 Posted September 10, 2019 #71 Share Posted September 10, 2019 frankly I don't know why they still keep this event in the program...once it's been thrown out of the Olympics, it was clear that it was dead and gone... fuc*in' IOC and ISSF!

Considering how the other two cut events are still surviving (though badly beaten) I think it was the right decision in the end. An event should in theory be able to survive without the Olympics.

An event should in theory be able to survive without the Olympics. Especially if it ever wants to get back. I'm gonna keep hoping the only shooting event I really like gets back on the program some day..

Similarly, in Pistol also, there was a decent amount of shooters doing the double of 50m and 10m. I blame ISSF more regarding the death of Double Trap. They could have kept the three dropped events in their WC and ensured that those events don't die. But with ISSF also dropping those events from WC, what incentive do the shooters have to continue to pursue those events? Other events can still have decent fields but Double Trap is the worst hit.

C2 died an instantaneous death, and C2 Mixed isn’t exactly taking off. Tandem died after the 60s. It’s just a shame. I really put the blame on international federations. They fostered these athletes careers for years and killed them in seconds. Col_Frost and hckošice 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
