Wrestling, Golf and Rugby they are all core sports. they are all 100% safe for 2024. the only core sport which is not safe is Weightlifting. (and now boxing) they dropped wrestling once but then wrestling had a competition with some other sports like Squash to get its place back as a core sport. Oh, ok. Some sport still will likely replace boxing then. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Vojthas 947 Posted December 9, 2018 #123 Share Posted December 9, 2018 No, wrestling wasn't voted a core sport then - the 25 core sports for Tokyo 2020 were voted en bloc, as the Olympic Charter said, thus the EB proposal of voting wrestling as an additional sport together with squash and baseball/softball, with the happy end for wrestling for 2020 and 2024, as well as rugby 7 and golf were voted additional for 2016 and 2020, so they weren't proposed to core sports nor the additional sports. I checked the Olympic Charter archive - in Buenos Aires in 2013, when the Charter from 2011 was in force, there was this term of "sports core" consisting of 25 sports, this wasn't changed during Session in Buenos Aires, but the next version, from the 2015, already hasn't the term "sports core" (it was BLR 45.2 for summer and BLR 45.3 for winter). So this discussion is in fact all about history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 896 Posted January 10, 2019 Author #124 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) A few bits about Paris additionnal sports in today's l'Equipe. 5 sports max, IOC is pushing for less Domestic popularity is not a priority anymore First list will be sent by Paris 2024 next month (no more sports could be added after that), will be released during IOC next session (June). Only ~10 sports really stand a chance : The five from Tokyo, wakeboarding, squash, wushu, bowling, pétanque and billard They also confirm that additional sports will have to fit with the Paris 2024 venues map and that the additional sports quotas will have to fit under the 10 500 overall athletes quotas (Baseball beeing ) Edited January 10, 2019 by De_Gambassi thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_Gambassi 896 Posted January 10, 2019 Author #127 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Juste maintenant , heywoodu a déclaré: Yay for bowling Boooo for wushu Karate, TWD, Judo, Wushu at the same olympics. So much fun. Thankfully, I don't believe they will be chosen. Global youth appeal sounds like it will be the main critera from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small, unfortunately. They were allready small to start with, but with additional sports quotas counting in the overall sport quotas* their chances are severely reduced (or of any other team sport for that matter). The venue is also an issue. The french federation do have a plan for a national stadium, but it's in another part of Paris, it doesn't fit with other venues at all. A month ago, there was a rumour that baseball5 could be pushed over baseball/softball, probably because of these two reasons. *It won't be the case in Tokyo Edited January 10, 2019 by De_Gambassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously pétanque and billiards. Spoiler And bowling, judging by the fact we were surrounded by 95% screaming 6-year olds when going to the bowling alley a few days ago.
