I can't speak for any government, but I don't think state sponsored doping is part of the agenda here, like it would be in China.

I didn't quote this article more than once. You have yet to address Shiwen's performance being better than a male swimmers.

Its facts. Shiwen's time was faster than the greatest MALE swimmer of all time. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/faster-than-phelps-chinese-girls-mighty-finish-is-the-talk-of-the-games-20120730-23a6w.html.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/oct/23/wada-china-doping-allegations-xue-yinxian Lets not forget Yi Shiwen's performance in 2012 was clearly drug induced as well. Is it no surprise China increased funding to WADA? https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101523/wada-addiotional-gov-funding so Wada doesn't bite the hand that feeds it?

Hope WADA focuses on China next

https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1102075/sport-climbing-santiago-2023-debut Now confirmed

Yea... I think these games should only be for sports/disciplines not on the main Asian Games.program.

Qualification system for Oregon 2022: https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-championships/oregon22/news/press-releases/qualifying-systems-approved-for-world-athletics-championships-oregon22-and-world-athletics-u20-championships-nairobi-21? Field events are restricted now lol, probably because of Natan Rivera.

Would be nice to see another country challenge the top 3...

will be debuting in the mixed world events next year

lol Aiba has elected a Russian as president. Never change AIBA

What is the diff. Between ski flying and jumping?

Roller sports/climbing are listed as one, are they going to do both to earn medals? lol also, Netball giving 2 bronze medals strange

"the ISSF informed the IOC Executive Board that the most of the ISSF Executive Committee members, members of the Athletes Committee and Shotgun Committee were in favor of the Skeet Mixed Team to be included into the 2024 Games program." https://www.issf-sports.org/news.ashx?newsid=3512 So why was trap proposed in the first place?

You are starting to sound like a certain German

My comment was made in jest hence the emoji at the end. Belarus matters and happy to see the IOC take action here. The order of the announcements yesterday could have been better.

Which is what the IOC likely will raise with World Sailing.... and lead to it not making the program

Canada's Olympic trials will be timed finals only. Not sure what to think about that

Likely White Russia's neighbour, Russia proper will replace them. Can't wait for Putin to invite Lukashenko lol

rip Baseball/softballs' quota is more than all of the four sports Paris 2024 proposed. Even though LA is hosting 2028, I highly doubt baseball/softball have any chance

Gender equality and so more "urban" events can be held

This mixed team is a fallacy. How does it give women more events when men are also competing? If you do not want to add athletes, you add events or transfer them over simple as that. Agenda 2020 although successful in some areas, this gender equality is not there. Women are not competing in some events, and men as well. That is not gender equality.

Swimming loses 26 quotas (rip more tripartie quotas) Marathon swimming loses 3 per gender (6 total) Artistic swimming loses 8 spots Athletics loses 90!! quotas Canoeing lost 10, not 12 Cycling freestyle goes from 9 to 12 per gender MB loses 2 per gender Cycling road loses 17 spots total Men lose 40 spots, women gain 23 wow!! Track sees 4 men's spots transferred to women Artistic gymnastic loses 2 per gender, rhythmic loses 2 Judo loses 14 Rowing loses 24 Sailing loses 20 Shooting loses 20 These are the changes not announced in the PC.

Looks like greco-roman survived lol full program here: https://stillmedab.olympic.org/media/Document Library/OlympicOrg/News/2020/12/Paris-2024-Event-Programme.pdf#_ga=2.139958832.2030797287.1607356979-31262895.1600389726

" - 1 new skeet mixed team event in shooting to replace the trap mixed team event." Already removing their mixed team events lo
