Right, the IOC has implemented some awful polices. Most of the events added to the last coupes Olympics wouldn’t be bad if:
 
A) Gender equality was achieved by adding women’s events, without reducing the number of men’s events.
B) Quotas weren’t cut to save costs, instead the IOC made institutional changes to decrease costs, lower corruption, and improve the overall world view of the organization.
C) The IOC made the processes for adding sports/disciplines/events more transparent. 
D) The IOC held IFs accountable for issues like corruption, lack of athlete representation, etc.

"men's field could allow the women's team sprint to grow from a two to three-rider competition - in line with the men's."
 
5 team men's sprint in 2028!! What a worldwide global competition..

Makes perfect sense for a pairs boat to go less of a distance than the singles' boats 

What a scary thought, can we delete the last two posts so we don't give any ideas out the IOC may see lol

-Each sport at a minimum must include one mixed event and probably some other ridiculous rules...

12 out of 500...
 
500*transport*food*beds etc. Would imagine there would be savings, but cutting athletes, which make a part of the games makes 0 sense too me. What should be cut are things like "baskets of seasonal fruit' for each IOC member... etc.

Can't wait for the mixed penalty shootout event in Football.

Atr reports k1200 is confirmed dropped from Paris program .....
 
Rip

So, athletics may have another new event? What this time? Mixed NOC mixed gender 4x333m hurdles relay?

A simple google search would show there are many ski resorts/courses in the Uk. Its serious enough of a sport, that it won the same amount of medals India won in Rio, an event with more than double the events. I would focus on your country first, arguably the worst sporting nation, before commenting on others.

Today is 9/9/99 in the Persian calendar. to me it doesn't mean anything special. but believe it or not there are "so many" people trying to have their babies exactly today. and that means early C-section

in middle of a pandemic and all other disasters we are facing nowadays  I don't know what you will gain in your life by having a "Luxury Birth Date" , there is no limit for stupidity

but are they serious or what?   
 
more and more disgusted by the ioc and by the world federations...
 
they're just making a joke of themselves and of the olympics...
 
I feel more and more that I'm wasting my life following this sh*t...

And now we know what the ITU proposed: 
 

Oh, you mean “the seasonal pastry to be presented to each IOC member upon entry into the country.” How the hell would we have Olympics without those measures!?! 
 
If the fridges weren’t “all filled with Coca Cola products,” the Olympic Games would immeasurably damaged forever!
 
What insane, outlandish reform will you propose next! Letting people use cards other than Visa to pay for Olympic goods? 
 
“No. Sports, athletes, and spectators must be cut from the Olympic Games if they are too survive.” said the IOC member while trying his second golden watch (got to have one for each hand).

I wonder how much money the host will save by having less 12 athletes in the games village! 10 billion dollars I assume or maybe 20 billions

Losing 12 isn't so bad... but wtf @ no new events with no new athletes?
 
Bach needs to go

Olympic Games will become a circus

Extreme slalom is a relatively new discipline to canoe, but it’s thrilling head-to-head format has attracted new fans and strong television ratings since its introduction to the ICF world cups and world championship programmes.
 
I almost peed myself laughing when I read it. linguists need to be informed quickly that the word strong has taken on a new meaning (yep impressive amount of more than 250 followers during the extreme slalom world cup race)
