I'm not somehow especially convinced of these sports like synchronized swimming, it has an artistic charm, but it has no future since even no TV (at least in Poland until the current championships) shows their world cup or world championships. I will say more due to the fact that I'm a devil on niche sports turns me when, for example, there were recently the Polish championships in trampoline jumping, and in the largest Polish SPORT newspaper (Przegląd Sportowy) there was no mention of the results of this event. I do not demand a relationship, but let them at least write the results from the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
t is equally strange for me that athletes under the age of 18 start at the games. Of course, he does not discriminate against any talent here and there is no one specifically in mind. However, I would make it clear that a player who has reached the senior age can represent his country. After entering the skatebording program, or are we talking about disciplines where gymnastic fitness is required (synchronic swimming, etc.), and we also hear more and more loudly about the entry of breakdancing, this boundary will be strongly shaken. The fact that in dance or skateboard etc. for physical fitness over the age of 25, but for me sick that 11-year-old or someone of a similar age would win the Olympic medal.
In a moment someone will say that competitors in the middle or advanced age start in horse riding or shooting. However, the division into seniors, juniors and juniors is used for a reason. Yes, I see it and I know that these are very controversial theses, but this is my opinion and I am ready for dialogue on your part.
