UWW has now 18 medal events. How about: 4 men's freestyle 4 men's greco-roman 2 mens beach 6 women's freestyle 4 women beach If they used the same athletes from Freestyle to Beach, I don't think IOC would oppose to giving them 2 more events so they'll have same events per gender.

Give me coastal rowing, more race walking and High Diving and keep everything else, please and thank u.

There was talk about droping lightweight events in rowing and replacing them with Coastal Rowing, I would absolutely LOVE. Also the new sailing event that was aproved seemed dope. I hope those changes happend. Some events added last time where a mistake: swimming 1500 and 800, mixed judo team, even BMX freestyle witch I love seems out of place with that short field.... I hope they get ride of those. And I migth be controversial but I wouldn't mind the six team events in fencing getting droped and just do a all around team event for each gender. Also team Eventing and Dressage add nothing to the table. Drop them and cut quotas: Two horses per country in each event max. Also, I would rather had 2 per country in athletics than them droping any event. And in cycling Men's road race field is way to big and absurd, cut a lot of quotas from there.

I just realized taht all of this means we get an extra year of 50km race walking

July is perfect for me, since I don't have to work or study. Better than spring.

Nursing homes in Spain are one of the biggest centers of infections....

Apparently it comes from Samaranch Jr. (IOC member)

Spanish press is saying the IOC would anounce today the delay of the games.

Quota for in -52kg for whenever the games are going to happend!

That was just dumb.

The match between and got me sweating, amazing start by Gazi but the ned boxer made a comeback and an impressive 3rd round got me nervous. Happy got the win at the end.

That only happens in Catalonia, and I don't think it's a sport, is more like art I would say.... just a folklore thing, not competition.

I was tempted to put and as former Spanish colonies to represent Oceania, but I didn't want to look like a Colonializer asshole

BILBAO 2022 First season of the Ibero-luso-american Games. PARTICIPATING COUNTRYS: It's a bit of Iberoamericans meets Lusophone Games meets former spanish colonies.

I'm doing this out of boredom.

Well, the spanish federation decided not to send several boats to the World Championships and have them focusing instead in the final qualification regatta......

It's March 13, even if the french race is canceled he still has plenty of time to get a 20km decent race. But, however, reading the "panic" around him I don't think he knows his 2018 europeans count for the ranking....

Now that I'm looking his case, I don't think he'll even need a 50km race. If I'm not mistaken, the 2018 Europeans count for the olympic ranking. And he was second there with a great mark. So just doing a decent 20KM would allow him to enter easily by ranking.

I don't think you need any qualifiying mark for that event, so it shouldn't be a problem if the slovak federation wants to send him there.

Can't he compite at the world team race walking championships? They aren't cancelled yet.

The guy from lost

in another sport?? Great!!

Catalonia (and some of the mediterranean) is interesting, the north is pretty and green, and the south is very culturaly rich and has amazing arab influence; but everything inbetween (including Madrid) is bland and boring. That's why I think Summer Olympics are a big reach. Madrid has no iconic monument, interesting landscape or special athmosphere, so it would look very random and with no personality. Other citys like Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza and Bilbao are more beautiful and interesting and they could hold smaller events like European Games and do an amazing job... Or even Madrid. But just not the Olympics.

I just think Madrid is ugly and a non-interesting city to host the Summer Olympics.

So what kind of Olympics are those if each sport is in one diferent country? Spain should stop all those Olympic ambitions and settle for something smaller and more realistic, like European Games or Youth Olympics.
