I'd bring in all of the above, the more the merrier! When you say other sports, if you mean a new sport being brought in altogether then I'd  like to see Darts and Squash in there, their tournament style formats lend themselvles to the Olympics. If you mean a new discipline in an existing sport that hasn't already been mentioned then I think they should add team events to the golf programme, whether it be Men's, women's and/or mixed.

That reminds me, I made a topic a while back where you can present your own programme.

I'm currently working on the template for a 2022 version. Will be interesting to see how things have changed.

Uh, why does this poll appear in a window?

Any events of existing sports you think should be in the summer programme?

Not even the US president can’t the difference between Sweden and Switzerland 

 

@hckošice not only Slovakia has this problem with Slovenia. I feel you about this.

Embarrassing, but to be fair, how many Europeans can place all the US states correctly?  

It's 2022 and still technical issues happen at major championships.  

Waiting for the final score in Mixed Team but it looks like France  with a silver here. French aquatics doesn't look too bad after all on the road to Paris (though in a non-Olympic event)!

UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann said: “UIPM has undertaken a comprehensive and transparent process to transform Modern Pentathlon into one of the most popular, accessible and exciting sports on the Olympic programme.

At least now modern pentathlon is "one of the most popular" Olympic sports.  

Yeah, and somebody used to say Italian sport is dying.

It isn't at worlds so I'm not surprised at all.

Yeah, I meant in general.

Am I the only person surprised there's no mixed relay in CC skiing?

Totally not on my radar that Ponti won bronze in 100m Butterfly in Tokyo.

But it is indoors & played in the winter.

Well, I belong to the "winter sports = snow and ice" faction and the more events for the Summer Games, the better.

Why not make it a winter event?

It's not contested on ice or snow, isn't it?

well, this is certainly a shocking and hardly believable success. I guess the competition level was really poor, or is the kid a sort of some real hidden gem nobody in this country discovered yet ?

Well, Hosny  lifted 11kg more in total three weights lower in -89kg, just for comparison.

@hckošice

Vladimir Macura wins the +102kg weight.  

Italy, England, France probably don't seem to give a crap about this.

Tenishia Thornton  wins -55kg Snatch, C&J and Overall. Refreshing to see.

It did help. Win against Azerbaijan.  

Hey, will you be continuing those soonish?

Is this the Alcaraz so many people talking about? Sorry he doesn’t convince me. 

Yeah, good thing for me I'm not watching.

It's coming too fast for him, hopefully next year. 

So either a Norwegian or a Dane in the semifinal.  

Zverev always gets easy draws towards QF/SF.  

After the Winter Olympics and a longer break, I'd up for a new season of my quiz in the near future.
I wonder if there's some interest again.
