Gender equality should have happened years ago, Bach did the right thing. I would have just preferred that he added female events and left the program as was, instead of cutting some male events to make it happen.
Rio 2016 failure isn’t completely his fault. We can thank Rogge for that. There are moves Bach could have made to better the Games, but he did well with what he was given by the last President I think.
Skateboard was going to be Olympic someday. I think it was a good choice by Bach and the IOC to add it now. I’ll even defend the inclusion of breakdancing. Dancesport is one of the most universally popular sports around the world. Breaking is the one discipline invented purely for competition. There’s some sense in choosing to add it. Nearly every country had b-boys/girls that tried to qualify for the 2018 YOG, and there’s not a lot of sports that can claim that. I’m sorry if the older generation of the Olympics fans don’t like it, but look at the crowds it drew in Buenos Aires. If your sport can draw more than Field Hockey or Modern Pentathlon, you definitely deserve a place on the program if they do.
Bach’s governance leaves a lot to be desired, but has made some good decisions as well.
