Under your format I don’t see as many nations qualifying for the YOG. I also don’t think events should cut, but that quotas should be increased to 5000. Lastly, I would keep the universality spots and format and the games would be hosted by the previous Summer Olympic Games host as part of its venue legacy

I view the YOG as a more relaxed and fun Olympics, with opportunities for smaller nations and big nations to do well. I rather enjoy watching them. I am mildly pleased with the format of qualification, besides the one team rule.

I think some people are especially dumb

No, but I know she’s from the East Coast area. She’s also a very outspoken athlete about political and, more importantly, Federation issues. They had to put a gag order on her, after she revealed that our federation did not intend to fund female athletes. And the US population wonders why we aren’t able to win every sport.

Not a great day for one of our US athletes, Ashley Nee. She said that the capitol gazette shooting got to her and impacted her performance.

If anyone needs a good motivation, workout, hype, or opening ceremony song, here’s a great one:

I would imagine four-man to 25 and women’s to 25

Well, I know it will be streamed in the US on ESPN 3, but I am curious to know about other live streams since ESPN 3 won’t show everything.

I like the person who commented Watersolo, lol

Interesting, and they could be hosted in two separate places

Has anyone found out anything about live streaming for the games?

I would like to see expanded Olympics, with multiple host cities or even countries. Ideally they would last the current 19 days or longer/shorter if needed. My games would be flexible to allow them to be sustainable. I also realize that an Olympics the size and scale that I want would probably be impossible, but hey a totallympian can dream.

Well, I wasn’t counting demo sports, and is actually a rather established sport compared to jet ski

I think it was more an unwillingness of a fifth nation out a fear of being beaten badly more than finding athletes. I also think that many countries, although the Americas and Asia are far ahead of others, had or still have sexist attitudes towards women in sports. It’s a shame because women’s competitions can just as competitive or exciting to watch as a men’s competition. I would that in this case however, it is more of lack of resources for women’s programs that kept these events out. Waterskiing is also pretty expensive for low GDP and developing nations.

Now the program will include a total of 436 events, 218 for men, 195 for women, 24 are mixed

Do you have the link?

Of Course this happens right when I start to get excited by the games. I saw the results from the Waterski qualification, and only Mexico, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Dominican Rep. sent athletes, so I figured it would be cut. The team and mixed events being cut doesn’t shock me too much, except that some of them act as qualifications to the Pan Am Games. The lack of woman is sad, but unfortunately expected after a similar trend at the Mediterranean Games. The Weightlifting perplexes me, because many of these nations are strong Weightlifting countries. I am sad they had to cut this many events though, because I was ready for a mini Pan Am Games, and to see some of these events in action before the Pan Am Games. P.S: I would like to remind people that only two nations even medaled at the first edition of games. With that said I believe we should keep events on the program that have a)over three or more countries or b) are important to the expansion of women in sports or c) the event is expected to be popular in the host nation, or the host nation wants to use the event to develop interest in it. Overall the games will still large, but there will be something missing.

Good team for us

I think you mean Women’s?
