Griff88 1,729 Posted July 14, 2021 #12 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Gender equality? Let's not kid ourselves. Men's rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming haven't been added yet... Olympionikes and Monzanator 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,128 Posted July 14, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 14, 2021 To be fair, personally I do not find it as bad. A oath with 1 male and 1 female is ok. I think this should have been used much earlier. In other hand I do not agree with the "forcing" M+W flagbearer thing, the NOC should have the right to decide itself who, how many and why they want to pick as their flagbearer(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Men and women somehow have different fair-play standards or what? What's next? Tennis matches having a male and a female head umpire? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see anything wrong in this, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
