It's good that at least there will be no indoor sports in the winter at the Olympics, apart from sports on ice. -
I think they are already building a Diamond stadium for Baseball for the Brisbane Games, so I will wonder that it would be already spoken... -

race walking has cooked itself by becoming more and more a farce because of incompetent, biased and sometimes corrupted judging -
Golf debuting in Rio was... unfortunate because it required actually building a venue. Golf in 2020, 2024, 2028 and 2032 are all using existing venues that required no or very minor renovations. So I suspect it's pretty safe. It's a similar situation to tennis, building a venue is very expensive but most cities that would host the Olympics already have an adequate venue nearby. My understanding is that Olympic golf has actually been doing pretty good numbers ratings wise, at least in the US. -

Don't remember that. If IOC faces legal challenges on top of the internal politics... Yeah, good luck to cut anything. -
2000 yes, but mainly and was also even provisionally excluded from the Athens 2004 games program, but our NOC joined a lobby coallition with French Canoe federation, went to the court and succeeded to maintain it at the games. -

Will have hidden consequences for the number of athletes competing in each discipline and the numbers of medals awarded, that is what is worrying. Also, the other long term argument is: Who owns the sports at the Olympics? The federations that run them, or the IOC? At the moment this is a big powergrab by the IOC. -

Another exemple. Canoe slalom was supposed to be excluded for the 1996 or 2000 games (don't remember), not the whole canoeing sport. But really, having the commission chaired by a guy coming from one of the sport/discipline the most at risk (plus a couple of members from the commission also coming from other at risk sport/discipline) is the best argument that nothing substantial will come out of it. For a century, every IOC president has pledged at some point to review and cut the program left and right. No one succeeded. -
not sure why people got so excited about this "separating disciplines" things. Freestyle and Greco were always separate disciplines in IOC documents. nothing new and any news saying the UWW is trying to develop women's Greco is garbage and should be disregarded. there is no such a thing. they have an idea about developing the beach wrestling (which is indeed a terrible idea) in case they have to add more women's events (or replace men's events with women's events) but that's a long shot. nobody took beach wrestling seriously so far. I'm hearing about this since I was a kid and actually I was reading an old newspaper from 1960 (more or less) saying the same thing about the Greco at this moment men's Greco is more popular and diverse than men's freestyle around the world. men's freestyle is easily dominated by 4 countries. -
How is golf rated? Was it a success? In Brazil, nobody (or probably very few people) cares about it, but I suppose it's popular in many countries?
