Federer91 2,134 Posted December 11, 2016 #243 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The only sport that should have a mixed event is weightlifting, especially if it's no hands weightlifting. Spoiler heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jur 509 Posted December 11, 2016 #244 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Well, I don't mind team events at all, if the make a relay or at least minimun sense, witch the judo one doesn't make any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it don't watch Because with IOC putting cap on total medals and athletes, it is a Zero-Sum-Game. These events are coming at the expense of other events which are already there.

And most importantly, they come at the expense of more competitive, more historical and more prestiged events, which devalues the whole sport. I don't want to say it, but many of the changes seem to be just for the political correctness. OlympicIRL, mrv86, intoronto and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,202 Posted December 17, 2016 #249 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I am okay with mixed events if current events are not cut. Also adding more women's events just to become neutral is just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jur 509 Posted December 17, 2016 #250 Share Posted December 17, 2016 There's sport where matching the program between men and women is natural, because the level is high. Adding the C1 Women's slalom just for equality is stupid, not only for the obvious lack of high level, but because the cut of the C2 men's event. And that's only one example. However, I would love to see the men's boxing cut to add more weigth's to the women. That's so universal I really feel like a joke only 3 woman category's.... konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
