(one should hope so) Ha, it's just waiting until someone comes up with the idea of deleting some awesome shooting events and replacing them with some sort of weird mixed competition If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Jur 506 Posted April 8, 2017 #334 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It would be priceless to see the faces of shooting, rowing and canoeing if the IOC accepted all of FINAs proposals after they had to change pre existing olympic events to fit the IOC rules.

Jur 506 Posted April 8, 2017 #339 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Of all the proposed things, I personally aproved: - High Diving, pretty spectacular sport, and fits with this new "young and spectacular" theme that IOC wants. - More than 8 teams in women's waterpolo. But I think with 10 teams would be enough. - The mixed shooting events look interesting - The rowing boat change. - Two more women's boxing. - Mixed syncrro duet - Madison. (Actually I would dig ANY change in the track events) I'm not so into 3x3 basketball or BMX freestyle thing but I can see them getting added due to IOC wanting to aproach to younger audiences. And the Triathlon relay I would accepted only if there's not a mandatory order from them to take place. It should be free. I wouldn't mind table tennis events to be Doubles rather than teams, but it should be one or the other. And I wouldn't mind either if they change women's 800m freestyle to 1500, and so they do the same as men. Mixed events in taekwondo, judo and pentathlon sounds like a joke. And no need for swimming programe to get bigger. I don't think Wieightlifting is in the position to ask for another event, they should drop one of men's weigths. Mixed archery, meh, not impresed but the fact that don't need new quotas could help them getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkbw50 381 Posted April 8, 2017 #340 Share Posted April 8, 2017 New events Archery: But using bazookas Athletics: Race walk on a protest staring Kendall Jenner Badminton: Shuttlecock renamed 'shuttlevagina' for feminism Baseball: Powerups like Mario Super Sluggers Basketball: Every team is just made up of five USA players Beach volleyball: All the players are naked Boxing: Replaced with UFC Canoeing - Slalom: There are no longer any boats Canoeing - Sprint: There is no longer any water Cycling - BMX: Some mad freestyle eve- wait, this is real? Oh. Cycling - Mountain Bike: Athletes no longer have a bike, and only have rations for 2 months, to start a fire, and no emergency contact Cycling - Road: There are still cars on the road, so the athletes have to be mindful of traffic Cycling - Track: The biggest race in Olympic history: 1,000 athletes (all at the same time) - what could go wrong? Diving: It's now from the biggest sky scraper in the host nation Equestrian: No more outdated horses. For animal rights, the teams have two hours to make a Papier-mâché horse and use that Fencing: It's now going to be a medieval swordfight Field hockey: You get points for hitting your apponent with the stick Football: Now a full-age competition that everybody in football respects LOL HAHA JUST KIDDING it's one of those stupid 'freestyle football' competitions Golf: It's on a volcano à la Mario Golf Gymnastics - Artistic: It's now a twerking competition Gymnastics - Rhythmic: They throw the ball and play cricket using the clubs - throwing through the hoops as an impromptu wicket and the ribbon as the crease Gymastics - Trampoline: If an athlete does badly, the trampoline is removed before they land Handball: You can now use your feet Judo: It's now an "artistic judo" contest, where you have to be the most stylish no matter who wins Karate: It's the most stereotypical karate match ever, with all participants armed with ninja throwing starts to appeal to youth Modern Penathlon: League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, FIFA 17, Rocket League, Pokémon Sun/Moon Rowing: All teams have no paddles Rugby Sevens: There is now 1 player on each team Sailing: It lasts 3 months on a voyage to Australia. It doesn't matter where the host nation is, it will always mysteriously last 3 months and be to Australia anyway Shooting: It's now for Black Lives Matter, participants have to dress up as policeman and shoot unarmed black people. Unfortunately, real people are used for some reason. Skateboarding: (It's in the Olympics in the first place lol) "Woah dude. That kickflip was gnarly" - The commentators will say that even if it's unrelated to a kickflip Softball: It's now a men only sport and baseball is a women's only sport Sport Climbing: The sea level slowly rises, meaning if you take too long you'll drown Surfing: Remember Club Penguin? Yeah. That. Swimming: Now with added sharks! Table Tennis: No table, now you just get points by hitting your opponent with the ball Taekwondo: Athletes will now be those stupid weeaboos that think everything Japanese is cool and will bring body pillows, then run away before the fight Tennis: The women where dresses but no underwear in a shameless attempt to get viewers, the IOC explain why this is actually pro-feminism Triathlon: Jousting, Hotdog eating, and The Suicide Race - The athletes did not know they meant actual suicide Volleyball: The net is now 20 metres high, all the time the athletes are on really wobbly ladders. Fifteen die, thirty-six wounded Water Polo: Now you HAVE to make your feet touch the ground, at all times Weightlifting: All done by douchebag gymlads that look stupid when they completely overestimate their lifting ability Wrestling: Anything is legal, like chair throwing, punching, and concealing a weapon and shooting the opponent konig, DaniSRB and Gianlu33 3 As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
