In Spain male Rhytmic Gymnastics is already developed. There are national championships with a lot of participants since a few years ago.

Take that up with FIG who refuses to make a men's rhythmic event, just like UWW refuses to make a women's Greco-Roman event. FINA can see the writing on the wall and is developing mixed duet in artistic swimming which will likely allow it to survive in the coming years.

Federer91 2,114 Posted August 11, 2021 #1053 Share Posted August 11, 2021 No one wants men's rhythmic gymnastics, or synchronized swimming for that part... They are perfectly fine being women only events. And there should be no problem with that. Just like there shouldn't be any problem with wrestling and boxing having more men's events. But these conversations get more and more absurd with every passing Olympics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,095 Posted August 11, 2021 #1055 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I mean I, for one, would very much like to see the FIG embrace men's rhythmic gymnastics. It's actually a sport I wanted to try out as a kid but was told I couldn't do for reasons. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 169 Posted August 11, 2021 #1056 Share Posted August 11, 2021 They could probably add a mixed team event to Artistic Gymnastics but fitting all the apparatus in at the same time would be challenging. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows a much clearer picture of where rhythmic gymnastics stands and how it fits in the so-called "gender equality" proposal. I am one of the only ones here who likes the idea to push gender equality, but I was worried about how the IOC is going to make it work. This document explains things a lot better. I honestly don't think anyone here seriously has a problem with trying to reach gender equality, the main issue is with how they're going about it and which things are being thrown away and replaced left and right. 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!

heywoodu 13,504 Posted August 12, 2021 #1060 Share Posted August 12, 2021 By the way, only 329 events by the looks of it? So things get added, which means more than 10 events will be dropped compared to Tokyo? Eight of those coming from karate, one being the 50k, baseball/softball....what else?
