JoshMartini007 2,204 Posted August 13, 2021 #1121 Share Posted August 13, 2021 On paper shooting is probably the most competitive sport if it became an open event (besides equestrian). In fact it was an open event for a while before women got their own events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely unrealistic, but you never know when FIG is going to do something stupid. It's basically the Homer Simpson of international federations: if you watch long enough, you will see it doing something really stupid. I just mentioned floor and vault because there's no way FIG would remove pommel horse and parallel bars, so floor and vault are the apparatus that are "repeated" in women's artistic gymnastics, so I guess it would be somehow easier to justify their exclusion because they would still be part of the Olympic program, but restricted to women, instead? Anyway, just a bunch of crazy theories that won't happen... Hopefully. heywoodu and intoronto 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I can't see the IOC being very hard on the FIG, after all its one of the big 3 sports. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Whitlock was asked on Instagram yesterday if he thinks a mixed team event will come one day to Gymnastics and he said it would be an interesting idea.
