At the time there are not 12 good teams in the world One could argue that adding quotas would encourage nations to improve their programs, thus heightening the standard of play in women’s water polo, and increasing the number of nations involved. “Sport has the power to change the world.

We could use those quotas actually give Karate it’s full program of 2 Kata events and 10 Kumite events. Each event should only have 8 entries though, as is tradition for Karate at multi-sports games. I forgot about that. It's all corona fault and lack of events by this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,095 Posted July 5, 2020 #553 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Given that the IOC has pledged full gender equality by Paris 2024 I wouldn’t be surprised if Artistic Swimming was in some real jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "new in" is having more women competing. To the IOC gender equality only matters if its for women. Dnl, Vojthas, mrv86 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo they are just destroying the games more and more, not to offend anyone but the thought of E-sport getting a place in the games is completely revolting bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted July 31, 2020 #559 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Cross-country running is just the same athletes but with different shoes, come on. And obviously only the mixed relay World Athletics hasn't made a fool of itself enough yet? If you so desperately want to add another running event, make it trail running or something (through forests and with steep climbs and rocks and so on), at least that is definitely much different. 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!

Yeah, but that's not IAAF department if I'm not worng IOC is very supported about mixed events this days and IAAF obviously wants to use that. The same as with 4x400 before but this time is not event created specially for the olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
