Where the men and women's are dropped in favour for one mixed competition I can see this happening. It would open up a lot of places, while at the same time easily allow 16 nations to take part in all team sports. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted December 4, 2020 #660 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I love gymnastics, but this is not the right time to ask for more disciplines to be included in the Olympics. As far as I know, disciplines must have regular continental championships in three continents to justify inclusion. Aerobics and acrobatics follow this rule, but not parkour. I mean, a World Championship event in parkour has not even been competed yet, for God's sake! Also, although there are three continental championships in acrobatics (European, Asian and Pan American), the events are usually so bad that some categories in the Asian championships are competed with less than three competitors. The latest Pan American championships only had competitors from the United States. It should not even qualify as a competition. Bottom line is: FIG is completely out of their collective minds to ask for acrobatics to join the Olympics! Aerobics has even less appeal than breakdancing. It looks kind of antiquated now, and it will suffer when people compare breakdancing and aerobics because of how pretentiously elegant (and a bit tacky) gymnasts look compared to more "urban" breakdancers. And let's be honest: parkour is not even a sport (yet), and no one takes it seriously. MHSN and Gianlu33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
