Jur 521 Posted December 6, 2020 #711 Share Posted December 6, 2020 To be honest, some changes aren't even bad. It's just others are REALLY BAD, so it overshadows other decent changes. Another Race Walk event for women is needed. High Diving is fine, I wouldt mind it taking Artistic Swimmings spot tbh. Ligthweigth rowing adds nothing to the games. Coastal rowing is a developed and entreteining sport completely different to anything already on. I support that change. Same thing with Sailing. I get people not liking "mixed events", but it kind of makes sense in Sailing, and it opens the door for other exciting boats. Same thing for Mixed Skeet or mixed time trial, I can live with it being in the games. Aything else, garbage. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my best guess. 1 minute ago, Jur said: Any other sport missing? Golf - My best guess is a Mixed Team event of some nature Boxing - IOC doesn’t recognize the AIBA, who knows what’s going on there Rowing - Nothing comes to mind, but if they haven’t made a point of saying that haven’t asked for the inclusion of something, then my conclusion is that they proposed something Weightlifting - With the chaos at the IWF, who knows Wrestling - Has definitely made a proposal, probably Beach Wrestling. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Please, god, no. As a former fencer I have an urge to stab anyone who proposes a mixed weapon event. Fencing is blessed with a great team format, lets not mess with it. Especially now that we finally, at long last, got the full complement of team events in the Olympics. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jur 521 Posted December 6, 2020 #714 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A golf team event with a Match Play format would be amazing. It doesn't need new quotas and offers something completely different. I hope they asked that cause I can see it happening NearPup, Olympian1010 and intoronto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they asked that cause I can see it happening Golfers have long complained about the Olympic format being too much like every other random PGA event. Adding a team element and/or matchplay would be really popular among the athletes and would make the Olympics more attractive to golf fans. Match play is also way more interesting for people who aren't inherently golf fans. If I had it my way you'd have a men's, women's and mixed matchplay event with two person teams. intoronto and phelps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought World Athletics were replacing the 20k and 50k walk with one 30k distance anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10k event (that could be held in the stadium or in road) and a 30k road one. But it only would happend if the tecnology for a better judging could be tested and it was confirmed efective. If not, they would do 20k and 35k. So, basically, we don't know nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
