Honestly, It could be wrost. I had very bad expectatives

Looking at how late they are with the inclusion of the extreme sports, I can't wait when they include Tetris as an Olympic event 20 years later.

I agree. I was afraid parkour would make the cut. I'm glad this atrocity was not considered for 2024.

I love watching the Classic Tetris World Championships. I would support this 100 times more than I support breakdancing.

This mixed team is a fallacy. How does it give women more events when men are also competing? If you do not want to add athletes, you add events or transfer them over simple as that. Agenda 2020 although successful in some areas, this gender equality is not there. Women are not competing in some events, and men as well. That is not gender equality.

Reading this on the official program is just horrifying.

I would support it, but only if they get these guys as the official commentators.

Extreme canoeing is approved?

Only 90 riders in men's cycling road race - what a stupid decision in an event which should be blue ribbon event in this olympics with Champs Elysee finish. Totally nonsense.

Paris 2024 will be the first Olympics with zero 100+ participants individual events since Melbourne 1956 (!). Rome 1960 could have afforded something Paris will not. Wow, that just fails to make any sense whatsoever.

 

Meanwhile, rather interestingly, artistic gymnastics will now become the sport with the largest individual event.
