LDOG 2,199 Posted August 10, 2021 #1031 Share Posted August 10, 2021 How is mixed kiteboarding even possible? It's an individual sport. Or were they planning to make women compete against men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original proposal was a “mixed kiteboard relay.” I never saw the planned format of the event though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

They likely planned to have a (non-related) mixed team event with no individual medals. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing I heard was that the IOC didn't cancel the offshore event completely, they send it to have an overhaul and they would revisit in a future. They asked the Sialing Federation to choose a preferred substitute in case the offshore event was cancelled, and that's where they choose the individual kiteboarding instead of the team event. But if I'm not mistaken it's not official event cause the IOC can still choose the offshore event (wich is also the Sailing Federation favorite of the two) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the speed discipline will be separate in climbing which is nice. thiago_simoes 1 Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.
