Olympian1010 7,417 Posted July 18, 2018 #131 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Also, Why was the Biathlon Single Mixed Relay not included. It has been successfully held already, a high rate of participation, and would not require an increase in quotas. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Decision will be made by November. Ugh, we all know what that's gonna be.

Doesn't make it right Exactly. Events should not be put in the Olympics to make them grow, events should be interesting enough to grow before they're being put in the Olympics.

I meant it's a good thing they didn't add the single mixed relay, because in my opinion that is 100% perfect for show events, but rather mediocre to have in a serious competition.

That is if the best athletes even will compete in all events. I can imagine a situation where you've got a mixed relay and a single mixed relay both with around 50% of the best athletes. That's not great.
