Don't mention it here, not during the Olympics and simply never speak any word about it like it never existed in an Olympic format in the first place? can we add skateboarding? reminds me of clueless..... or the old tony hawk games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted December 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Is anyone else a little bummed out that the men’s race only has 24 quotas. The freestyle events also need at least 12-24 quotas the be a realistic event. I’m not a fan of how the Olympic Committee is forcing sports to cut quotas. I’d rather have an Olympics hosted by 4 countries where we can a least have normal sized events. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Wait, how many does freestyle have?

dcro 10,172 Posted December 22, 2018 #18 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It fascinates me how temporary sport like skateboarding is given 20 spots per event, and yet a more permanent event like BMX freestyle is given a charity like this. Tokyo Olympics would be better off without those nonsense one-time sports anyway. Col_Frost and heywoodu 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 2024 is going to be much worse, we will likely end up with 6 teams per synchro diving event etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
