If you could remove 1 sport from the olympics PERMANENTLY and maybe add one to be its core sport,which one would it be
Remove a bunch of the swimming categories. No one should be able to take 5 medals in a single games. That just means there’s too many medals in the discipline.
Give one to mountain biking and give me downhill mountain biking time trials.
I would remove skateboarding. Its just a bunch of 9-12 year olds who keep falling during all of their routines. Instead, I would add MMA.
I would just add an age minimum instead. It is cringe watching kids in the Olympics tbh.
I actually still cannot believe adults don’t outcompete kids at the higher level. How come this is basically the only sport that has tweens doing better that 20 or 30 year olds?
Women’s skating? It is fairly new and only recently has it picked up popularity w women. There was some pros before but not many. These girls are all pushing boundaries and progressing fast.
Remove Equestrian, add Flying Disc (including Ultimate and Disc Golf).
I’ve never been able to get into diving, so would probably remove that…
I’d add Australian rules football, what a fun sport – rugby ball people are dribbling and drop-kicking to pass, full tackle with no pads, weird oval field. I was in Australia for 3 weeks and was obsessed the whole time.
Remove animal sports/equestrian, permanently add the ninja warrior course they’re doing in Los Angeles for modern pentathlon.
Remove diving, add circus-type sports (aerial silks/hoop, pole) or rollerskating.
Breakdance was already removed. For what entertains me personally, I would remove salling and introduce futsal.
Cmon sailing is a cool sport🥺
Remove 3v3 basketball, add tug of war
Ping pong
Remove equestrian. Add baseball/softball (permanently).
Remove 3x3 basketball, add hide and seek.
Remove weightlifting and wrestling from the Summer Olympics. Remove speed skating from the Winter Olympics.
