>tfw basedball is back

Bump

Bump

These all are actually things I would watch, besides Karate.

Is skateboarding just going to be a better version of the X-Games?
Will there be vert and street?

Why the fuck are meme sports like skateboarding and surfing allowed in but not actually interesting ones like squash?

What is this squash all about?

Karate? Fuck me this will be fun.

Surfing and skateboarding seem cool as well.

Tokyo is going to shit on Brazils Olympics.

What an embarrassment

I understand Karate being there, since it's in Japan and all, and it's very old and traditional and whatnot. But climbing? Skateboarding? Fucking baseball? Fucking hell.

>baseball coming back
>x-games events
>fuckin karate
hell yes, they've got a hell of an Olympics to make up for this one

Baseball is actually huge in Japan.

>Surfing
>Skateboarding
>Climbing
holy shit why

Isn't baseball like the biggest sport in Japan?

>-Skateboarding
About 20 years too late for that.

>still no brazilian jiu jitsu
reee
there it goes my only chance of being an olympian

>Basebore niggers literally support the devaluation of olympic sport with x-games shit

Pretty excited about Softball too bee honest. Another guaranteed gold for the US.

>basebore
>niggers
also
>olympics
>value

are you some kind of retard?

>No bowling

baka
Baka
BAKA

good changes

Just need to add ESPORTS and olympics will be good again.

I'm sorry, I forgot you guys prefer the word "morenos"

What rules would be good?

EBI style with a time limit and sudden death?

I can't stand to watch most BJJ events, as a casual, unless it's women.

>dudeboard
>faggotplank
>climbing

""""" sports""""""

japs like baseball as much as americans

actually it's "negrito" if you want the same effect

Should we include American football too?

So is the IOC going back to allowing big team sports then since baseball is back?

ULTIMATE FRISBEE WHEN????

If that ever becomes an Olympic sport, I'll let you lads know if Olympic orgies are a thing.

Unironically would watch if they loosened the restrictions on Americans.

It would be nice just for the sake of shitposting on Sup Forums

Capoera?

Only removed because bongs and hues complained about not wanting to build fields.

>-Surfing
>-Skateboarding
>-Climbing
You've got to be kidding me. I respect karate, it's a choice that has been long overdue. I also respect baseball and softball; even though they aren't popular at all here, they are real sports. But surfing? Climbing? Fucking skateboarding?

It's because muh teenagers

When e-sport going to be part of the olympic games?

>Surfing

Great, the Hawaiians will get all bitchy they can't complete under their own flag and refuse to join the US team.

>no futsal

Esports should have their own olympics.

the 2020 Olympics are going to be so based

Will climbing have Lazer, Blazer, and Tazer chasing the contestants trying to pull them off?

I don't know about Karate. I like the other four though. Climbing is really getting popular in the last few years and some of the best climbers are Japanese. I think it will be a big fan favourite in Tokyo

>surfing
sweet
>skating
awesome
>climbing
hold up
>karate
well it is in Japan, after all
>baseball
meh why not, they obviously have the facilities

Japan is very good at shit like this, it'll wash away the bitter memories of the poo-infested Huelympics of 2016

Climbing could be cool I guess. I'm assuming we're talking like speed climbing up gym type rock walls and not like day long timed ascents up natural rock facing?

Karate is a new olympic sport?
I really need to follow olympics more.

people outside of the US don't play handegg
all of the above sports are played outside of murica

It's like tennis in a cube. It's great to watch

It's shotokan karate

Will be almost the same as taekwondo really

With kyokushin karate you'd have knockout matches and no protection, that'd be sick

Samefag. Like this could be meh tier

youtu.be/LBi22AKvsK0

Could be interesting I guess. Basically like sprinting except up a rock wall.

>surfing
>skateboarding

why jesus why

>Climbing

YES!

...

...

OH MY

take them into the Special Olympics, they're mostly autistic anyway.

puffy crotch

that doesn't sound like a problem to me

I didn't imply it was a bad thing

That would be boring as fuck

So it's point karate tag bullshit and not knockdown karate? Gay.

>tfw no Kendo in the olympics

It would be pretty GOAT tbqh, European fencing is hard to watch because they just flail their sword around and the smallest of hit sets off the electronic sensor.

Since weedboard is in the olympics how about some motor racing? Touring cars would be pretty neat.

But you play in a match against someone else?

Or it's just yourself in the cube?

>tfw you lose to yourself

Yes, against someone else. Its you two in a cube, ball can bounce off all 4 walls but you have to hit it against the back wall. You get a point when the opponent can't hit the ball

>-Skateboarding

>yfw Leticia Bufoni gets one for the Zil

Is this that game cubicle workers play during their breaks?

Surfing is good. I really like watching people surf, although I still don't understand how people win.

>although I still don't understand how people win
They use a pseudo-random number algorithm generator, whoever gets the bigger number wins.

no team kata?

probably the adcc format

>karate is in
>jew jitsu is out

I'll never understand this.

what is with Brazilian asses, why are they so bubbly?

They get this guy to judge the contestants performance

youtube.com/watch?v=hJdF8DJ70Dc

>Climbing

Could be neat, but then Spartan/Ninja Warrior/Meme Fit guys are probably going to want to add obstacle courses as an expansion.

E-lympics

bring back tug-o-war

There is a World Cup

>Karate
It's probably going to be point-fighting version so how are they going to differentiate this from Taekwondo? Now there are two sports with pajama-wearing athletes poking each other with their legs and occasionally, hands.

She could climb all over me if you know what I mean.

It's actually a joke that baseball is included how many countries currently have a national league stab in the dark says 8 or less, jap an chink island don't count you americucks. Agree with all the others but cuckball.

I just hope that in every transmission they have a big sing saying what sport it is, because I'm tired of watching pijama combats without knowing what it is.

Soon we can believe Japan will announced it sooner than later raise the ante for us Americans.

Gridiron Football is going to be most watched football while we show up to kick everyone ass for the metal.

Only if they adopt full contact rules
Fuck this is gay. Hell the entire kata tourney format is gay. Everything is subjective and arbitrary
At least in Karate you don't wear all those retarded protection

Btw bowling, lawn bowl and squash should be included

I love baseball but all international forms are shit. No relevant MLB players can go.

>Being this mad that cricket isn't an Olympic sport

Sorry Winston, maybe it will be when third-world shitholes aren't the only countries that play your semen-slurping sport

>climbing
seems like it could be cool, but it'll probably be the shit where they just sprint up a wall in like 5 seconds, that's kind of boring desu. I hope it's a much harder course where they have to do some acrobatics and shit. Even better if they can't practice it beforehand, but there would have to be a way to prevent competitors from watching the guys who went before them and learn from it, which would be almost impossible since it'll be live streamed

so I guess it's fine if they can practice beforehand, but I still want to see some acrobatic shit

>ninja warrior at the olympics
fucking japan why didn't you get on this


>karate
fine, personally I don't like combat sports but whatever

>baseball
shit, no one from MLB can even go, even if they could they wouldn't

>softball
fine I guess

>skateboarding
awful

>surfing
terrible. And how does it even work anyway, won't whoever happens to get the biggest wave win?

I wonder if they'll include street.
It'll most likely be just vert because that's way easier to build for Huehueland, but I'll be pumped if there's street.

I wouldn't mind just vert though. It'll be about as entertaining as snowboarding halfpipe.

You're just butthurt that only currynigs and ANZAC play cricket.

Surfing is gonna be fucking awesome

A Hue, or Mick will win it

>stonerplank is a sport now
Sup Forums BTFO, time to make a dozen of skateboarding threads on Sup Forums and leave /asp/ to the fake wrestling circlejerk :^)

>surfing
>skateboarding
>karate
absolutelydisgusting.jpg

>baseball
It's a good idea but America always sends AAA players so what's the point?

>climbing
Dunno why this wasn't added a long time ago. Climbing has been an important martial skill since war began.

Squash is great. But so are surfing and skating lad

>people unironically care what sports are in the olympics
How does it affect your life?

(You)

well meme'd

Fighting Games should be a olympic sport

Mario Party 1 should be desu

They should replace air guns and .22's with proper guns and practical shooting.

Baseball is fucking huge in Japan and Worst Korea.
