We have great chances in Skateboard and Surfing.

Might as well add cup stacking and rubix cube solving

Karate and Baseball yes. The rest no

baseball is gonna be fun

Japan said it wanted to attract the 'young crowds'. Really makes you think huh.

ok i guess
sure whatever
>judged
ok
>judged

Way too much /asp/

>Karate
>Baseball

Fuck yes

>Skateboard
>Surfing
>Pandering to millennials

>Sports Climbing
>mfw

>climbing
>surfing
cool

Sport climbing could be cool as long as it's not some dumbass subjective scoring like gymnastics.

If it's speed only I wouldn't mind seeing it.

>karate
Yes

>the rest
A joke?

>skateboarding
Finally my chance to become an Olympian

>no mahjong

>karate

Yeah while we are at it, let's also add Krav Maga, Kung fu and Magic the Gathering card battles.

Fuck real combat sports like kickboxing, MMA and BJJ am i right.

When will MMA be in the olympics?

Hopefully never.

They'll never do American style karate unfortunately

Baseball is guaranteed, Karate is probably also guaranteed and expanding the martial art stuff is always nice

No to the others. Skateboarding will lead to BMX and other dumb shit.

sepak takraw when

baseball are you serious nigger

BMX is already in the olympics senpai

>baseball
Time for all those Dominicans to naturalize

Well then fuck it can we get rollerblading so I can live my childhood again?

Better than baseball

>he wasn't here for 2012 bmx threads

underage leave

What the fuck is "sports climbing"

still better much than criket

Arab bombathon when?

>Implying we won't be fielding a top-tier contender for that

Why not Polo? >:(

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Major_League_Baseball_players_by_nationality#Dominican_Republic

>Bautista
>Beltre
>Canó
>Starlin Castro
>Johnny Cueto

Just the top of the list, that team is stacked as fuck.

>sports climbing
of course japan had to add fucking ninja warrior into their olympics

No one wants meme20 in the olympics though.

Baseball is just dumbed down cricket.

Baseball and karate seem fine. I don't know why the fuck the others were added in. Although I'm kinda interested in sport climbing since I've never seen it before.

>skateboarding
>surfing
fuck yeah

Fag

How many sports per capita is Japan adding though? Sydney 2000 had so many sports per capita

It's only funny when the aussies say it. Repeating a word doesn't make it funny.

America would add it to 2024 too. Our version is fucking shit, its the same production as every other thing that ends up being big.

Tons of ads, for some reason here is an emotional interview and backstory for the next guy and watch him fuck up on stage 1, interview with the same guy "well im disappointed but ill be back". Its so fucking bad.

Can we just have the course without commentators, without interviews, without backstories for runners, without dumb shit like that.

4ustralia confirmed for most proxyfags per capita

Should introduce sports with more relevance to japanese culture and history like fukushima tsunami escape and radiation exposure survival

Karate for sure. Sports Climbing seems interesting as well. People compete in running and swimming so why not climbing? Makes more sense as an Olympic sport than riding on a four-wheeled board.

Are they going to have age restrictions on pros for baseball like they do for feetsball?

>no touge racing

>Kaiju survival
>Anime marathon endurance

Hang yourself

>no paintball

o-ok

Are we going to be able to send our professional players for baseball, like we do for basketball?

how the fuck i can get into this sport? i gaurentee i can already compete at an olympic level on a single speed bike

>suicide forest escape

>step dad quality time
>sport

>skateboarding
>surfing
>wall climb
>no hacky sack

Japan isnt dude bro dude enough

Depending on how it works sports climbing might be good. Everything is will be boring garbage to watch though.

Already dreading trying to watch anything with even more events going on though, broadcasters will just give up.

Probably not because they aren't going to put the season on hold

It'll probably be run just like before it got taken out so amateurs only. I highly doubt the MLB is going to schedule around the Olympics with the World Baseball Classic still around. It's probably why baseball got taken out in the first place, since people would rather just watch regular pro baseball happening at the same time.

you dont even need to pander to millenials..

we already like the olympics the way they are
yeah man, gotta perfect my lazerflip

Really, the unique events just write themselves.

Can a Japanese guy please start a petition for these wacky ideas?

They'd have to take a break in the middle of the season like they do in the NHL to allow pros to play.

general hiding out inna woods taking potshots at people wouldn't work at all, but paintball has a specific mode designed for tournament play that could easily be embedded into Olympic play

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedball_(paintball)

But i can see the problem that literally nobody except US and Europe play paintball.

a man can dream...

No rope can handle my weight

Edwin Encarnación
Nelson Cruz
Albert Pujols
David Ortiz

kek

Wouldn't they just get their best soldiers and place them into the games?

Americas gonna own in these
>Surfing
I only see AUS as competition in this, most big wave surfing is in the US
>Skateboarding
Best in the world
>Wall climb
We invented modern rock climbing in Yosemite
>Baseball
We MIGHT get beat, itll be like a real life world series tho
>Karate
Michael Venom Paige and Stephen Thompson will compete I hope

use a forklift brother

Climbing is good because humans have been doing it since prehistory.

Anything involving a plank is not sport.

Karate is okay if it replaces Tae Kwan Do.

Baseball is fine as a sport, but it should probably be removed along with soccer and baseball because the mediocre level of competition.

eh, speedball paintballing generally doesn't use any military tactics. the guns are wildly inaccurate because you're shooting fragile round balls. it's literally machine gun spray 'n pray as you shoot ropes of paintballs down lanes to deny the opposing team moving from cover to cover

it's still fun as all fuck.

I used to climb in college and went to a few events to watch. there were two types of competition: speed and skill. Speed was pretty simple, get up as fast as possible. Skill required you to navigate increasingly difficult courses until everyone else was eliminated. I really think that done right it could be a great new sport to add.

Some of the most ridiculously entertaining stuff during 2012. I loved seeing one person pull ahead while the rest wiped out. Or the whole field falling down at the start and scrambling for their bikes.

>yfw airsoft becomes an olympic """""sport"""""

AHHHHHHHHHH.

Cross country skiing is definitely a sport.

>Surfing and Skateboarding
YES, FEED US MORE GOLDS

>surfing will be the cute 15 year olds from newcastle versus the cute 15 year olds from hawaii
>all in glorious nipponland

:3

tony hawk is retired tho

who do we even have nowadays for skateboarding?

If airsoft becomes an olympic sport, competitive vaping must be next.

probably many of the same athletes who compete in boardercross would want to transition over

>skateboard
why? all those shitty games belong to the x games

I'm excited to see skateboarding judged outside some edgelord meme competition like the X-games, similar for climbing. Baseball should be pretty competitive too. Maybe I'm an outlier.

Tug of war when lads?

see many of the same x games events are in the winter olympics
aka
the superior olympics

Vaping culture has to be the most cringeworthy shit on earth

>That dude has vaping sponsors
>He won 500 dollars blowing Os
Im killing myself

Climbing and Baseball can fuck off. Skateboarding and surfing would be alright if they can find an objective way of giving points. Karate would be fine.

holy shit, is this real? jesus christ
they all look like hell too

>Laterally blow smoke
>Get sponsored

What am I doing with my life?

i meant single planked "sports"

All competitive vapers look like they just got done snorting xanax to blow some smoke rings

>woodflip
mind as well add smash and street fighter

Australia would get the golds for surfing and skateboarding

anime added to olympics when

yeah, it might take away the spotlight from cockfighting's big debut, won't it?

In 20 years
"""Esports""", vaping, airsoft, and youtube views will be olympic sports

Also, US NW has that same useless guy from every reality show ever. Fuck that hack, and fuck the production team with their bullshit fake suspense.

I'm just disappointed they had to redub the UK edits of Sasuke after they found out the original commentator was a nonce :(

This

>Buster Posey
>Mike Trout
>Ryan Braun
>Paul Goldschmidt
>Andrew McCutchen
>Brian McCan
>Jake Arrieta
>Bryce Harper
>Jason Heyward
>Alex Rodriguez
>Clayton Kershaw

thats just off the top of my head for the US, thats gonna be a fun game

They might as well add beer pong

american cars can't turn so i think the japanese were just being nice

Screencap this post.

In "Akira", the 2020 Olympics were also held in (neo)Tokyo, Japan.

Esports probably will be in the olympics all memes aside

its a really fun hobby
