Too fucking many sports in the Olympics In this thread, we get rid of redundant events:
>Swimming All you need is 100m, 500m, 1500m, 10km (open water) and 4x100 relay. Freestyle in all. The other strokes are slower, so fuck them anyway.
>Athletics This one seems pretty well-sorted.
>Cycling Road Race, Individual Sprint, Kilo TT, Team Pursuit. Anything else is just trying to figure out what else to do with the velodrome.
>Rowing singles and eights. anything else is unimportant in a regatta anyway.
>Sailing Pick one fucking kind of boat, your choice
>Soccer Would you rather have a World Cup or a gold medal?
>Basketball Would you rather win the NBA Championship or a gold medal?
>Golf Would you rather win a the Masters or a gold medal?
>Tennis Would you rather win Wimbledon or a gold medal?
>Wrestling/Boxing/Judo/Taekwondo Just replace it all with MMA
Leo Baker
>Equestrian Only Jousting
Jordan Cruz
>Equestrian Horse racing or nothing
>Gymnastics Trampoline? Rhythmic? fuck that.
>Volleyball Beach or Indoor. Pick one.
>Badminton That's for drunk people at a cookout
>Table Tennis It's called ping pong and it's for drunk people.
>Diving Pick 1 height to dive from, not 16. And no fucking team diving.
Dominic Sullivan
How about we just get rid of Olympic as a whole?
Anthony Foster
>sports that should be in the olympics 100m running 100m swimming 1vs1 deathbattle
>sports that should not be in the olympics everything else
Justin Price
I'd be fine with badminton and chinkpaddle if they had squash. without it they can all fuck off
Aiden Ramirez
They should just make it a track and field + Gymnastics competition. The rest of the events are total garbage.
Wyatt Sanchez
>Gymnastics Only team all-around and Individual all-around None of this individual apparatus stuff.
Bentley Barnes
So the winner of the 100m sprint and 100m swim have a battle to the death?
Austin Foster
EVERYONE SHOULD DO ALL THE EVENTS, A GIGATHLON.
ONE MAN and woman TO RULE THEM ALL
How fucking cool would that be. Let NASA and CERN figure out overall points system.
Christopher Lee
Actually, now that you mention it.
The decathlon and the heptathlon can go away. Just enter all 10 events normally. If you don't qualify, then you don't deserve to enter a gimped version.
>Fencing Pick one kind of sword. This isn't the middle ages. We don't need swords anymore anyway. Today, we fight with suicide vests.
Charles Cruz
Badminton is basically the superior version of Tennis. You need >Faster acceleration >Higher speed >Shorter reaction times >More endurance >Better accuracy >Better strategy
Meanwhile Tennis only needs slightly more strength, so one trait that is more important there compared to six that are more important in Badminton. And on top of that you don't even need that much strength in tennis, while you will get absolutely destroyed if you're not top tier in even one of the badminton-traits mentioned above.
James Ward
Get rid of all women's events other than beach volleyball, diving and gymnastics.
Jaxon Hughes
Remove sports Create world anime contest You're done
Wyatt Howard
>Road Race, Individual Sprint, Kilo TT, Team Pursuit. Anything else is just trying to figure out what else to do with the velodrome
velodrome are one of the best events in the olympics because it's so intense and it takes quite a lot good skill and good tactics to win. But you're american so I probably going to guess that you are jealous that america isn't dominating in it
Jordan Robinson
The problem with squash is that you'd have to build an arena or some shit to host it and it's not worth it for one event. Most countries have infrastructure for several of tennis/basketball/football/golf.
Swimming needs cutting down but it's tough to get people to agree precisely how. Cycling in the velodrome has already been cut down.

>Would you rather win Wimbledon or a gold medal? Both. If Serena hadn't choked you'd be whining how it's the patrician sport and shit. But whenever USA doesn't win at a sport you whine about it being badwrongfun.
Justin Johnson
>cheating
Benjamin Perry
you forgot about techniques, the ball spin in tennis, it's not as subtle as table tennis, but still it's pretty interesting already. While badminton only has short long and smash. And your points are false, you're just biased, ball is way faster in tennis than in badminton, so even if it seems slower, the court is bigger so you need to act fast too and actually move more and for longer.
Tyler Wilson
t.badminton player Too bad everybody prefers Tenis. Also >sport were chubby asians are athletes >better than tennis
