Tokyo Olympics 2021

these lads are walking faster than I can run

Longest skid competition shirley

And the most amazing bike handling ever recorded whilst a carbon wheel disintegrates below them?

All sounds good but football, rugby, basketball all need to go and any "sailing" events can fuck off. Windsurfing as an Olympic sport, please.

Head down riding to be banned in TP, tested by the spectators dropping random shit onto the track.

IP to be brought back with every nation having to race one competitor regardless of them having an IP specialist.

Van Schip's helmet is giving me Roglic TT flashbacks.

Artistic swimming?! Not even synchro. And the voguing at the beginning? Doesn’t even count for point. Just get in the pool.

New rule - every event to be scrapped except the decathlon. Switch out the throwing events which nobody likes for a bike race and, I dunno, watching them all try skateboarding might be fun.

Turned it on just in time to see the devil, fuck yeah

Fully support this. Could also boil gymnastics down to the multi one and make them do all the diving, too. Anything with somersaults.

I love the Devil.

Every potential competitor must do a double backflip on a BMX to enter the Olympics. From that point on, if they live, they're shot at by the archers while trying to kill other competitors with javelins and other throwing objects, bikes are used to escape or chase down and kill horses for food. Winner is last person standing.

Whether it is actually walking is dubious.

You forgot lions.

Loving the track today, apart from CK's inanity.
Also super disappointed with the climbing commentary, a sport I know next to nothing about, but enjoyed watching, it would be nice to get some insight

The boring sports should be combined to make things more interesting and to streamline everything. I'm happy for the horses to stick around, provided they're the ones doing the diving. The tennis can stay, but it's people throwing the hammer back and forth to each other. Golf, kept, but they're throwing a discus instead of hitting a ball and the trap shooting is trying to shoot it out of the air. Also only butterfly is allowed in the swimming so people realise how pointless it is.

Why am I getting Simon Brotherton and Chris Boardman when everyone else seems to be getting Carlton Kirby?

I've really enjoyed the commentary until I couldn't find it on BBC and went on Eurosport.

scrap every event, introduce new event of "posting". user amey to win gold at first attempt

Horse archery is excellent to watch, I'd watch that at the Olympics. Points for how fast the horse is going, as well as how close to the bullseye you get.

Swim archery might work. Harpooning?

Jousting?

Discus handball?

Horseback archery?

Pistol elimination race?

Triple jump diving?

Does keirin in Japan still use proper dernies or are they also on stupid hybrid e-bikes?

I'm guessing they're keeping it real.

the betting version not the olympic version? They use a guy on a bike, the racers take it in turns to be the derny.

I'd commute on this
