I haven't seen wrestling yet and I googled it. Said wrestling was dropped and I've been seeing airsoft shooting which I've never seen before.

I'll gladly admit I was wrong if I am

By the IOC, or just NBC?
NBC has been sucking at olympics for a couple decades now.

I saw synchronized swimming on TV at the gym this morning and was amazed that it was still in the Olympics.

They need to cut some sports and events like crazy. Anything synchronized is dumb. You can turn any event into a synchronized event. It doesnt add anything or make it more interesting.

There are too many events that are the same except for slight distance differences. Rowing is funny because its like they just put more people on the boat gradually to make 100 different events.

There are also too many events in some things that are like forced worse techniques. Karate and TKD for example could be combined into martial arts or add Judo and wrestling and you have MMA. Breast stroke, butterfly, and backstroke are all pointless when its just about being the fastest too.

They've had shooting for decades though

I've been seeing posts on my Facebook feed about airsoft shooting. I honestly never cared for it so I'm probably wrong.

I mostly watch for Basketball, wrestling, track, and swimming, and soccer.

But case closed I'm the idiot today boys and girls

They've had air rifle events since 1988.

I agree with most of this.

To me, they could cut close to half of the shit they're doing now. The Olympics should stick to the basics, track and field & boxing. That's all it was 2000 years ago. I can live with swimming and gymnastics, basketball and baseball. Martial arts and wrestling seem appropriate given boxing is an original sport.

But the skateboarding, synchronized anything and a lot of other shit should go to the X Games or wherever.

NBC is garbage with their Olympics coverage because they dont always show shit live. Like if you want watch things live, you HAVE to be on their website. Fuck that, I want to watch it on my TV, show the shit live and then replay the big things that you want.

My Google search said it was removed in 2013 for 2020 but was reinstated in like 2017.

I know that the Olympics (I think just Summer) condensed the list to core sports and then the host can pick extras for the rest of the list. Thats why baseball/softball was added this year.

What are some specific examples? I remember that's what I thought about the 100 and 200 for track until I did them and did vastly better with the 200m.

I agree. Too much X Games level shit now.

I wouldn't watch it much, but it belongs.

I mean even if viewership becomes so low they wanna cut it (can be boring to watch at times) id rather they just not televise it (put it on the internet at least though) than outright cut it

I love soccer and basketball but I couldn't care less about olympic basketball or olympic soccer. IMO its stupid. For soccer the elite country competitions are the continental championships which we just had, and the world cup. Olympic soccer is pointless. And for basketball, literally no one should give a shit about it because its a sport thats dominated by the united states where some of the best players in the world aren't even playing.

IMO Olympic basketball can be interesting. I was impressed by how other countries were grateful for the Dream Team in '92 though. They (Argentina, Former Yugoslav countries, Greece, Brazil, Nigeria and others) said that even in defeat, they were given something to shoot for. A lot of them have gotten pretty close and even send players to the NBA.

I love soccer, support the women's and men's teams but can't think of one "Holy Shit!" moment in Olympic soccer.

Sometimes they'll show things taped on NBC that literally aired live on USA or CNBC like 20 minutes earlier.

Where I discovered it being boring was when I learned Kurt angle had his neck broke and still won so I decided to look it up. Was a really boring match and couldn't even tell where he got injured
