events for Olympics

[stuckinbig11]

Apparently, hosting countries can add or delete sports from Olympics competitions. For example, Japan included baseball and softball in the Tokyo Olympics (they play those sports), but France deleted them. A whole bunch of other competitions have been added that don’t even seem like sports.

I think the U.S. will add lacrosse for the Los Angeles games, but there are lots of other options to add and delete. Post your ideas.

Cornhole. Darts (only if Ted Lasso competes)
I would bet Pickleball gets added

Here is a list:

As I understand it, the program for the 2028 games is already set. You will all be saddened to find that Breakin is not part of it.

Of course, LA2028 will have "Sixes" LAX which requires less players on each team.

I believe the USOC decided to add softball for 2028, which will be played in Oklahoma City of all places.

As for Pickleball, we can use the Break Dancing model: fad “sport” reaches peak popularity in Year X, fades away into obscurity pretty quickly in year X+3, then makes an Olympic debut in year X+39. Using that, Pickleball will be a medal event for the 2064 games (with an outside chance of making it for 2060).

IIRC, OKC is the mecca of softball, in general. Just as every D-1 college baseball team wants to get to Omaha, the D-1 softball teams all want to get to OKC.

Yeah but this isn’t the World Series. I’d have some major fomo if everything else was happening 1500 miles away.

Just a matter of time before competitive hobby horsing becomes an Olympic sport, especially if the Scandinavian countries get their say.
