[New Events]

1. What did I just watch

2. How is "downhill skating" a thing and I didn't know about it

3. I'm going to have nightmares about a JR Celski-style blade incident in one of these

[New sports at 2020 Olympics]

Am I the only one who thinks the discussion should be about which sports to cut, rather than what to add? The costs of the games, summer especially, are ballooning out of control. If a sport or event doesn't require new facilities, or can share facilities with another event, then by all means, go for it. But so many events just seem to cost more than they're worth (BMX, canoe slalom, etc)

(Then again, if I were in charge, it'd be a bloodbath. No more trampoline, sailboarding, men's soccer, boxing...so maybe it's just me)

[Durban 2024/28?]

its never been in south america was good enough for rio, and it had the worst technical bid in 2016

Well the vote for 2024 isn't until after Rio, so maybe IOC folks will learn from the challenges there.

[Durban 2024/28?]

I'm not convinced Durban is big enough, nor South Africa rich enough, to host the Olympics.

"It's never been in Africa" is not a good enough reason to put it there.
