Fox334 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 "What would the sports program look like if you where in charge of the IOC" (or variations) is a bit of an eternal topic here on GamesBids, but considering that we just had the latest vote on new sports I think it would be time to revive it. The rules: you can add and remove events and disciplines but not sports. This is purely what you would like the 2020 program to look like. If you want a change in the format of an event you can do that to. Here's my list: Athletics: eliminate the men's 20km walk, the women's 20km walk and the men's 50km walk. Badminton: add a men's and women's team event (12 teams, 7 athletes per team). Return to single elimination format for all events. Boxing: increase to 16 events, 8 men's and 8 women's weight classes. Have 16 boxers per event. Reform how the qualification system works. Canoeing: have all races over 1000m, with men's and women's C1, C2, C4, K1, K2 and K4 races over that distance. In whitewater, replace men's C2 with women's C1. Cycling: introduce men's and women's road team time trial (10 teams of 5). Remove men's and women's omnium, add men's and women's 1000m time trial, individual pursuit and point race. Equestrian: remove dressage and eventing. Fencing: have 12 events (up from 10): individual and team epee, sabre and foil for men and women. Football: increase women's tournament from 12 to 16 teams. Golf: introduce team (10 teams of 4) and matchplay (16 teams of two) events. Integrate team event with first two rounds of individual event (similar to the Equestrian team events). Gymnastic: remove rhythmic gymnastics. Make FIG introduce 2 new events to women's artistic gymnastic over time (probably something like one new event introduced every two Olympic cycle to leave athletes time to adjust). Judo: add men's and women's team event (16 teams, 5 athletes per team). Rowing: remove all lightweight events, add women's coxless four. Sailing: have a men's and women's sailboat, dingy, multihull, kitesurf and keelboat events. All event have qualifying fleet races and match medal races. Shooting: have a men's and women's precision pistol, rapid pistol, rifle, trap, double trap and skeet event. Events will end with single elimination tournaments like in Archery. Swimming: add men's 800m free and women's 1500m free. Synchronized Swimming: remove. Table Tennis: add men's, women's and mixed doubles (16 teams per event). Taekwondo: have seven men's and women's weight classes. Remove the four athletes per country limit. Tennis: add a men's and women's team event (8 teams of 4-6 athletes). Water polo: have 12 women's team. Weightlifting: remove one men's weight class. Wrestling: Increase the number of weight classes form 6 to 7, slowly introduce women's greco-roman weight classes as appropriate.

Road cycling reduce men's road race to 100 (creating additional 44 quotas). Introduce 2 events in track cycling, using some of the quotas if necessary from the other disciplines. Diving: Nothing Equestrian: Replace eventing with another discipline (idk if this will be possible). Fencing: Nothing Field hockey: Nothing Football: Remove 4 teams in men's to bring all teams events to 12 (additional 72 quotas) Golf: Nothing Gymnastics: Remove Rhythmic gymnastics (additional 96 quotas created). Handball: Nothing Judo: Limit each men's event to a maximum 25 quotas and women's to 20 quotas = a total of 13 additional quotas). Add a men's team event. MP: Nothing Rowing: Drop a men's event in favour of a women's event. Limit each single sculls event to 30 athletes (1 additional quota) Rugby: Nothing Sailing: Have gender equality in events, same quota Shooting: Have equal number of men's and women's events, with out increasing athletes. Swimming: Have the same program as the World Championship program without increasing total number of athletes. Synchro: Drop (192 athletes - 52 = 140) Move 52 to add 4 teams in women's water polo. Table tennis: Remove team events, and have a maximum 100 athletes. Taekwondo: Nothing Tennis: Nothing Triathlon: Introduce mixed relay without additional athletes Volleyball: Nothing Water polo: Add 4 women's teams Weightlifting: Drop one men's weight class Wrestling: 16 per weight category = 288 + one more weight class per discipline = 336 athletes (8 additional quotas). ----- Left with more spots and we can add these sports: Squash = 64 athletes Baseball/Softball = 320 quotas Karate = 120 quotas And we saves an additional 150 athletes from 2012, have more gender parity in all sports.
