I love the Olympics. A great big celebration and festival of sport. It brings lesser known sports to a greater audience and thus attracts people into a sport they may never known of otherwise. My idea of an ultimate Olympics should celebrate the deep history of sport as well as the modern times and highlight sports from all over from a wide variety of cultures. Every Olympics I can be surprised there's something with enough interest or competed to enough of a standard to be featured. So hopefully Kabaddi would be alright and experience growth being brought to more eyes. Edited August 11 by MachoLibre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowls is in the Commonwealth Games and is one of a few sports that should get upgraded to the Olympics from the Commonwealths like Netball and Squash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) @Lion_of_the_Midlands Yeah it comes on the Punjabi channels on Sky. Kabbadi is massive in India, my dad used to play for his local team growing up but then moved here and that was the end of Kabbadi Edited August 12 by deathrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netball being a predominantly Female played sport is why it's never up for inclusion, I think Australia has a male league and has decent participation numbers but everywhere else in the world is vastly smaller. Almost every sport in the Games now has male and female categories, with I believe just the Artistic Gymnastics and Swmming being female only events and the Male only events being a couple of the gymnastics events.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 11 Paid Members Share Posted August 11 Thanks @MVP RULZ i didnt know that about all sports pretty much have to be for male and female. I believe the Swimnastics can now be mixed teams, but that there were no men included in any of the teams at this Olympics. If that is the case though all of you horse haters have fucked it. All of the equestrian events are mixed gender competitions, they are never getting rid of them. They even allow them to use male and female horses, so you are going to have to live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabbadi is massive in India, my dad used to play for his local team growing up but them moved here and that was the end of Kabbadi That's sad that your dad had to stop playing the sport he enjoyed. Kabaadi does have a strong following in the UK. Especially among Punjabi communities. There are many UK clubs and an organisation that runs events/tournaments up and down the country. I remember attending a Kabaadi tournament in the Wisconsin area of the US. The tournament was part of a larger event that also hosted international Punjabi folk music artists. Some of the Kabaadi competitors were Afro Carribbean athletes. One in particular looked as if he should have been playing RB for the Packers. Anyhow. I'd like to see Cliff Diving added to the Olympics and BMX Mega Ramp. Edited August 12 by BigJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 12 Paid Members Share Posted August 12 Crown Green Bowls. You can have singles and doubles, men and ladies can play against each other. Play to 21 in the early stages, then to 31 in the last 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted August 12 Paid Members Share Posted August 12 Get rid of pairs tennis and bring in Padel. Atherstone ball game. Masters football instead of your normal football. I would definitely add darts. Different formats like cricket, 1001 and short set play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members waters44 Posted August 12 Paid Members Share Posted August 12 I want the current Olympics but with a Jackass theme. There’s crocs and jellyfish in the pool, the 100m is in shopping trolleys, there’s a furthest enema event, the boxing takes place in a shopping mall, the divers are propelled in the air with a giant inflatable pillow prior to their dive (and they’re dressed like chickens), naked judo, archers have to rub chilli in their eyes prior to firing arrows, high jump takes place over a running bull, bears let loose in the velodrome etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
