Not sure what you exactly mean under " new olympic disciplines" ...
Like someone else mentioned in this forum - lack of spectators (or them missing all together) is probably biggest disappointment in this event lol ...
 
There is my question below the topic. 😉
For me it is basketball 3x3.
Especially, there is Poland national team there. 🙂

Watched the skateboard final for the first time, I don't really need that at the olympics.

Me too. But I think organizators want to bring young people to watch the Olympics.

I watch everything at the Olympics, there is no outspoken favorite. If you had to choose, then swimming and athletics ... and the rest. 😀
 
Ehh what a shame of Poland National Team in 3x3 basketball competition. 🙁
They are out in spite of the fact that 6 nations go throught to play offs from 8 teams...
 
Of the new sports that entered the Olympic program, I really liked skateboarding and surfing. They were really cool to watch.
 
I've heard rumours that boxing will be out of the Olympic games in Paris 2024. Has anybody heard something similar?

I think I remember reading, that boxing is still there, but with a reduced number of competitors and weight classes.

of course 3v3 basketball, which is really cool, dynamic games turn out to be. surfing and skateboarding are also great that got into the Olympic sports.

I don't like the whole idea, but that sort of reducing is at least some kind of compromise. Boxing is one of the oldest sports out there. We'll see.
 
I hope so boxing will remain on the Olympics. If not it is going in wrong direction.
 
The NBC sports App is pretty cool, just type in the sport and watch at your leisure.
I have already watched like 15 hours of wrestling.
 
In most sport they take all precautions to avoid blows to the head to prevent brain damage. Yet in boxing that is the purpose. I like boxing, always have, just have to question the logic of it all.

Skateboarding is a very popular sport worldwide, what would you rather, the 50Km walk?

By the way, the 50Km walk has been axed after these games.

Is that a bad thing? What happens when all the old people die, do the Olympic Games die also.

The young people are watching, and they're the ones competing, apart from Andrew Hoy that is. 😉

Without people watching there won't be any Olympic Games, there is too much money to be made.
