The general Paris 2024 program is set (bar a suspended offshore sailing decision and a TBD athletics event at the expense of race walkers). Frustration for established sports not able to add events that make sense - modern pentathlon mixed relay, table tennis doubles. And head scratching on the expected confirmation of breakdancing - er, breaking - a sport that, Youth Olympic Games 2018 inclusion aside (really, that's the sole go-to example), just hasn't had enough of a track record to prove worthy of Olympic inclusion. If I'm squash, I'm beyond devastated. And anyone else note the exclusion of baseball/softball. Really, sports and events need to be added with long term inclusion in mind. Those ball players must be so irritated, facing what is a lame duck inclusion at Tokyo 2020. How to develop a sport if there isn't a repeat appearance offered? My thoughts are summed up succinctly here.
