'THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE (IOC) AGREED TO ADD BASEBALL/SOFTBALL, KARATE, SKATEBOARD, SPORTS CLIMBING AND SURFING TO THE SPORTS PROGRAMME FOR THE  OLYMPIC GAMES TOKYO 2020.'

Any thoughts about these or future ones to consider?

I am a mad keen Fysherman but have issues with it as a competitive sport. 

Casting yes (distance or accuracy) but not fyshing itself.

That would be considerably more interesting and valued in my household than synchronised swimming.Surprised

Looking at that list for 2020 it seems to be pandering to the Amercan TV market. Don't suppose we should really be surprised at that! Sad. Use left and right arrows to navigate.

If it's pandering to the American market, how about Olympic eating contest. Eat as much fast food as you can within the time limit! Might be sponsorship opportunities?

Well why not pander to the Brits...a queuing event perhaps?! Winking

I'd like to suggest baking or ballroom dancing but I can't see either of those catching on competitively! Laughing

Why do you think it is pandering to American TV?
