AdamKralic Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Are you sure you want to complete the "sportification" of karate and btw have it under the thumb of the national governing bodies?Absolutely. If I own a shotgun am I only allowed to shoot skeet olympic style?Considering that that is EXACTLY what happened to Judo when it was added? i would call it a valid worry.Though i'm still at a loss as to why i've never heard of a "classic" fork of Judo.So you are only allowed to practice Judo in the Olympic style? I stand corrected. Basketball has rules too...but my son and I play horse. We fear the Olympic judges daily.Ah is the ruining of the sport that one Japanese trainer who slapped women? That isn't the Olympics fault. It's his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensei Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The IOC is looking at money and not at tradition....the key elements that should be in the Oly's each event should be Athletics, Aquatics, Archery, Gymnastics, Boxing, Triathalon, Wrestling and weight lifting. These core events make more sense than having other events as a full time and dropping wrestling. with events cycling through every other olympic like Synchro swiming, water polo, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, All boating events, Cycling, Equestrian, Fencing, Feild Hockey, Soccer, Golf, Handball, Judo, karate, Rugby, Shooting, Softball, Squash, Table Tennis, Taekwon do, Tennis, Bowling, Volly ball (Beach and other wise). Have these one fight it out for olympic recognition each year and leave one or two out......or, drop bowling, water polo, Badminton, Handball, Squash, Table Tennis, and other silly ones...The keeeping of "bowling" over wrestling makes NO sense what so ever.

JusticeZero Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 That said, I can see threatening Wrestling with notice given all the corruption that's been apparently popping up in it recently. I'd be threatening a distance cycling event, given how much of a fiasco the past few Tour de France events have been, where they have huge gaps of "no medals awarded because everyone in the lead cheated". It seems a bit like a proclamation of "You're disappointing us.. We brought you into this world, and we can take you out!"
