The Olympics have nothing to do with the original Olympics anymore, do they? They have skateboarding ffs. But trans is too far.

Actually, now I'm curious how they will handle cases of people with more than 2 chromosomes.

And, who runs these organisations? Are they under US influence?

Which original Olympics? In nude? With OG disciplines?

To be honest, the classic disciplines are boring.
I liked skateboarding, breaking (breakdance).

Maybe we should be more unisex, add more shooting, chess, card games, e-sport, Formula E, etc.

I know it wouldn't be unheard of (art used to be a category) but I'd hate this so much because to me, the Olympics are a celebration of physical excellence.
