We need tug of war back in, the Lough Egish team from County Monaghan are former world champions.
Standing jump and rope climbing would be interesting. Could break into weight classes for these.
A puc fada competition would be more appealing than baseball as anyone can pick it up woth training

There’s a big push to get climbing and surfing included. Ireland could win medals in either of those.
That’s unreal. Would motor sports be admitted to the Olympics? Never seen it before.
Is there an arguement for darts to be an Olympic sport? Is it a sport or skills game? I imagine the athletes will be only ones not getting the ride in the village
Surfing is in. It’s happening today.

Archery is in, so why not? In all seriousness sports which have proper world championships or major championships which are the pinnacle of the sport add sod all to the Olympics. The football at the Olympics for instance is pointless. So is the tennis and golf. I watched the end of the cycling road race this morning but it was better back in the amateur days.
Swimming, gymnastics, hockey, boxing, athletics, and the minor sports you only see at the Olympics are what it’s all about.

Like quittich or whatever its called.
Agreed, the Olympics should be the ultimate goal in a 4 year cycle for any sport. 3x3 basketball and rugby 7s are different enough from the main sport to specify from the main appeal of that sport.
Boxing should be amateur only, this crack of turning pro and only having x number of fights is bollocks
