Which Olympic Event Should Be Dropped?
The Paris Olympics in 2024 had 32 sports on the program and many more sporting events/disciplines within each sports category. Which of these sports or events do you think should be dropped from the Olympic program? There are other sports I am sure people do not like (they were able to pick 'other').
In 2023 we archived a similar poll which asked you which traditional sports should be dropped. In addition to the sports and events from that poll, I added some of the recent (and sometimes unpopular) additions to the Olympic sports program. Equestrian was the sport that people wanted to drop, the previous poll had equestrian second behind race walking.
