Olympic Sports Eligibility

Wrestling has managed to get itself back onto the Olympic slate for 2020 and will have to prove it should be a core sport from then on. This looks to be at the expense of softball.

7's rugby is now an official sport. Makes sense because you can run an entire tournament in 2 days.

Are there any sports that you think should be added or removed from the summer olympics? Personally, anything with a judge "scoring" subjectively should be gone....for good.
 
I think indoor stuff should move to the winter games to boost that joke of an event that only a handful of countries compete in. There really isn't any real reason badminton or wrestling shouldn't/couldn't be held in an arena at the winter olympics rather than the summer, then more sports like 7's or softball could all be played in the summer games and we wouldn't have major sports miss out. More sports and more countries competing is surely better than what we see before us now.

Individual sports are certainly better and the triathlon is certainly in the spirit of the Olympics.
 
20/20 Cricket.

cricket believe it or not is the third most popular sport on the planet (ok mainly due to India and pakistan etc).

It could easily become one of the most exciting spectator sports at the olympics...
