There are a bunch of former Olympic events which, at least personally, I like better than a lot of current ones. That's obviously a personal taste, but I think they should do a retro Olympics at some point with all of the old events
Thanks for considering my suggestion (Sepak Takraw)... yesss Sepak Takraw is very popular here in South East Asia. I am from the Philippines by the way.
Has not seen that before. What a great event ! If it appeared in the Olympics I think it would quickly grow worldwide. Too old now, but I would love to have tried it.
I have a couple of future video ideas. How about a list of athletes who have competed in both the Winter Olympics, and the Summer Olympics. Also, how about a video on why there are differences in rules between men and women for the same event, such as gymnastics floor exercise. Why is the women's event more of a dance routine set to music, but the men's event isn't. Or why do men and women have such different uniforms in beach volleyball?
I love your first idea, it's actually a really interesting list of the athletes who have competed in both summer and winter games, well worth a video. I'll have to do more research on the latter idea, I'm not really educated on the topics but I'll look into it for sure. Any non-Olympic video ideas you'd like to see me dig into?
@@voxathletica I'd like to see videos on the top sports team rivalries, like Manchester United vs. Liverpool, or Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs. Also, another channel called Secret Base had a series called Untitled, it was about the best athletes who never won a championship. But, they seemed to have stalled out at 11 athletes, and never finished the series. It would be interesting to see you do your own version, with your take on the athletes.
@@maryjennings4913 Thank you, I really appreciate your thoughts. Another viewer mentioned the sports rivalries, I think that's a wonderful idea. And I'm into the series idea on the best athletes to never win a championship, I'm gonna look into that too. Thanks again, it's a huge help!
I could actually be in the Olympics if this was a sport. The only thing stopping me from doing ice hockey is my lack of coordination when skating. I used to dominate much older competition in street hockey because of my extensive experience with the sport, having watched and played it since age 1. I know all the ins and outs, I just need to get in shape and get some reps in and I'll be ready to win!
I never grew up knowing what Sepak Takraw was, and I hadn't seen it until a few years ago, but now that I've checked it out I'm convinced it's one of the most difficult sports in the world. I'd love to see it in the Games!

I just found your channel and I love your videos - awesome ideas. Maybe make a video about (in your opinion) the 10 greatest olympians of all time, a video for summer, then winter, then all of it.
I'm voting for the "beer mile". Run 4 laps of a 400m track but you have to drink a beer at the start of each lap. Already an event with official rules. Lots of tactical considerations. If you vomit you are disqualified so do you drink fast or slow, drink a smaller high alcohol beer or a larger, lower alcohol beer. The drawback is certain countries wouldn't be able to compete for, you know, reasons, but it would make for great television. The post race interviews would be awesome.
LOL it probably won't make the cut at the Olympics, but there is no denying that there would be a TON of folks who would be very, very interested in watching this
It's a great list, I'd love to see the futsal in the olympics as well as the mtb races. How about a top 10 criminals who were stupid enough to get arrested easily.
I think Futsal is the most requested new sport in the comments across all of my videos, and honestly, the viewers are totally right on that one. It really needs to get into the Olympics ASAP
When I did athletics the mixed relay was 2 x 100, 1 x 200 and 1x 400. Another version is 2 x 200, 1 400 and 800. The reason why they do shorter sprints first is because once you get past the first bend + straight running leg they move to the inside lane, otherwise the outside lanes would run more than the inside lanes. This would happen 100m into the 3rd leg of the 2 x100medley and 100m into the 2nd leg in the 2x200 medley.
Futsal replacing football is a great idea. The 50m pool events should be obvious. Would love to see what Tom Pidcock would do with downhill mountain bike ! Two more - Underwater Hockey- already in SE Asian games, big following in Asia and played world wide. Netball, one of the biggest events in the Commonwealth games, big in Africa and the Caribbean, a really exciting event. Hadn't seen that second event before, could definitely do with more exposure, wow !
Sepak takraw is wild, isn't it?!?! Sounds like we're on the same page with quite a few of these, neat idea with Underwater Hockey too. I don't know much about that one, but it sure looks interesting!
Hey. Another idea I just had was Top ten GOATs of all GOATs. So like Simone Biles and Michael Phelps and Lin Dan. Athletes who either are or were so freaking good no could ever touch them. And you really need to include Lin Dan in that video, even though I know badminton might not be your favorite sport. But just in terms of Olympics the man won two Olympic Gold medals. He also won five world Championships all on his own and so many other damn records.
That's a great idea! And hey, I can include any athlete from any event; it may not be my favourite sport, I may not think it should be an Olympic sport, but I can respect unbelievable talent. I'm putting this idea on the list, thank you!
The summer games are already overcrowded. One way to get new sports into the Olympic Games could be to move some into the winter games, e.g. indoor activities like handball and/or basket.
Definitely doable, and a great idea if you ask me. It would be a way to get more nations involved in the winter Olympics too, or at least a bit more than now
I think you're the first person to bring up cliff diving, it's a really cool choice for another artistic/judged event. Like it's just an extension of the diving that's already well established, so it makes sense
Events id like to see either return or be added -12 hour long bike race -Rope climbing competitions -1 hour foot race (or other time lengths) -SKATE (like a game of Horse with a basketball, but with skateboarding tricks, in a tournament format) -Tug of War -Diving for depth -Horse Racing -Fishing -snowboard/skiing relay races -Polo
Suggestions -sports that are the most popular in very few countries and non existent in the rest of the world -football soccer countries that are not affiliated to they're geographical continental confederation. Examples Suriname, Australia -sports that are terrible for tv -sports that are perfect for tv
Thank you so much, you've got some amazing suggestions there, one of which was already on my radar so great minds think alike. I appreciate it, thanks again!
Maybe it's a bit of a brazilian bias, but I think Footvolley could be added alongside Sepak Takraw. It's played in the same venue as beach volleyball and requires no additional equipment. But guess it's a long way to become popular outside Brazil
It's a great example of a fantastic sport that just hasn't caught on (yet) around the world. The IOC claims to really care about their events being globally competitive, so something like Footvolley has got some work to do. But a lot of the events we know and love today started out that way, so anything is possible!
I think futsal/beach soccer would be good instead of football, I also think obstacle courses would be a cool addition, they are replacing equestrian with it in the modern pentathlon starting 2028 but I think it’d be cool as it’s own event
Futsal should absolutely be in the games or even outright replace the current football event for a bunch of reasons. And great point on the obstacle course: as you say, it's coming in the modern pentathlon but it's awesome enough to deserve its own stand-alone event
I'm not sure if the order I listed is accurate according to the NCAA Championship. Sprint medley relay and shuttle hurdle is an exciting event to watch.
Futsal's hockey equivalent ball/floor/cosom hockey should be in the Summer Games. A lot of the countries that don't have a presence in (ice) hockey have solid teams in this sport and there's even world championships for both genders.
Yes, totally agree. I'm shocked the ice hockey people of the world aren't pushing harder for floor or ball or roller hockey equivalents in the summer, it feels like it makes sense in a big way
Love to see a video about world champions like if you can combined all the world cups and world champions of all sports who would be the world champions of world champions
Adding Kabaddi to the Olympics would bring a fresh, exciting, and culturally rich sport to the global stage. Its inclusion would celebrate diversity, encourage greater international participation, and showcase the intense skill and athleticism of its players. Kabaddi deserves a spot in the Olympics!
It's a wonderful game, no doubt, and it's super popular in certain areas. I think if it can gain a little bit more of a global following, it's a shoo-in for inclusion
One problem of the Olympics is there's so many events and its hard to keep it relevant. So only the more popular sports would be added, and dying ones would be taken away.
The IOC has actually been refreshingly honest on that topic, they clearly have indicated that they need to find ways to attract and retain more viewers, especially younger viewers. It's clear that there are fewer and fewer cities willing to host the games, and there are also fewer spectators and TV viewers, so the IOC has gotta keep tinkering with the formula to keep it going
50m butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke which are all held at the World Championships Swimming but not at the Olympics. Futsal and then ditch the standard soccer tournament. Beach handball so that handball also has a second event just like basketball (3x3) and volleyball (beach). Cyclo-cross (perhaps at Winter Olympics). Return of the Road Team Time Trial in cycling.
It would also be neat to have some sort of fitness contest where the actual events are announced right before each one. Similar to the cross fit games.
Would u make merch! I would 100% get it! I actually introduced u To my other friends and they adore you as well. You are criminally underrated. And maybe you can make a list like 10 cities you wish the Olympics were in like for example Toronto!
Hey thanks for making some introductions, I'm so glad to hear that you (and now your friends) are enjoying the channel, cheers! On the merch side, I hadn't actually looked into it yet, but hey why not? Any particular item(s) you think would be a good idea? I'm open to suggestions!
And I really dig the idea of top cities that haven't hosted the Olympics, but should. That's a cool concept... and as someone who grew up just outside Toronto, I'd definitely have a bias to including that one lol
I am actually working on an NCAA video as we speak, though not zooming in on the DII and DIII sports just yet. But I'll do some more research into it, thanks for the suggestion!
I would love to see mega ramp and vert skateboarding. A lot of people say the olympics are boring. Easiest chances for bad injury lead to these being so entertaining
IOC definitely doesn't want injuries, nothing ruins a money-printing business quite like it. But there's gotta be a way to introduce more extreme sports in a logical way
Hear me out. I think Chris Jericho's idea for professional wrestling as an Olympic sport could work. Treat it like a routine sport like gymnastics or ice skating. Select judges from actoss the professional wrestling world who value diffrent styles (lucha, strong style, high flying, power) Each country gets 6 wreslers and 30 minutes. They choose what matches they want to do. Dq's, no weapons, just in ring technical work.
Here is a video idea, talk about the history of baseball in East Asia and the pacific region. It's quite fascinating how the US spread baseball to Japan, who in turn spread baseball to China, SE Asia and Korea.
@@voxathletica Also relating to baseball, please talk about how teams cheat in the MLB, with either, pitchers messing with the ball or spotters revealing pitcher's plays, ect...
If we're adding sports, we probably need a list getting rid of some to make room. I'll start; breakdancing (I mean wtf) Golf Football (It's pointless, football has a world cup) Tennis (Singles)
Believe it or not, I have an ENTIRE video coming out next week on breakdancing and why it shouldn't be an Olympic event. At first I thought it was going to be kinda controversial, but the more comments I get on it, the more I realize we're basically all on the same page
I would make a difference between Men's and Women's football. It's the biggest tournament for women so it has a place IMO. I would also look at swimming, there are so many events with the same athletes. It's just too much at this point.
Am I the only one who wonders why Americans don't learn handball & rugby......2 sports we would dominate. Please make a video about which sports other countries play that America could easily win gold 🥇 medals in
Rugby is an interesting one, it's got some parallels with American Football, or at least enough that there are many, many transferable skills. But I think that's what holds it back in America, kids and money just get funneled into American Football that rugby is an afterthought. If they allocated even 1% of the budget to rugby from American Football, they'd do amazing. And don't even start me on Handball, it's literally baseball, basketball, and hockey in a single sport. Why it's not huge in America boggles my mind
@@voxathletica Well we know why 🏉 rugby isn't more popular in the US.....Could you imagine telling your mom you're going to play football without shoulder pads/ a helmet????
Idea for video: The 10 greatest rivalries in sports. Like Djokovic vs. Murrey in tennis, Lin Dan vs. Lee Chong Wei in badminton, Mikkel Hansen vs. Nikola Karabatic in handball, Messi vs. Ronaldo in football and so on. The ten greatest partipants in the Olympics. Not sure how you would do that, but could be something like how many medals each has won for different sports.
2 or 3 folks have brought up the rivalry idea, whether it's for individuals like you mention or team vs team or nation vs nation. I absolutely love it, I think it could be a whole weekly series, there's so much to discuss there. Thank you very much for the ideas, I really appreciate it. I want to make sure I'm putting out videos that folks are interested in, so suggestions like your mean a lot!
@@LouiseAndersen1991 Great, thanks for confirming! RUclipsrs seem to be trending towards like 20-40 minute videos and I just feel like I shouldn't pad videos just to make the run time long, ya know?
4:24 How about after the opening ceremony parade, the Olympics start with the relay? Gold medalist for the relay, (men’s and women’s) lights the torch.
It's truly surprising that kabaddi isn't part of the Olympics. Kabaddi is a sport that demands power, accuracy, and stamina-it's a complete test of athleticism. The game is immensely popular, especially in countries like India, where it has a rich history and is played by millions. Kabaddi leagues, such as the Pro Kabaddi League, have also gained international attention, drawing large audiences and showcasing the sport's intense physical and strategic elements. Given its widespread appeal and the level of skill required, it's remarkable that kabaddi hasn't yet been recognized on the Olympic stage.
It's an amazing sport for sure, I think it simply hasn't reached a sufficiently large global audience or become internationally competitive enough. At least not yet. If that changes (as it's slowly changing now), then this will be in the Olympics for sure at some point.
Adding more events means more competitors and that is not what the IOC wants or needs so a new sport with a limited number of competitors makes more sense than a teamsport. Adding more events for swimmers is quite dumb because there already so (or too) many ,switching around wich swim events there are on the games might be a better idea.
That absolutely makes sense, it's already a pretty substantial program as it is. Are there any specific events you advocate to see removed to make room for new sports/events?
Cue sports would be a great shout imo. Snooker is a sport growing in worldwide popularity, and while I do think maybe I'm only saying it because I'm British and it definitely gets dominated by the British players, there are players from a few other countries that could challenge, especially if Northern Irish players choose to represent Ireland over the UK. Besides, other sports are dominated by 1 nation, such as table tennis by China, so that shouldn't really be a problem. The tour format is generally quite long winded and while I love watching it, I can understand an outsider not being thrilled about watching it. The snooker shootout is hated by the snooker purists and allows for much more upsets, however the short format is very exciting. I think if it was to be added to the Olympics, you'd either need a shootout style format in groups, giving each player the chance to make up for mistakes, or you'd need maybe best of 3 to still keep the format short but still require that extra bit of consistency. The women's game is also growing. Pool is a much more worldwide sport and therefore I think makes it a stronger candidate for the Olympics. Current formats already put it at a reasonable length for spectators to watch, and there are also team formats which is always good to watch at the Olympics in any sport. You've got 8 ball and 9 ball as well, meaning you can easily have multiple different medal categories. Eg. Singles 8 ball, team 8 ball, singles 9 ball, team 9 ball, (all 4 in men and women's formats), plus mixed team 8 ball and mixed team 9 ball. That's 10 different medal events
I had actually lobbied for snooker in a previous video, but I think you're right that 8-ball or 9-ball is the more likely first entrant to the games from cue sports. As you point out, it's more popular around the world, has greater support from men and women, and it has more national support in all likelihood. But it would be a great start, that's for sure!
You should make a video on your opinion whether or not motorsports should be in the Olympics, and which ones would you want. For example, dont include stock car racing, because theres almost no physicality, but motorcross requires so much work and it would definitely be very interesting especially since its already so popular
Ok so hear me out. It would take time for it to be spread, so it wouldn't be an immediate request. But Marching band. Similar to DCI. But, you allow all ages to compete. It is physical and has a scoring aspect to it. Just an idea.
0:50 “that’s right, no referees.” And the guy in the black pants and striped shirt walking along with the game play, bending down to closely see if the catch was made, is…?
Per Wikipedia: From its beginnings in the American counterculture of the late 1960s, ultimate has resisted empowering any referee with rule enforcement. Instead, it relies on the sportsmanship of players and invokes the "spirit of the game" to maintain fair play. Players call their own fouls, and dispute a foul only when they genuinely believe it did not occur. Playing without referees is the norm for league play but has been supplanted in club competition by the use of "observers" or "game advisors" to help in disputes, and the professional league employs empowered referees.
Ultimate, Sepak Takraw, and the swimming and track event variations are all fantastic editions! Futsal in my opinion can even go ahead and replace regular 11-a-side football as the men’s competitions in particular are very lack lustre. Powerlifting becoming a sport I’m not a fan of because weightlifting already has a tonne of doping problems and I heard might even be taken off the Olympic calendar because of it. And while, I love the thought of mountain biking being in the Olympics it’s a bit of a hard sport to include, like surfing and is very conditional depending on whom the host is. Like the surfing in Paris 2024 is amazing but the surfing in Tokyo 2020 was just lame and not exciting. So it’ll be very reliant on whether or not the host can find a mountain for downhill to be hosted.
Fair points all around. Re. futsal, we are on the same page, I have brought this up in other comments before but the current football/soccer U-23 format is actually kind of a letdown for fans. Futsal would freshen this right up and probably appeal to even MORE people than the current football/soccer setup
More Mixed gender events (2 or 4 person teams) to allow for more nations. Mixed team mountain bike relay, Mixed team BMX racing, Mixed team 5K ocean swim, Mixed team cross country athletics over the mountain bike course.
Definitely agree on the mixed gender events, it not only creates some interesting and unique options and, perhaps more importantly, it forces nations to put more money into women's sports, which tend to be dramatically underfunded
I think pingpong must be Olympic so everyone can see it is a different sport than tabletennis with different players who good at one of those two sports. Fusball must be Olympic as quick as possible. I think it's ready for it.
@@voxathletica Yes, indeed. The football now on the Olympics isn't special or great. Also because of the world cup of football is more special. I think only football and rugby has a more special tournament outside the Olympics than on the Olympics. Maybe also cycling (tour the France). Downhill mountainbiking is a great sport but i think it won't be Olympic because there are places with no mountains. For example if Amsterdam will organize another Olympic game you can't maken a track over there for it. Maybe near Maastricht but it's only 300 m high. To low for a good long downhill track i think.
What about fursuit dancing or mascoting. As that we have horses galloping in a middle of a flat empty paddock with a rider made as dancing called “Dressage” and the rider is hardly doing anything. And Rhythmic Gymnastics where it’s most likely dancing. What if you put the competitors in full body animal costumes and impress judges by dancing for medals.
You know, I think you're the first person to suggest that one, but I get your idea. You're totally right, if you combine dressage and gymnastics, it's mascoting. I doubt the IOC goes for it, but the logic is right!!
@@voxathletica and not only that but Olympics is originally a test on the ability of humans of each original event. If you put on a mascot costume to perform and keep it on requires adaptation to heat, and it limits your senses including peripheral vision, hearing ability, and depending on the costume itself, they limit the mobility of the wearer. As a fursuiter that wears a costume as a hobby I know the risk factors and limits of wearing a costume as a performer.
Someone else brought up Olympic scandals, I think it's a great idea. But you're suggesting broader sports scandals/controversies/conspiracies, right? I'm on board with both, just wanted to confirm!
Ultimate yes, 4×200 and 4×800 yes all the rest no some bad for the environment. powerlifting to many doping, futsal would take a way from handball, sepak tapraw would take away from volleyball
When you say that a couple of the events "take away" from other events, what do you mean by that? They are totally different players, and while there is a somewhat similar vibe, do you believe that people who would normally watch handball and volleyball will just no longer watch it and opt for the new ones instead?
@@voxathletica Beach volleyball takes away from volleyball by taking away the best players and viewers on TV so the other one will do the same thing. The other one is so similar to handball it will do the same and since the USA is not in it unless we host the olympics they don't put it on TV
Dodgeball should be added to Olympic this sport popular in USA even in cartoon like kick buttowski dodgeball appear in this cartoon while Malaysia had recently been world champion of men dodgeball event in 2022 despite this sport is not popular in Malaysia,so why not add dodgeball to olympics?
Amen to that! Olympic football is such a shadow of what folks want, it makes sense to sub in some stuff that would expand the game, shed light on new athletes, and be more entertaining
Futsal is so perfect for the olympics!
100% agree, it literally checks every box for inclusion and then it checks a bunch more for good measure
@@voxathletica and then ditch the normal football tournament which is only some kind of gimmick at the current Olympics.
@tammo100 Too bad
One sport that was in the Olympics once is the mixed material arts and also netball which I am surprised it's not
There are a bunch of former Olympic events which, at least personally, I like better than a lot of current ones. That's obviously a personal taste, but I think they should do a retro Olympics at some point with all of the old events
Thanks for considering my suggestion (Sepak Takraw)... yesss Sepak Takraw is very popular here in South East Asia. I am from the Philippines by the way.
It's an amazing sport, it's so much fun to watch and becoming more and more popular globally, it's a great choice!

Lumber jack sports would be the single most entertaining thing they could add to the Olympics PERIOD
Quite a few folks have brought up lumberjack sports. It's like a rural, rugged strongman competition, I love it
Totally need some Highland Games events in the Olympics
they need to add ball hockey. its already played in many countries around the world during the summer when ice hockey is less accessible
Agreed. Either ball hockey or roller hockey should go into the summer Olympics. If we can have field hockey and ice hockey, I don't see why not
I could actually be in the Olympics if this was a sport. The only thing stopping me from doing ice hockey is my lack of coordination when skating. I used to dominate much older competition in street hockey because of my extensive experience with the sport, having watched and played it since age 1. I know all the ins and outs, I just need to get in shape and get some reps in and I'll be ready to win!
Sepak Takraw looks awesome! In a similar vein I wouldn't complain if Teqball made it into the Olympics!
I never grew up knowing what Sepak Takraw was, and I hadn't seen it until a few years ago, but now that I've checked it out I'm convinced it's one of the most difficult sports in the world. I'd love to see it in the Games!
As far as the type of content to make after the Olympics, you might have dug yourself into an athletics/sports niche whether you intended to or not.
Not sure how well non-athletic videos would perform with your audience since most of the subs have likely come from the Olympics videos.
These are very broad ideas but maybe things like:
Top 10 Teams in [Sport]
Top 10 Athletes in [Sport]
Top 10 Stadiums in [Sport]
Top 10 Fan Bases in [Sport]
Top 10 Plays in [Sport] All Time
Another reason I’ve enjoyed watching your Olympics videos is that I can learn a little about some of the more unusual/obscure sports that the Olympics have that I normally never watch.. so maybe you could play off that too.
Growing/Dying Sports
Most Unusual Sports
Extinct/failed sports

I'm voting for the "beer mile". Run 4 laps of a 400m track but you have to drink a beer at the start of each lap. Already an event with official rules.
Lots of tactical considerations. If you vomit you are disqualified so do you drink fast or slow, drink a smaller high alcohol beer or a larger, lower alcohol beer.
The drawback is certain countries wouldn't be able to compete for, you know, reasons, but it would make for great television. The post race interviews would be awesome.
LOL it probably won't make the cut at the Olympics, but there is no denying that there would be a TON of folks who would be very, very interested in watching this
It's a great list, I'd love to see the futsal in the olympics as well as the mtb races. How about a top 10 criminals who were stupid enough to get arrested easily.
LOL love that idea, and I love stupid criminals
That´s a list I would to see!
Futsal, ball hockey and mixed distance relay sounds fantastic 👌
I think Futsal is the most requested new sport in the comments across all of my videos, and honestly, the viewers are totally right on that one. It really needs to get into the Olympics ASAP
When I did athletics the mixed relay was 2 x 100, 1 x 200 and 1x 400. Another version is 2 x 200, 1 400 and 800. The reason why they do shorter sprints first is because once you get past the first bend + straight running leg they move to the inside lane, otherwise the outside lanes would run more than the inside lanes.
This would happen 100m into the 3rd leg of the 2 x100medley and 100m into the 2nd leg in the 2x200 medley.
Very cool, and good points, thanks for your comment!
Thanks for including my suggestion, ultimate frisbee, on this video!
It's an amazing sport, no doubt about it!
Futsal replacing football is a great idea. The 50m pool events should be obvious. Would love to see what Tom Pidcock would do with downhill mountain bike !
Two more - Underwater Hockey- already in SE Asian games, big following in Asia and played world wide. Netball, one of the biggest events in the Commonwealth games, big in Africa and the Caribbean, a really exciting event.
Hadn't seen that second event before, could definitely do with more exposure, wow !
Sepak takraw is wild, isn't it?!?! Sounds like we're on the same page with quite a few of these, neat idea with Underwater Hockey too. I don't know much about that one, but it sure looks interesting!
Hey. Another idea I just had was Top ten GOATs of all GOATs. So like Simone Biles and Michael Phelps and Lin Dan. Athletes who either are or were so freaking good no could ever touch them. And you really need to include Lin Dan in that video, even though I know badminton might not be your favorite sport.
But just in terms of Olympics the man won two Olympic Gold medals. He also won five world Championships all on his own and so many other damn records.
That's a great idea! And hey, I can include any athlete from any event; it may not be my favourite sport, I may not think it should be an Olympic sport, but I can respect unbelievable talent. I'm putting this idea on the list, thank you!
@@voxathletica Exactly. Just because the sport is not an Olympic sport or you might not like it much, you have to respect the athlete.
The summer games are already overcrowded. One way to get new sports into the Olympic Games could be to move some into the winter games, e.g. indoor activities like handball and/or basket.
Definitely doable, and a great idea if you ask me. It would be a way to get more nations involved in the winter Olympics too, or at least a bit more than now
Pickleball should definitely be added
So should cliff diving
I think you're the first person to bring up cliff diving, it's a really cool choice for another artistic/judged event. Like it's just an extension of the diving that's already well established, so it makes sense
Yes pickleball!!
@@ColeyPoleyInc Agree... Cliff Diving is also a great choice.
No and no.
With how much pickleball has grown, I expect it to be added by '32 at the latest.
Events id like to see either return or be added
-12 hour long bike race
-Rope climbing competitions
-1 hour foot race (or other time lengths)
-SKATE (like a game of Horse with a basketball, but with skateboarding tricks, in a tournament format)
-Tug of War
-Diving for depth
-Horse Racing
-Fishing
-snowboard/skiing relay races
-Polo
So many good ones on your list, have you considered doing your own top ten list?!
Road Cycling Stage Racing and a team time trial for the Olympics. Power Soccer for the Paralympics.
You know, I think you're the first person to suggest Power Soccer, interesting!
@@voxathletica i know it was considered for LA Paralympics.
Suggestions
-sports that are the most popular in very few countries and non existent in the rest of the world
-football soccer countries that are not affiliated to they're geographical continental confederation. Examples Suriname, Australia
-sports that are terrible for tv
-sports that are perfect for tv
-biggest upsets in sport
-biggest comebacks
-strange borders
-Strange world records
-big companies that went bankrupt
Thank you so much, you've got some amazing suggestions there, one of which was already on my radar so great minds think alike. I appreciate it, thanks again!
Synchronized Trampoline & Synchronized Skating ⛸ Should Be added to the Olympics
Both are options a few other viewers suggested, so it certainly has some fans!
Also I wouldn't mind them bringing back figures as they have updated on what you do for it making it more interesting
Having 2 people on a competition-standard trampoline at the same time is too dangerous imo
@payrysdoscs4903 what you would do would be like diving and have two with a bit of space
I am in for Synchronised trampoline
Futsal seems simple enough to bring to the Olympics. It uses a handball court so the playing surfaces will already be there.
Absolutely agree 100%, across all of my videos Futsal has been the #1 viewer recommended sport to go into the Olympics and it's very easy to see why
Maybe it's a bit of a brazilian bias, but I think Footvolley could be added alongside Sepak Takraw. It's played in the same venue as beach volleyball and requires no additional equipment. But guess it's a long way to become popular outside Brazil
It's a great example of a fantastic sport that just hasn't caught on (yet) around the world. The IOC claims to really care about their events being globally competitive, so something like Footvolley has got some work to do. But a lot of the events we know and love today started out that way, so anything is possible!
I think futsal/beach soccer would be good instead of football, I also think obstacle courses would be a cool addition, they are replacing equestrian with it in the modern pentathlon starting 2028 but I think it’d be cool as it’s own event
Futsal should absolutely be in the games or even outright replace the current football event for a bunch of reasons. And great point on the obstacle course: as you say, it's coming in the modern pentathlon but it's awesome enough to deserve its own stand-alone event
Lifesaving
I like it
Actually surflifesaving
I like it even more!
We ran the distance medly relay in college. (400, 800, 1200, 1500)
I think it's a perfect amount of distance without going overboard
Nice, what did you think of it as an event?
Distance medley relay (1200, 400, 800, 1600).
There are so many great permutations of distance medleys I think we'd all love to see happen, and that's definitely one of them!
I'm not sure if the order I listed is accurate according to the NCAA Championship.
Sprint medley relay and shuttle hurdle is an exciting event to watch.
Futsal's hockey equivalent ball/floor/cosom hockey should be in the Summer Games. A lot of the countries that don't have a presence in (ice) hockey have solid teams in this sport and there's even world championships for both genders.
Yes, totally agree. I'm shocked the ice hockey people of the world aren't pushing harder for floor or ball or roller hockey equivalents in the summer, it feels like it makes sense in a big way
Love to see a video about world champions like if you can combined all the world cups and world champions of all sports who would be the world champions of world champions
Oh that's a cool idea, I'll do some research, thanks for the suggestion!
Bowling!!!
Amen, it oughta be there!
Adding Kabaddi to the Olympics would bring a fresh, exciting, and culturally rich sport to the global stage. Its inclusion would celebrate diversity, encourage greater international participation, and showcase the intense skill and athleticism of its players. Kabaddi deserves a spot in the Olympics!
It's a wonderful game, no doubt, and it's super popular in certain areas. I think if it can gain a little bit more of a global following, it's a shoo-in for inclusion
I'll have to look that up
If they want to keep young people interested, they could add:
BMX Park
Skateboard Vert
BMX Vert
Yes, those would definitely help with younger viewers, as would a handful of other cool options
Mixed shuttle hurdle relay
Interesting idea!
One problem of the Olympics is there's so many events and its hard to keep it relevant. So only the more popular sports would be added, and dying ones would be taken away.
The IOC has actually been refreshingly honest on that topic, they clearly have indicated that they need to find ways to attract and retain more viewers, especially younger viewers. It's clear that there are fewer and fewer cities willing to host the games, and there are also fewer spectators and TV viewers, so the IOC has gotta keep tinkering with the formula to keep it going
@@voxathletica If you want to attract more younger viewers adding more longer distance events is not a good idea
50m butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke which are all held at the World Championships Swimming but not at the Olympics. Futsal and then ditch the standard soccer tournament. Beach handball so that handball also has a second event just like basketball (3x3) and volleyball (beach). Cyclo-cross (perhaps at Winter Olympics). Return of the Road Team Time Trial in cycling.
All fantastic ideas, love 'em
All of the relays mentioned should be added, a 4x3200 would be cool too. I wish that Cross Country would be recognized by the IOC
Cross country really needs to get into the games, either that or trail running. They are becoming too popular globally to be left out
Mixed distance relay don't have any sens at all, because you can win much more time at longer part of it.
Sure, but that applies to all teams equally, doesn't it?
It would also be neat to have some sort of fitness contest where the actual events are announced right before each one. Similar to the cross fit games.
Interesting idea!
Tug of war!
I'd love to see it come back!
They need to put in Women’s Beach Handball for the men of culture to watch!
And I'm assuming there would also be the Men's Beach Handball for the women of culture, right?
There's also a 4x1500m relay in T&F, but I understand why that wasn't talked about as much as the 4x2 and 4x8.
Also a great option IMHO. I think the longer the distance, the less interesting it is for the average viewer, but that's just a guess
@@voxathletica facts bro
Would u make merch! I would 100% get it! I actually introduced u To my other friends and they adore you as well. You are criminally underrated. And maybe you can make a list like 10 cities you wish the Olympics were in like for example Toronto!
Hey thanks for making some introductions, I'm so glad to hear that you (and now your friends) are enjoying the channel, cheers!
On the merch side, I hadn't actually looked into it yet, but hey why not? Any particular item(s) you think would be a good idea? I'm open to suggestions!
And I really dig the idea of top cities that haven't hosted the Olympics, but should. That's a cool concept... and as someone who grew up just outside Toronto, I'd definitely have a bias to including that one lol
@@voxathletica hahah and maybe tshirts! I grew up in Ottawa so that’s why I said Toronto hahah
@@Signe_x Ok, I'll keep t-shirts in mind, I'll start doing a little merch research! Respect to Ottawa, amazing city
Dodgeball, bench-ball and chess-boxing should all be added
You got my vote
Cover division II and III sports!
Sidenote, women’s soccer at the Olympics is very exciting!
I am actually working on an NCAA video as we speak, though not zooming in on the DII and DIII sports just yet. But I'll do some more research into it, thanks for the suggestion!
I would love to see mega ramp and vert skateboarding. A lot of people say the olympics are boring. Easiest chances for bad injury lead to these being so entertaining
IOC definitely doesn't want injuries, nothing ruins a money-printing business quite like it. But there's gotta be a way to introduce more extreme sports in a logical way
@@voxathletica I like the street and park skate boarding but I think vert halvepipe is the next logical step. The mega ramp is just a fever dream
Hear me out.
I think Chris Jericho's idea for professional wrestling as an Olympic sport could work.
Treat it like a routine sport like gymnastics or ice skating.
Select judges from actoss the professional wrestling world who value diffrent styles (lucha, strong style, high flying, power)
Each country gets 6 wreslers and 30 minutes. They choose what matches they want to do. Dq's, no weapons, just in ring technical work.
Hey, if breakdancing can be in the Olympics, then so could professional wrestling
Sepak Takraw used to be Philippines National Sports too
Amazing sport, I bet Philippines would do well in sepak takraw at the Olympics
Here is a video idea, talk about the history of baseball in East Asia and the pacific region. It's quite fascinating how the US spread baseball to Japan, who in turn spread baseball to China, SE Asia and Korea.
Great idea, thanks! I'm putting it on my list!
@@voxathletica Also relating to baseball, please talk about how teams cheat in the MLB, with either, pitchers messing with the ball or spotters revealing pitcher's plays, ect...
@@theawesomeman9821 Another great idea, thank you! I'm a baseball nut so this is up my alley
If we're adding sports, we probably need a list getting rid of some to make room. I'll start;
breakdancing (I mean wtf)
Golf
Football (It's pointless, football has a world cup)
Tennis (Singles)
Believe it or not, I have an ENTIRE video coming out next week on breakdancing and why it shouldn't be an Olympic event. At first I thought it was going to be kinda controversial, but the more comments I get on it, the more I realize we're basically all on the same page
Narh. Tennis is a great sport. they just have the worst point system in the world. Like for real.
@@LouiseAndersen1991 it's more that tennis has its own thing going on that's bigger, same goes for football and golf. They don't need Olympic exposure
I would make a difference between Men's and Women's football. It's the biggest tournament for women so it has a place IMO. I would also look at swimming, there are so many events with the same athletes. It's just too much at this point.
Am I the only one who wonders why Americans don't learn handball & rugby......2 sports we would dominate. Please make a video about which sports other countries play that America could easily win gold 🥇 medals in
Rugby is an interesting one, it's got some parallels with American Football, or at least enough that there are many, many transferable skills. But I think that's what holds it back in America, kids and money just get funneled into American Football that rugby is an afterthought. If they allocated even 1% of the budget to rugby from American Football, they'd do amazing.
And don't even start me on Handball, it's literally baseball, basketball, and hockey in a single sport. Why it's not huge in America boggles my mind
@@voxathletica Well we know why 🏉 rugby isn't more popular in the US.....Could you imagine telling your mom you're going to play football without shoulder pads/ a helmet????
@@voxathletica Maaaaaaan....The first time I saw a handball game, I was like 🤭 Yoooooo it looks like a more simplified version of the AND1 MIXTAPE
Idea for video: The 10 greatest rivalries in sports. Like Djokovic vs. Murrey in tennis, Lin Dan vs. Lee Chong Wei in badminton, Mikkel Hansen vs. Nikola Karabatic in handball, Messi vs. Ronaldo in football and so on.
The ten greatest partipants in the Olympics. Not sure how you would do that, but could be something like how many medals each has won for different sports.
2 or 3 folks have brought up the rivalry idea, whether it's for individuals like you mention or team vs team or nation vs nation. I absolutely love it, I think it could be a whole weekly series, there's so much to discuss there.
Thank you very much for the ideas, I really appreciate it. I want to make sure I'm putting out videos that folks are interested in, so suggestions like your mean a lot!
@@voxathletica No problem! I have found out I really enjoy your content. It´s exactly the right time for me
@@LouiseAndersen1991 When you say right time, you mean the +/- 10 minutes for each video?
@@voxathleticaYes. I feel like that is the perfect time for top ten videos. Not to long, not to short.
@@LouiseAndersen1991 Great, thanks for confirming! RUclipsrs seem to be trending towards like 20-40 minute videos and I just feel like I shouldn't pad videos just to make the run time long, ya know?
4:24 How about after the opening ceremony parade, the Olympics start with the relay? Gold medalist for the relay, (men’s and women’s) lights the torch.
Oh now that's an interesting idea, basically start the games off right there and then, talk about a global spotlight!
It's truly surprising that kabaddi isn't part of the Olympics. Kabaddi is a sport that demands power, accuracy, and stamina-it's a complete test of athleticism. The game is immensely popular, especially in countries like India, where it has a rich history and is played by millions. Kabaddi leagues, such as the Pro Kabaddi League, have also gained international attention, drawing large audiences and showcasing the sport's intense physical and strategic elements. Given its widespread appeal and the level of skill required, it's remarkable that kabaddi hasn't yet been recognized on the Olympic stage.
It's an amazing sport for sure, I think it simply hasn't reached a sufficiently large global audience or become internationally competitive enough. At least not yet. If that changes (as it's slowly changing now), then this will be in the Olympics for sure at some point.
Adding more events means more competitors and that is not what the IOC wants or needs so a new sport with a limited number of competitors makes more sense than a teamsport. Adding more events for swimmers is quite dumb because there already so (or too) many ,switching around wich swim events there are on the games might be a better idea.
That absolutely makes sense, it's already a pretty substantial program as it is. Are there any specific events you advocate to see removed to make room for new sports/events?
@@voxathletica Generally I think that the Equestrian sports don't make much sense anymore and shooting with guns should defenitly go.
Cue sports would be a great shout imo.
Snooker is a sport growing in worldwide popularity, and while I do think maybe I'm only saying it because I'm British and it definitely gets dominated by the British players, there are players from a few other countries that could challenge, especially if Northern Irish players choose to represent Ireland over the UK. Besides, other sports are dominated by 1 nation, such as table tennis by China, so that shouldn't really be a problem. The tour format is generally quite long winded and while I love watching it, I can understand an outsider not being thrilled about watching it. The snooker shootout is hated by the snooker purists and allows for much more upsets, however the short format is very exciting. I think if it was to be added to the Olympics, you'd either need a shootout style format in groups, giving each player the chance to make up for mistakes, or you'd need maybe best of 3 to still keep the format short but still require that extra bit of consistency. The women's game is also growing.
Pool is a much more worldwide sport and therefore I think makes it a stronger candidate for the Olympics. Current formats already put it at a reasonable length for spectators to watch, and there are also team formats which is always good to watch at the Olympics in any sport. You've got 8 ball and 9 ball as well, meaning you can easily have multiple different medal categories. Eg. Singles 8 ball, team 8 ball, singles 9 ball, team 9 ball, (all 4 in men and women's formats), plus mixed team 8 ball and mixed team 9 ball. That's 10 different medal events
I had actually lobbied for snooker in a previous video, but I think you're right that 8-ball or 9-ball is the more likely first entrant to the games from cue sports. As you point out, it's more popular around the world, has greater support from men and women, and it has more national support in all likelihood. But it would be a great start, that's for sure!
You should make a video on your opinion whether or not motorsports should be in the Olympics, and which ones would you want. For example, dont include stock car racing, because theres almost no physicality, but motorcross requires so much work and it would definitely be very interesting especially since its already so popular
Interesting video idea, I like it. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll put it on my list! Any non-Olympic video ideas you would like to see me work on?
How about a triathlon relay with single sports althetes doing each leg. Say katie ladecky doing the swim leg.
LOL now that would be fun, I like that one
Ok so hear me out. It would take time for it to be spread, so it wouldn't be an immediate request. But Marching band. Similar to DCI. But, you allow all ages to compete. It is physical and has a scoring aspect to it. Just an idea.
Hey, it's not the worst idea I've heard, that's for sure. The worst idea would be breakdancing
0:50 “that’s right, no referees.” And the guy in the black pants and striped shirt walking along with the game play, bending down to closely see if the catch was made, is…?
Per Wikipedia:
From its beginnings in the American counterculture of the late 1960s, ultimate has resisted empowering any referee with rule enforcement. Instead, it relies on the sportsmanship of players and invokes the "spirit of the game" to maintain fair play. Players call their own fouls, and dispute a foul only when they genuinely believe it did not occur. Playing without referees is the norm for league play but has been supplanted in club competition by the use of "observers" or "game advisors" to help in disputes, and the professional league employs empowered referees.
Disc golf?
I think Ultimate would go into the games first, but I could absolutely get behind disc golf
Ultimate, Sepak Takraw, and the swimming and track event variations are all fantastic editions!
Futsal in my opinion can even go ahead and replace regular 11-a-side football as the men’s competitions in particular are very lack lustre.
Powerlifting becoming a sport I’m not a fan of because weightlifting already has a tonne of doping problems and I heard might even be taken off the Olympic calendar because of it.
And while, I love the thought of mountain biking being in the Olympics it’s a bit of a hard sport to include, like surfing and is very conditional depending on whom the host is. Like the surfing in Paris 2024 is amazing but the surfing in Tokyo 2020 was just lame and not exciting. So it’ll be very reliant on whether or not the host can find a mountain for downhill to be hosted.
Fair points all around. Re. futsal, we are on the same page, I have brought this up in other comments before but the current football/soccer U-23 format is actually kind of a letdown for fans. Futsal would freshen this right up and probably appeal to even MORE people than the current football/soccer setup
They could call ultimate “ultimate saucer” or “ultimate flying saucer” instead of “ultimate frisbee”
I think they just call it "Ultimate", but it breakdancing can be rebranded to breaking, then I'm sure they can sort something out for Ultimate Frisbee
Maybe cause I live near water but I would like to see Wakeboard and Waterski
More and more open water events are being added it seems, so you might get your wish!
More Mixed gender events (2 or 4 person teams) to allow for more nations.
Mixed team mountain bike relay, Mixed team BMX racing, Mixed team 5K ocean swim, Mixed team cross country athletics over the mountain bike course.
Definitely agree on the mixed gender events, it not only creates some interesting and unique options and, perhaps more importantly, it forces nations to put more money into women's sports, which tend to be dramatically underfunded
there should be downhill skateboarding and track event where the slowest runner gets dropped each lap
Downhill T&F sometimes works and sometimes very doesn't.
Downhill skateboarding, as in just for a speed race or more like a slalom ski style thing?
5:15 - we already have too much swimming discipline (compare to others sports), so adding new sound like ridiculous idea))
Could we add some and remove some others?
Please tell me Gaga ball or 4 square is in here
Sorry, I'm afraid not.... but there could always be a part two!
4 square is for anyone like I can see a random country winning gold
I think pingpong must be Olympic so everyone can see it is a different sport than tabletennis with different players who good at one of those two sports.
Fusball must be Olympic as quick as possible. I think it's ready for it.
Futsal is not only overdue itself to join the games, but it's actually a way, way better option than the current U-23 football setup in my opinion
@@voxathletica Yes, indeed. The football now on the Olympics isn't special or great. Also because of the world cup of football is more special. I think only football and rugby has a more special tournament outside the Olympics than on the Olympics. Maybe also cycling (tour the France).
Downhill mountainbiking is a great sport but i think it won't be Olympic because there are places with no mountains. For example if Amsterdam will organize another Olympic game you can't maken a track over there for it. Maybe near Maastricht but it's only 300 m high. To low for a good long downhill track i think.
What about fursuit dancing or mascoting. As that we have horses galloping in a middle of a flat empty paddock with a rider made as dancing called “Dressage” and the rider is hardly doing anything. And Rhythmic Gymnastics where it’s most likely dancing. What if you put the competitors in full body animal costumes and impress judges by dancing for medals.
You know, I think you're the first person to suggest that one, but I get your idea. You're totally right, if you combine dressage and gymnastics, it's mascoting. I doubt the IOC goes for it, but the logic is right!!
@@voxathletica and not only that but Olympics is originally a test on the ability of humans of each original event. If you put on a mascot costume to perform and keep it on requires adaptation to heat, and it limits your senses including peripheral vision, hearing ability, and depending on the costume itself, they limit the mobility of the wearer. As a fursuiter that wears a costume as a hobby I know the risk factors and limits of wearing a costume as a performer.
Cornhole and Gateball. do it.
I think you're the first person to bring up Gateball, interesting!
World chase tag
Love it!
Powerlifting is in Paralympics
100% correct, I am working on a paralympic video as we speak that talks about just that!
Can u do top 10 underrated sports
Definitely, that's a good idea. Not sure how I'd define underrated, but I'll give it some thought for sure!
@@voxathletica thx!
Can u do top 10 sports scandals /conspiracies
Someone else brought up Olympic scandals, I think it's a great idea. But you're suggesting broader sports scandals/controversies/conspiracies, right? I'm on board with both, just wanted to confirm!
@@voxathletica yes sir!
billiard
Definitely should be there, or 8-ball or 9-ball pool at least
you missed out on putting disc golf on this list
Ultimate Frisbee was my disc event for this one, disc golf ain't far behind!
Ultimate yes, 4×200 and 4×800 yes all the rest no some bad for the environment. powerlifting to many doping, futsal would take a way from handball, sepak tapraw would take away from volleyball
When you say that a couple of the events "take away" from other events, what do you mean by that? They are totally different players, and while there is a somewhat similar vibe, do you believe that people who would normally watch handball and volleyball will just no longer watch it and opt for the new ones instead?
@@voxathletica Beach volleyball takes away from volleyball by taking away the best players and viewers on TV so the other one will do the same thing. The other one is so similar to handball it will do the same and since the USA is not in it unless we host the olympics they don't put it on TV
Strict drug testing!?!? Hahahahahah.
I choose to believe it lol
Swimming should have lesser events. 1 super swimmer may win 7 or 8 events in 1 olympic.
Certainly many folks would agree with you on that one!
I’d love to see pickleball someday! Not sure how popular it is worldwide but it’s boomin in the US
It's booming here in Canada too, probably needs a little bit more international representation but it's growing fast
Dodgeball should be added to Olympic this sport popular in USA even in cartoon like kick buttowski dodgeball appear in this cartoon while Malaysia had recently been world champion of men dodgeball event in 2022 despite this sport is not popular in Malaysia,so why not add dodgeball to olympics?
Absolutely, more than a few folks have suggested that one!
We need darts
100% agree with you there, I actually made another video where I called for its inclusion in the games
To offset this shooting, skateboarding and breakdancing should be removed
Breaking is out, so there's one down, though LA 2028 has already announced what they are putting in instead
Football should be kicked out of olympics and be subbed with futsal and beach football
Amen to that! Olympic football is such a shadow of what folks want, it makes sense to sub in some stuff that would expand the game, shed light on new athletes, and be more entertaining
I think allstar/competitive cheerleading should be added to the Olympics
A few folks have brought that up. How big is it outside of the US? I don't know much about it
Bowling 🎳 🎳 🎳
It definitely should be in the games, no doubt
@@voxathletica hopefully 🙏
