I’d love to know which (if any) athletes were asked about this decision 🧐

Couldn’t agree more 🙌🏼 The Olympics should be the pinnacle of the sport for it to be included!!
Personally don’t feel any sport should be in the olympics unless it’s the pinicle of achievement in that given sport & requires a high level of physical fitness.. that’s my opinion after 11 olympics & 40yrs experience - but the IOC will make their choices based on tv dollars 💵
