gunsports need to be removed from the olympics

[Dutchgamer1982]

***what sports give medals in the olympics changes every olympics.. some sports even have multiple medals for multiply types of disipline within one sport.

there are many sports that are populair in way more nations that are not on the olympic program.

for guns there are like 7 or more different medals.. but as usa is the only nation with legal guns.. it always wins all the medals in all 7.. it essentially gives away each olympics 7 medals to a local sport that no other nation partakes in.

this is bad.. so most of those shooting medals must be scrapped.. and replaced for sports that are currently not in olympic medals but should be
**just 1 medal related to guns should be suffice all other ones should be scrapped


sports that could replace them are for example :
**bowling (it may be a bit lowbrow but it's an globally enjoyed sport than bring in the vieuwers)
**jousting (lets remove it from the realm of reenactment shows and bring it to the spotlight,
**korfball
**fierljeppen

sports that essentially are only done in 1 nation.. should not be an olympic sport.
and certainly not one that has 7 medals tied to it..

it would be like if we take all the weird little local dutch sports that nobody else in the world even knows off and add medals to each of them... it would be no wonder if the dutch than always win those medals..

as only usa is gun obsessed.. adding gunsports should not be in the olympics.

Gun obsession is spending every single day trying to get rid of them when no one is shooting at you.

It's not Americas fault your country won't let you have guns if they did you might be able to earn a little freedom too

Bring back Pistol dueling with Wax Bullets like in 1908.

Wrong. As we have them in Switzerland, and we have many shooting ranges here in fact where a lot of people go to shoot guns.

Guns, as a matter of fact, can be comprehended by the European mind. As long as the European mind in question is willing.

Get rid of the Olympics altogether.

It is odd a team sport such as a hockey tournament renders 1 medal, same as each specific event in another sport. It is imbalanced. But anyone who actually watches surely cares about some medals more than others on their own.

People could say the whole thing should be re-imagined at some point: Do we need several different styles of fencing, when nearly no one can tell them apart? Do we need ski jumping, when most nations on Earth can't even practice the sport without traveling, or developing artificial snow? Etc.

I would say that sports presented in the olympics
***must be performed by a minimum of 1% of population in at least 25% of nations on earth.

(so skiing may stay... but to be fair likely some sport mostly done in hot middle eastern countries.. and that nobody in the skiing countries ever heared of .. would be added too..)

basicly sports that are populair widely so that many nations can compete..

another change I would make is that the gear would need to be standardised..
all athlethes in 1 sport being given the exact same gear, same shoes, same clothing, same sport equipment.

so that no medals are won by fancy inventions.. or by from a wealthier country.. but only by truelly being the better athlete.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing that the sport should be discontinued (I don't think it is exactly the most popular Olympic sport) but the idea that the US is the only 'player with a shot' on the field in that category of games is just plain false.

Medal summaries of the last two Olympics in the shooting category:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics#Medal_summary
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics#Medal_summary


If you notice, the US didn't rank as first in the category either year. In fact, the last time the US ranked first in category was 1984.
