Imagine dedicating your life to sports that require intense physical training for years to become an absolute machine for events such as the triathlon, road and track cycling, powerlifting etc just to be told your sport gets treated the same as dressage

IMO, the Olympic games would be more entertaining if they streamlined it down to the basics. I don't need to see something like golf at the games, there's already seasons for it, which I think is 6+ months.
