Funny that gaming is mentioned, 'ESports' is becoming a very real, very lucrative thing.
Esports - Wikipedia
My interest in the Olympic Games has been sporadic. There are events I enjoy watching, and marvel at the extremes people can push themselves. It has, however, been rekindled lately.
My best friend had an accident competing competitively in a road cycle race and is now paraplegic. Since then, he's taken to rowing as his sport and has claimed his seat in the Men's Singles for 2021 (after just missing out on the podium in the Worlds and gaining 3 Concept2 Indoor world records). His life-changing accident was only 4 years ago.
I disagree that they'll get rid of classic sports in favour of newer ones. There's still a lot of time, effort and money going into scholarships and suchlike for athletics and I don't doubt that'll continue. I can't think of a reasonable justification for getting rid of, e.g., javelin. I think it just expands the number of events rather than the number being set and trying to accommodate for newer ones.
