How manny extra medals did Canada get over 2010 and 2014 because of the lack of many Russians? Relative because most of the ones not competing had doped but still.
Some new sports in 2020. 3 on 3 basketball. Skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing, squash and others. And more mixed male and female events like we saw with skiing.
Time change was tough to watch things live and brutal for sponsors to get viewership, but that’s the way it’s gong to for the next 6 years is Japan and China. And why the IOC is really going to want Calgary in 2026 and then Los Angeles after that.

I believe that CBC’s deal with the IOC ends after 2024... If Calgary gets the games in 2026 I’m scared that CTV will push for the rights again like they did for Vancouver.
