What limit,cant you send a lifter to every class?

Not sure if the question had been answered. IOC quota has it that every country can only send 10 athletes, 6 men & 4 women, so out of 15 weight class forget about sending two for every class, can't even send one for each. Common problem when China dominates in the field. Table tennis use to have doubles and mixed double, now these 3 event has been removed altogether.

Yeah, we see this shit again and again.

In table tennis they even made the balls larger to slow it down. Look behind the scenes and its usually a bunch of old white guys rigging the system.

This is why I say China should make it a priority to have more Chinese involved in these sports organisations.

They remove events for table tennis and yet they give out like 6 gold medals for bloody equestrian.

Who are the people that decide whether to remove events at table tennis? Is it the Table Tennis organisation or the IOC?

Who changes the rules?

The IOC or the particular sports governing organisation?

Not entirely true

Table Tennis was first introduced in 1988 which had the format of singles and doubles for men and women (4 gold medals in total)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_tennis_at_the_1988_Summer_Olympics

Until 2008, they replaced doubles events with team events but the total number of gold medals remained at 4 (2 singles and 2 teams) and the same thereafter in every Olympics until today
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_tennis_at_the_Summer_Olympics

However, the omission of mixed doubles and doubles are very odd
In tennis as well as in badminton, they all have 5 events: 2 singles 2 doubles and 1 mixed (no team event). So in view of China's supreme dominance in TT, we lose the chance of winning one additional gold (at least )

But I totally agree to the exclusion in Olympics of bloody Equestrian (6 events) which is a sport designed for the rich countries

" Equestrianism is not a cheap sport – it never has been. And really, it’s no longer a sport for the amateur, either, unless they’re independently wealthy. It is fast becoming a sport for monied nations" and
"The Brits are saying that for them to send a full eight teams to WEG, it will cost about $NZ 3.4 million. We won’t have that problem, at this stage anyway, with just two eventers and six jumping riders named on WEG squads. There’s no word yet on the dressage hopefuls. individuals."

IOC is really a western organization. They got pressure from a certain country to change the rules. Hell, they changed the rules for swimming also when German dominated. Now no more tight body fitting swimsuit allowed. US bitched about that.

Great to see that China is starting to make progress in rowing, I can see more success in this sport for China in the future!

You won 8 out of 15 gold medals. 5 out 15 in 2012. 5 out of 15 in 2004. There's still 15 in 2016 https://www.olympic.org/weightlifting

 

[Jlaw]

You won 8 out of 15 gold medals.

Won more in 2008 without the number of athletes restriction. In swimming there is no restriction on number of athletes per country. As long as you qualify you keep going until the finals. why put restriction for weight class in lifting?
