Just Found Out: Break Dancing is an Olympic Event.

[Servant King]

What's next? Pole dancing?

They'd have to overhaul the ranking mechanism for that one. Gold would be replaced by brass, silver would be aluminum (can I count on a @brian64 for a Festivus reference here?), and bronze...well, who the hell cares at that point; everyone gets a trophy!

Next up Beer Pong.

Here, the real winner would be who barfs the most afterward.

I wonder what two "sports" LA will choose as "exhibition sports?"

You just answered your own question...one of them will be exhibitionism!

The resultant barfing will be indistinguishable from that of the aforementioned Beer Pong event...

All sports are exhibitionistic when performed for an audience. That's the Games' intent. after all. Don't forget, the jocks in the early Olympics performed nude. So, nothing new there.

It's tailor-made for the new woke Olympics!

The opening ceremony should be the Airing of Grievances against Western Civilization.

Then combine pole dancing with Feats of Strength...and displace the old, oppressive traditions at the same time!

All while proudly and publicly displaying the extreme dysfunction of the new normal.

Guaranteed to get high ratings.

They must pick up and put down heavy stuffs often. With number of things keep breaking down.

What sort of puzzled me was number of countries had table tennis players that looked very much like Chinese.

Put it down to the "herbal soups" their grandmas feed to them
