    For me it's Jiu jitsu and snooker (I know it's not a sport but neither is shooting)

    I would add MMA and martial arts not already there. I believe karate is being added in 2020.

    If they need to make room, I would get rid of the horse dancing. That isnt a sport - at least not unless you are a horse.

    The Olympics has a habit of bastardising some of the best sports around in the interest of keeping them family friendly and TV compliant. I think the UFC would probably love to see MMA introduced but I'm not sure the fans would. I know that the there's a fairly steady opinion in BJJ and Muay Thai that these sports shouldn't be added to the Olympics simply because you would dilute/sanitise something that is already great.

    Tbh I don't know if I would add anything. I would actually get rid of every sport in which the Olympics weren't the absolute pinnacle of the sport - football, golf, tennis etc.
