The host nation often like to get events introduced that they excel in.
They current have 10m, 25m and 50m shooting categories. Expect to see drive-by added to that in LA 2028.

It's because the events weren't held in high schools
I assume that the answer is that they need more guns

I want the 50km race walking event banned for the same reason

We didn't beat the horses quite enough
My dad met him getting his covid booster back in 2021 at Crawley hospital, he was volunteering in helping to bring people through, thoroughly nice chap by all accounts
Not true. Charlotte Dujardin has won loads of golds for beating up horses. A mystery rival from the continent got her banned from this year's competition, so the door was nicely open for the Germans.

Maybe a touch of over-excitement there as Beth Tweddle would've put him 3rd or 4th.
Still, it's another medal to add to the tally.

Ah, okay. Well if you know about these things then maybe tell me what I was watching. I saw a horse trot on, do a little delighted jig, start walking backwards, then wander of again. Apparently the judges were most impressed. I was wondering when it was starting.
What I do know is that horses don't naturally do what you witnessed (like they naturally want to run a bit), and that Charlotte was whipping a horse a lot to make it do those weird things.
There's just no way that she decided to whip the horse for shits and giggles, if it had not already been proven that hitting the horse was a good way to make it do what you want.
The sport should be banned.
