It is a genuinely radical plan, which speaks, in itself, to the severity of the problem. The number of sports included in the Games will be cut to 15, and only two of them, athletics and swimming, will be mandatory. The others will be drawn from a long list of core sports, or be local events selected because of their popularity in the host nation. E-sports and mass participation events have both been mentioned. Others smack of genuine desperation about the future of a Games that increasingly feels as though its time has passed.
