Trail Running at Olympics in Brisbane 2032?

Egon Theiner writing for German Trail Running World (auto-translated via Safari):

Quietly and quietly, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has written to its Olympic trade associations. What World Athletics suggests, why the program of Los Angeles 2028 sets the bar even higher for Brisbane 2032 – and why ‘race walking’ of all things could clear the way.

If ‘trail running’ would become an Olympic sport due to ‘race walking’ getting the boot and making space for it, it would be a hilarious side story since a very controversial trail runner recently made the announcement they were trying themselves on the sport of ‘race walking’ after having more or less ‘crashed out’ in the trail space.

The Summer Olympics are ballooning bigger and bigger – and there’s increased competition for what sports are staying in and which ones are being kicked out. The Winter Olympics are held small-ish due to the self-imposed limitations that the sports have to be on “snow and ice”. This doesn’t have to be that way, I say again.
