Mixed-gender events in athletics, swimming, table tennis and triathlon have been approved for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the IOC has announced.

The Games will include a 4x400m mixed relay in athletics and a 4x100m medley mixed relay in swimming.

IOC president Thomas Bach said the Games will be "more youthful, more urban and include more women".

Swimming will also include two further new events - a men's 800m and women's 1500m freestyle races.

Tokyo will have five more sports than Rio, taking the total to 33, but the existing sports have been given 15 more events.

Cycling has gained two new events, for men and women, and basketball will have a three-on-three event.

The introduction of freestyle BMX and the madison to the cycling programme make that sport the third largest at the Olympics in terms of medals, with 66 up for grabs.

Other additions include a mixed relay in the triathlon and a mixed doubles in table tennis.

"We have taken a really important step forward in terms of gender equality," said IOC sports director Kit McConnell.

Rio 2016 champion swimmer Adam Peaty said on Thursday the introduction of mixed events for Tokyo 2020 would make the Olympics "more fun".

He told BBC Sport: "It's something that would make things [at the Olympics] a little bit more fun.

"Obviously it's very serious, but it's great to mix things up from what they've been for so long as it adds a little spice and they're great to watch."

The IAAF welcomed the introduction of mixed relays but says it could be difficult to implement.

It said in a statement: "We should not expect the athletes entered to compete in the men's and women's 4x400m relays, from which the participants for the mixed relay will be naturally drawn, to compete in a third round of heats and finals for the mixed relay without allocating the appropriate space and time in the programme or enabling teams to bring additional athletes."

If you don't think this is great, I don't know what's wrong with you. The Olympics is probably the most discriminating test still conducted today that harshly shows the realities of differences in race and sex, women will lose by a massive margin to men in feats of exertion, and men will lose to women in feats of agility like gymnastics.

It'll cause a fantastic fallout of progressives screaming "It's not fair!" when they realize that man isn't made so equal.

Based Japan has called out the leftists

They're going to put all this "equality" to measure.

Watch as not a single woman wins a gold medal in the mixed fields.

Some sports men and women do compete at more or less the same level. There's no reason that the rifle/pistol/skeet/trap events be separated by gender. Biathlon makes sense because of the cardio element to it, but for the others...

>>129709943
So basically, a whole set of events for biological men to BFTO of women and prove inequality?
>>
>>129710735
Don't you realize that all the proposed mixed events are team sports where men and women will compete on same teams in equal numbers. So it won't really be men vs women in any scenario.

But arent the event theyre promoting here mixed? Relay racing will have men and women on the team and so forth. It wont highlight anything if thats how theyre going about it.

Wouldn't a team that actually wants to win just not have any women on it?

well they will force a quota of women to be sure
the best way to ruin a team is to add women to it, only unnecessary drama and more reason for infighting between guys
