Having two sets of olympics alternate every other year may be an issue. Doesn't seem as special.

Also, beginning in Tokyo 2020, the host country can add five sports to the 26-sport program to help local interest. Baseball and softball should be back at least for 2020.

True.

I just think of the thrill it was to watch someone like Eric Heiden (sp?) win the events he did, in a sport that was basically unfamiliar to me, versus watching the yawn of some of the pro team sports go through the motions.

The thrill of the hockey win 36 years ago (!!!) is still there...just seems that it has become a shell of its former self.
