Since there is a cap on the number of sports that can be in the Olympics, and the summer seems to have an abundance of events, couldn’t they move some summer sports to winter?

Moving some events would allow them to consider reinstating baseball and softball, but also adding other events, like American football, rugby, cricket, karate, reinstating tug-of-war, etc.
Many are indoor, so table tennis, boxing, weightlifting, wrestling, judo, and taekwondo could be moved easily. Gymnastics could also be moved, but I think it’s a major part of the summer games, so I wouldn’t want that.

What do you think?

    most of the sports you named are participated by alot of teams who just participate in summer games, doubt they would raise funds for another olympics

    Ice swimming and snowbank volleyball might be interesting to watch.

    basketball is actually held during the winter but for some reason it is in the summer olympics. but if they did move it to the winter olympics i guess they would have trouble getting the pro’s to compete in it. i would love to see tug o’ war in the olympics maybe they could do it in the snow

    Since thewinter olympics lasts as long as the summer ones it seems there are enough winter sports already.
