I know that many of you are far from sport, however I participated in very excited conversations about the future of sport.

The starting point for the conversation was Conference
that will be held Stanford University. Where different smart people will talk about the future of sports.

It would be great to have Time Machine and travel to the future and see how different sport disciplines will be changed, which will disappear due to small popularity, which will be transformed by television to meet their needs.

The time is coming to change something, for example if we will take Olympic games, as even today Olympic game medal and win are priceless. But during last years, Olympic games popularity is fallen, especially among young people (14 – 18 years). As after 10 years, range could change from 14 to 28 years and so on. So what do they need ? I can guess that one thing is SHOW, so it will be hard way to find balance between conservatives sport disciplines (today) and show (tomorrow).

As well some other organizations like IAAF (International Associations of Athletic Federation) has plans to add more dynamism to different disciplines, for example something like playoff system for 10 000M distance running event, the last man is out for each lap (something like this).

So, it will be interesting to see evolution, probably computer games will take domination in sports of 2030, it could be that all disciplines will be joined and men and women will compete together, probably 100M distance running event will be substituted to steeplechase with M14 shooting, who knows…
