The 2024 Summer Paris Olympics marks a historic milestone as it commemorates 100 years since the city last hosted the Games in 1924. This centennial celebration is more than just a sporting event; it represents a century of progress, unity, and the enduring spirit of the Olympics
NEW Olympic Sports and Olympic Sports Removed
The 2024 Paris Olympics are aiming to appeal to younger fans by showcasing sports that are “closely associated with youth and reward creativity and athletic performance,” according to the official Paris 2024 website.

Kayak Cross has athletes compete against one another versus a time-clock. The Kayak Cross competitors will race over white water and through obstacles.

Removed from the Paris Olympics after making a historic Olympic debut during the Tokyo Games is Karate. Another that will not return is Baseball, a men’s only sport, as well as Softball, however both of these events are scheduled to return to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Events Least Viewed
Surprisingly Equestrian Dressage is not a highly watched event. However both equestrian eventing and show jumping do fair better.
Others not given as much credit are fencing, canoeing, kayaking, archery and shooting events. However, these are all events that we truly enjoy viewing!

Feral Hog Spread Invasive Plants
Hawaii faces significant ecological challenges due to feral hogs, which are not only disrupting native ecosystems but also promoting the spread of invasive plants. Research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows that areas with higher densities of feral pigs have increased nonnative plant growth, as the pigs’ rooting behavior disturbs the soil and favors fast-growing invasive species. This disruption is particularly problematic in Hawaii, whose ecosystems did not evolve with large ungulates like feral hogs. Consequently, the state’s fragile ecosystem struggles to recover, making it uniquely vulnerable compared to mainland states. Despite efforts, managing the feral hog population remains difficult due to their high reproductive rates.
Big-Game Mountain Lion Outfitter: Sentenced Prison Time and Fined
According to Outdoor Life, Wade Lemon, a Utah big-game outfitter, was sentenced to two months in prison and fined $10,500 for orchestrating illegal “canned” mountain lion hunts on public lands in 2020 and 2021. Lemon’s hunts involved mountain lions being treed and held in place until paying hunters arrived, violating the Lacey Act. His guide, Kacey Alan Yardley, received six months probation for his role in these hunts. This isn’t Lemon’s first legal issue; he has faced multiple accusations of illegal hunting practices, including a fraudulent scheme involving Donald Trump Jr. and a black bear in 2018. Lemon has been investigated numerous times for similar wildlife violations.
