Olympic cycling categorization

[edit]

Regarding BMX racing and other cycling events: only 3 types of cycling are currently in the Olympics: BMX racing, Track cycling and Road bicycle racing. Category:Cycle racing contains mostly sports that are not in the Olympics. We could create a new category for current or former Olympic cycling sports, which would work fine. Otherwise, each of the 3 current cycling sports has to go in Category:Summer Olympic sports. Or Category:Sports at the Summer Olympics? But at the moment there exists no category of all cycling events at the that are/were at the Olympics.

Note that BMX includes racing, Freestyle BMX and Dirt jumping so you have to categorize the BMX sub-discipline, not all BMX. Only one of the three is a form of racing; the other two are sports but not racing. And only racing was in the Olympics. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Equestrian

[edit]

Same problem with Equestrian, we have dozens upon dozens of equestrian sports, only three of which are Olympic disciplines and need to be listed as such in their respective articles. To do otherwise would be about as ridiculous as the cycling example above. There's got to be a better way to make the Olympic sports category non-diffusing than to put in ridiculous and non-intuitive categorization. Montanabw(talk) 23:01, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
