Beyblade X for 2032 Olympics?
I can't believe this is a thing...
But I all for it! Voted!

This would be the lamest thing ever if you realize how many aspects of Beyblade hinder it from being a proper sport.

What hinderings are you referring to?
this is possible, albeit really hard

Along with IOC's guidelines making something like Beyblade ineligible to fit into a discipline or be an event within itself, many factors of Beyblade make it seem more like a toy than something that could be a sport when you actually compare it to other sports(something I seriously doubt anyone on board with this idea has done). For example: parts. Some parts straight up suck, while others are so good that the end-all be-all of making combos is whether or not it can beat other combos using said parts. Imagine if in boxing, using the right or wrong pair of gloves makes you either the best boxer in the world or the worst in the world. There is skill in Beyblade, yes, but it would be a lie to say that combos don't contribute 95% of your chances of winning a battle.
but can you imagine, it actually seems stupidly funny if this get's accepted, lmoa

if only it was legal to use 3d printed beys, as long as they're not too op, that would make it more like the anime, in which it functioned very well as a sport.

even if it is op every bey has a weakness no mater how op like its too heavy sure would be tough the beyblade would be top heavy and destabilize quickly

Me showing up with my 150g flywheel for a beyblade, perfectly circular, on a hyper greased rubber bearing tip.
Without specific and intentional restrictions custom beys would just be heavy circles that spin forever. Thats just the most powerful thing you can do in beyblade. Be unKOable and spin forever

Except for a bey with blunt hammer-shaped contact points and a motor inside of it, that is pure metal
