I Want to Approve Chase Tag as the Official Olympic Sports!!

Writer by Tommy Aso

It is Time to Make a Discussion of This Sport!

This time, I am going to introduce Chase Tag to present it to the IOC, describe the reason why I decided to find another sport and the rule of this sport, and teach the idea of the supermarket. I'd appreciate it if you read my blog, make a discussion of this sport, and consider this sport to present it to the IOC. 

I. The Reason Why I Decided to Find Another Sport.

In this paragraph, I am going to explain the reason why I decided to find another sport before I am going to introduce this sport. The reason why I decided to find another sport is a man's comment on GETTR. The Founder of GETTR, Jason Miller comments on GETTR "Skateboarding is not a sport." He also comments and complains on GETTR "The IOC is just trolling the world by throwing out such a stupid idea, right?"Is this the next great sport? It could be cornhole" The definition of sport is that all forms of physical activity contribute to physical fitness, mental well-being, and interaction including playing, recreation, organized, casual or competitive sport, and indigenous sports and games. Skateboarding is just making the most of skateboards and slopes to show off a player's technic. Basically, a player or his or her team fight against an opponent or an opponent team. I actually found another sport instead of skateboarding and cornhole to make sure if there is another sport instead of them.

II. What is Chase Tag? 

At first, I am going to introduce Chase Tag to consider it. Chase Tag is a sport that a runner escapes from a chaser for 20 seconds in a limited place. It is a team format that is played by two teams and each team has a maximum of five athletes. Each match is made up of a pre-determined number of chases (usually 16 chases). Each chase is twenty seconds long and has one athlete from each team. One is the Chaser and another one is Evader. The winning athlete in each stays on as the evader and the losing athlete comes off and is replaced by a teammate who becomes the Chaser in the next Chase. A team is awarded one point when their athlete successfully evades their opponent for the entire duration of the chase for 20 seconds mainly. The team with the most points after the pre-determined number of chases wins the match. There are so many obstacles in this sport, but you can utilize them by using parkour technic. If an athlete steps out of bounds, they lose that chase. The rule of this sport is simple. It is applied for individual matches for males and females and team matches for males and females and just running away from an opponent's chaser for 20 seconds. If you are caught by your chaser, you can not get a point. Indeed, you must tag a runner with your hand not your leg within 20 seconds. Chase Tag is a sport anyone can do because a chaser just chases a runner. So, why don't we consider it to approve it as the official Olympic sport?
