Every Olympiad, the list of sports and the list of medal events under that sport could come into question. If the particular event or even the sport is not deemed popular enough, it could be vulnerable and removed from subsequent Olympics. In the same regard, other new events are added each time around. And below that, there are occasionally major rules revisions that completely change the nature of an event. It is always an evolving process.
