I'd say one they are getting rid of in 2020 and that's wrestling. That needs to be kept.
Honestly I don't see the point of soccer, golf and tennis, there is so much of that and they have established tournaments. I say that as someone who likes both sports.

Tug-of-War was in back in the days, wouldn't mind seeing that again.

Wrestling was out as an Olympic sport for seven months in 2013 -- but now it is back in for 2020.
...
Personally, I'd be interested in seeing various billiards disciplines in the Olympics -- here's a sample itinerary:
Pocket Billiards
Straight Pool (14.1 Continuous, 500 pts)
9-Ball
One Pocket
Snooker
Trick shooting (non-medaling exhibition)
Carom Billiards
Straight Billiards (aka Straight-rail)
One-Cushion
Three Cushion
47.2 Balkline and/or 71.2 Balkline
Artistic billiards (non-medaling exhibition)

I'd like to see baseball and softball come back. I know those sports are non-entities in Europe and Africa and there's no way the top pro leagues would accommodate the Olympics, but there's enough high-level talent around the world for a competitive tournament in baseball.
Im curious if some form of parkour/freerunning could exist in an Olympic format. I'd watch that for sure.

Yep, announced a couple weeks ago. Missed that. Sorry.
According to the article linked, the top pro leagues in Japan and South Korea will go on hiatus during the Olympics so their best pros can play in Tokyo.
MLB won't alter their schedule for the Olympics, but will let minor leaguers participate. Unclear whether "minor leaguer" means not on the 25-man or not on the 40-man roster.
This has potential. My son and his friends love this stuff and it would bring young eyeballs to the scene.

Well ... balkline might not be the greatest TV draw, but at least there'd be a chance for older folks to medal

I've never watched it so I don't know. I know it's played in a lot of other countries though. I dunno. Just thinking out loud.
