Our sports minister said things were very positive after a long talk with the IOC last week. weren't this games planned to be held in 2025? I read somewhere that IOC was planning to have an Olympics (senior or youth) every year, so the youth should be moved both to odd years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's a shocker in terms of world sports administration.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Wumo 2,791 Posted November 9, 2018 #57 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Quite interesting article. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1072030/bach-calls-on-nocs-to-work-with-governments-to-defend-european-sports-model-from-serious-threat-of-commercial-enterprises The so-called "European sports model" has been under pressure in decades. International sport and sport athletes are commercial products. We are far from Coubertin's vision/idea about sport being a competition between pure amateurs. IOC and NOC's have already adapted many free-market mechanisms in their organisations, and professional sport will probably become more and more commercially over the next decades.

Rather funny coming from the head of an organisation that makes it impossible to buy tickets for their events if you don't have the right brand of credit card, or that won't allow people drinking the wrong brand of soda.
