It feels like events, der boy, events have overtaken the election on stuff like the transgender inclusion and DSD athlete issues. Even Kirsty Coventry is not holding the Bach-Adams line any more, which would have been astonishing eighteen months ago, but seems entirely predictable now - with Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing etc having now gone in a clear direction, and with the next Summer Games destined for Trumpland, that seems almost certainly not the hill anyone in the IOC will die on. I imagine the reintegration of Russia is likely to be more pressing issue - Trump will want them there, the War, one way or tother looks like it may wind down soon, but its doubtful a trustworthy anti-doping regime will really be in place in time. The candidate with the most clarity on these issues is pretty obviously Coe. I'm not entirely certain clarity will be a benefit, and we simply don't know how much of Bach's seething hatred of Coe has been channelled into the election backstge -- is Bach now so much yeserdays man that his patrimony no longer tilts the IOC? Or does he retain loyalty through influence, or influence through loyalty?

The men's Olympic teams will reveal their first 6 players in June and announce the rest of the roster at the end of December

Came here to post the same thing

It is time for the most insane athletics event of the year, the conch has been blown and by now the cigarette has been lit, it's Barkleys time

For now it is like this for me.

Easy enough to organise when the winners are picked by committee.

Which is actually a moot point, since Gina del Rio will probably be Andorra's only athlete anyway. Even if Carola Vila Obiols somehow comes back, which seems unlikely, they'll still easily have two total quotas, that simply can't go wrong anymore (there is a 0% chance of them dropping out of the top-30)

I think Edinburgh will be the Place for the Grand Depart in 2027, I guess

And, you know, athletes need to plan their programs....it's so ridiculous for this to still not be clear barely three years before the Olympics. Athletes should at the very least be going into Olympics already knowing what the program will be for the next.

Second post is updated as all competing songs are released. Who is your favourite?

So like when the fuck is the IOC announcing the event program for LA? Has to be soon given they want federations to start drafting their qualification systems in April.
