Women's Chess FIDE World Championship 2025

The other two I’m whatever on, but this is incredibly stupid.

No. I’m unhappy they removed a race walk event (even though it def could have used some workshopping).   I’m guessing it’s going to be a very limited field, given this is taking away quotas from recurve. Very strange decision from the IOC, but from World Archery’s point of view it was likely the priority to get compound into the games in any form, even if it’s some weird eight team mixed event format.   I do prefer this to cuts that make the recurve event significantly worse. Though I do think the IOC should have just taken a pass on recurve if they weren’t willing to increase the athlete quota.

I think you mean    Well, having three events now in sport climbing is good, 12 teams in 3x3, and the quota only applying to core sports otherwise…  (mixed 4x100m relay, men’s/women’s doubles table tennis, and the 7/7 men/women boxing weights are fine I guess, I’m not a big fan of mixed events but I’m okay with it somewhat)   A compound mixed team event but no individual compound events? 50m strokes? Michael Andrew is probably pissing his pants with happiness right now. 12 women’s teams in waterpolo? Is there even enough teams to make it competitive? Mixed artistic gymnastics team event? Mixed team event in table tennis? 

First leg QF completed:     Arsenal  3 - 0 Real Madrid   Bayern München 1 - 2 FC Inter   Paris Saint-Germain 3 - 1 Aston Villa   Barcelona 4 - 0 Borussia Dortmund  

Elaborate on that?   Gutierrez carried hard today, this one was also basically on him.
