It seems to work...

Totally offtopic, but it's a shame how reliant professional sports are on gambling profits and advertisements. I get that it works, we have the same national lottery funding in the Netherlands. The adverse effect however is that policy to combat gambling addiction (good idea!) leads to less funding for sports (bad idea!). That's not to even mention the unavoidable avalanche of gambling ads and sponsorships in all of professional sports.

Did the Netherlands follow the British system in sports financing? I mean using sports lottery funds + creating the NL Team (like UK Team).

Generally, I have the impression that in such turbo-liberal economic governments as under Tacher, sport is having difficult times, especially the Olympic sport, which requires public subsidies. Football will always survive on private sponsorship.

Although it was very useful for the government to threaten football in the 80s due to the terrible emergence of violence at football matches

Chociaż grożenie piłce nożnej w latach 80. było bardzo przydatne dla rządu z powodu straszliwego pojawienia się przemocy na meczach piłki nożnej

Exactly. Now, when I look at Premier League matches, people go there more like going to the cinema. It used to be unthinkable and it was scary to go to such a stadium. Now the Premier League is a product like the NBA in basketball, except that Arab capital has been allowed.

In fact one of the reasons that Thatcher lost popularity was her idea that people had to register to become "fans of football" and not to be seen as hooligans.

James Preston :NZL breaks the 62yr old 800m national record that was held by the great Sir Peter Snell's 1:44.30. His time of 1:44.04 is also well below the Olympic standard of 1:44.70.

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
    • If you have time would love to see a sport by sport overview of the changes/new sports
    • Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.
    • How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
    • claimed their 3rd European title after beating 34-27  First title since 2012  got the bronze after beating   34-33   is the best team in the world by far 👏👏👏
