I would not be thrilled with that, no :p

 

I mean, in terms of atmosphere, there is absolutely not going to be any better place in the world for speed skating - from national championships to Olympics - than Thialf. Hamar once rivalled it, but not anymore. That being said: I'd be sad to have Olympics in one country, and one sport pretty far away in another country.

 

Last week a Dutch former speed skater (Olympic champion Mark Tuitert) was talking about it during the World Cup broadcast, and he said he'd have been sad to have that in his career: according to him, a majority of athletes of course wants to go to the Olympics, but with part of that being immersed in the entire Olympic feeling, from a nation's culture to so many athletes from different sports being in the same area, which normally just doesn't happen. Olympics in France or Switzerland or so, with speed skating in Thialf, would mean the speed skating is basically just another championship instead of something special like the Olympics.

Fair enough, was expecting this kind of answer from you :teacher:

First French championships in a lifetime are around the corner ... in Inzell of course. Can it change anything ?

Inzell was legendary until they put a roof on it :( 

 

2005 world championships were some of the most amazing ever, super surprising gold medals for the likes of Even Wetten and Rune Stordal. Now it's just a regular track like almost all others, including the total lack of atmosphere :p

But, yeah. France confirmed as the sole interested party going into the next phase for 2030, same for Salt Lake for 2034. Switzerland's project was invited for talks with eyes on 2038.

 

Sweden is basically ignored, other than saying "thank you, your project would have been the most sustainable ever, but your people don't want it" :p

Feel bad for Sweden.  3 countries just got validated and Sweden left out in the proverbial (and literal) cold yet again.

Not hosting in Stockholm in 2030 feels like a real missed opportunity.

 

The French bid winning 2030 feels very weird. I'm sure they will be perfectly good games. Switzerland being targeted for 2038 this far out also feels a bit weird.

 

I really hate how little transparancy this process has.

France and USA having 2 Olympics in 6 years has a sour taste in my mouth. :dunno: Especially when there are other options available. Like why don't France host the 38 or 42 ones.

Also just pure coincidence that USA are being pushed for 2034, when we all know the NBC contract end with 2032. :rolleyes: IOC salivating on the negotiations for the new rights already.

Sounds like financial guarantees were an issue.  And yes, not a fan of how 1 day the IOC just decides that they have a location in mind for the 2038 games.

      Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2026

      Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever.

      Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.

      Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.

      Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.

      Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.

      Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.

      Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows.

      I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.

      if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup

      Strong teams advance from the groups, especially since there are now 48 teams playing at the World Cup, not 32. It's Italy's fault that they lost 0-3 and 1-4 to Norway.
