Some info about the 2030 long track issue. One (new) option could be to use a temporary track in an already existing hall somewhere (anywhere really) and then reuse it as a training facility up into the mountains with limited costs for the french speed track program (which is currently being reinstalled by the roller sports federation).

IMO, this would be the best case scenario as a permanent long track rink sounds very much like a dead option (who would want on its territory a huge infrastructure guaranteed to run at a multi-millions loss every year ?)

 

 

Once again, the IOC will do *literally anything* to not host long track outdoors.

There are no track in the country (outdoor or indoor). The one from Albertville was converted into an athletic one right after the Olympics.

Stoss also hinted that both sides are already looking beyond the likely awarding of the Games in July, suggesting that discussions about new sports have already begun.

“Immediately after the election we will come together to finalize the Olympic Program and it will be time in 2025 or 2026 to talk about new sports,” Stoss said.

“We have some ideas, we discussed it already,” he said about the organizing committee’s option to propose additional, locally relevant sports to the Winter Olympic program.

France is hosting an Olympics this year, I would rather they not get another one so soon… 

 

Same thing applies for Salt Lake City, although for me it’s even worse because that’ll mean it’ll be back to back Olympics in United States.

I know it's a discipline but I wouldn't be shocked if free riding got added.

 

Other than ski mountaineering I'm not sure what sports (that aren't under the FIS umbrella, like speed skiing) are "locally relevant".

 

Ice climbing, maybe?

Telemark skiing is an FIS discipline. But I wouldn’t mind seeing it get added to the Olympic programme.

Hockey would be held in a soccer stadium (split into two ice rinks). IIHF has expressed concerns on the temporary nature of the venue

Curling venue is too small according to the WCF

Short track and figure skating venue is new, but the IOC has asked for a Plan B

Speed skating venue TBD BUT WILL BE OUTSIDE FRANCE.

 

What a sh*t show.

For the love of god don't let this be in Thialf. I mean, it's definitely the Mecca of speed skating, no doubt about it, but it'd be such a waste to have the Olympic events there, far far away from the Olympics.

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
