Not to mention the fact that World Champions or the equivalent (champions trophy) have come from every continent, not something Baseball could ever dream of - The Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania all have produced global winners. The problem with saying "It's only British colonies" is that former British colonies span 5 continents, contain a quarter of all the NOCs in existence and over a quarter of the entire global population. Unless you're soccer, if your sport is 'only' doing well throughout the British colonies, it's doing damn well!

Actually many sports were spread by British expats especially football. Prominent clubs like AC Milan, Genoa,Newell's Old Boys, FC Barcelona, Mohun Bagan were founded by British expats. Interestingly, many of the founding clubs were football and cricket clubs but somehow football gained popularity but cricket didn't.
Cricket remained popular only in the former colonies, but now is hugely popular in the Indian subcontinent. The cricket teams in the lesser countries like USA, Canada, Italy, UAE are almost made up of South Asian expats or origin

The codification and export of sports is one of the few positive legacies of Empire. The rest was utterly crap, but the sports they've left are quite a lot of fun.

For Squash, would like a 32 athlete singles tournament per gender with 2 per NOC if both in top 16 otherwise 1 per NOC

For Cricket would like to have an 8 team tournament with champions of Americas, Asia, Africa + Europe, East Asia Pacific (The smallest continental zone in ICC https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/east-asia-pacific), 1 team from Ranking/Host Nation, 2 from a qualification tournament.

Squash = 32 women, 32 men tournaments = 64 quota places

 

Cricket = 6 teams / tournament = total 12 teams, 15 players each team = 180 quota places

 

Flag Football = 6 teams / tournament = total 12 teams, 11 players each team = 132 quota places

 

Lacrosse Sixies = 6 teams / tournament = total 12 teams, 11 players each team = 132 quota places

 

Softball = 6-team tournament, 15 players each team = 90 quota places

 

Baseball = 8-team tournament, 24 players each team = 192 quota places

 

Total = 790 quota places (which is about the number announced earlier this morning by the IOC)

The real crime is that all of these sports get included, but tug of war is still not on the table.

 

Bring back tug of war, you fools!

You laugh, but wouldn't it be fabulous. Obviously nike would design a supershoe and a superglove...

the inclusion of the 5 proposed sports became official now, just curious to know who are the 2 members voted against :d

Tidjane Thiam (CIV) & William Blick (UGA)  Apparently, they were worried these team sports are not established enough in Africa... Go and figure :p

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health. 
    • Marian Kasprzyk (boxing) - 1964 Olympic Champion & 1960 bronze medallist passed away at the age of 86.
    • It was removed the next day.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off
