I'm surprised NBC hasn't requested Americas Got Talent as an Olympic sport.

Queen & King of the Court is expected to become a demonstration sport at LA 2028, with the potential of getting added to the Brisbane 2032 programme. Even as a beach volleyball fan, I don’t love the idea of it being at the Olympics.

Entire article is in German, so you might need to use Google Translate it :p

I love how they come up with a name for some event which says literally zero about what kind of event it is. If you hadn't specifically said you're a beach volleyball fan, I would not even have guessed the sport correctly :p

Chess at the Olympics would be awesome and I will not accept anyone saying otherwise :<

Maybe if they created an Olympics specifically for sports like these. (won’t be watching a single second of it however :p)

 

Otherwise, yeah nope… Ugh. 

 

Personally speaking (and I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this), I believe that any sports that get added to the Olympic programme need to have an aspect of physical ability. Chess (which is a mind sport) doesn’t fit in that category.

Chess being added and taking away even a single spot from any physical sport would make me so much madder than even breaking being added :p

I have long, long wanted a mind sport Olympics.

I don't think this is any different to the "Beach Handball" tournament the Handball Federation is hosting on their own dureing the Paris 2024 Olympics.

They sell theirs as a showcase to get the sport to the olympics games, but it has no "official recognition".

 

I think this would be the same. A publicity stunt.

Personally, I find the idea of a chess tournament at the Olympics compelling. I think there's a lot that could be done to make it a great addition to the program. However, I think I've posted about it on the forum before.

Dunno, if they dropped breaking to let in chess, i'd live with it...

I would not, and that says quite something about my opinion on chess being Olympic :p

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.

      Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname
