World Aquatics is pushing (again) to enter the 50m strokes to the program

 

I wonder what other events other federations are currently lobbying for :question:

I wish there was more transparancy around this.

 

I don't believe we ever even found out what all the disciplines that applied for 2028 were.

Yes, that would be great... I don't really understand the need for secrecy neither.

IIRC, 17 'disciplines' (in IOC jargon) were proposed for LA, but i was never revealed which ones.

You see... Every federation will push for more additional events. Everyone of them based on various arguments. Thats why i am in favor of a strict number of core sports-events.

IOC reduces events in some sports but allows various sports to enter olympic program according to host desire . Then these federations will claim their sport's success and they are gonna ask to stay as core sports..Then IOC must find further events to cut in order to keep a level of number of total athletes, but at the same time fedrations keep asking for increase in events. And Olympics are expanding constantly and becoming more costly and maybe in future no country will wish to host them. Its a cycle without an end ..

I think that exactly what Bach had in minds when he came up with idea of additional sports for Tokyo :teacher:

 

At least, Rogge managed to keep in check the sports program.

Athletics probably tried with Cross Country; Handball for sure proposed Beach Handball, Gymnastics probably tried with Tumbling and Acrobatic, Swimming with High Diving and Archery with Compound

France did replace Karate with Breakdance!

 

that's unforgivable...it's worse than any Lacrosse/Flag Football/Rugby Legue IX might appear in the next future on the Olympic stage...it's "THE" Capital mistake :bones:

    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Track, there won't be much use in the team. Here, great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
    • December is probably going to be focused on either Italy/Austria or Norway, but the plans are still being made as we speak. Renting a car, driving from the Netherlands down to Italy, finding accomodations and help with preparing the skis and all that...trying to make it as an independent 'solo' athlete is...hard     I can't go and help out, because we got the keys to our house (finally) and there's lots of work to be done there, so it's all happening at the same time and the mind is getting crazy (for both of us)
