No sport climbing, skateboarding and surfing are now considered to be core sports

My only problem with sports climbing is there's not enough 'splitting' of the events - it absolutely belongs.

 

I find the park skateboarding fun as a kind of BMX Freestyle on foot

 

i do not see the point in 'artistic' surfing as a 'sport; for the life of me - I'm sure it's amazing to do - so's bunjee jumping but it ain't sport. Yet.

There are very few Olympic arguments that boil my blood as much as “x isn’t a sport.” Mainly because I don’t actually think the Olympics should be solely about sport, but also because it’s insulting to athletes/competitors who work very hard to be the best at what they do. Personally, I believe there should be room for mind sports, artistic competition, and maybe even e-sports. 
 

The Olympics, in ancient times, were meant to be a celebration of humanity. There were sporting and artistic competitions. It was also a time to exchange social/political ideas. People gathered to celebrate many aspects of Hellenic life. I think the modern ideal of the Olympics as a purely sporting competition meant for only the “best of the best” loses sight of what the Games are supposed to be about. The Olympics should be world championships, Cannes/TIFF/Sundance, Glastonbury/Coachella, The World’s Fair, International peace summit, etc. mixed into one.

 

It’s a pipe dream of mine, but I do think the focus on elite sport has detracted from some of the more charming/eloquent aspects of the Olympics. 
 

Cricket, modern pentathlon, breaking, etc. all add something to the event even if you don’t personally enjoy them. The Olympics are fun because of the diversity of sports offered. I don’t think we should lose sight of that during all our deliberations in this thread. 

The Olympics also used to be all men in the nude, and religious. Shit changes. today, it's specifically a sports event, and about sport, and the value of sport.

 

Would there be something to be said for similar Games involving art, dance, music? absolutely - and recall, the Olympics was only one of four ancient Hellenic Games (and I don't even think that includes the women's Herean Games) - why not 'resurrect' another ancient Hellenic Games specifically for the arts?

Oh boy. Judging by the amount of times I've seen 'cricket' while scrolling through the past pages, I have a feeling.... :p 

Well, if cricket isn't in 2028 some very important newspapers are going to look very, very stupid

Be great. Imagine following the qualifications in the Flute!

 

Men's solo

Women's solo

Men's solo picollo

Women's solo picollo

Men's pair

Men's uneven pair (big flute and a picollo)....

Women's pair

Women's uneven pair

Mixed trio...

 

And then the violins...

 

All the dance sport addicts could go there, along with the Rhythmic gymnasts and the artistic swimming

 

I might rock u for Ireland in the Sprint Pottery

 

And finally, the Eurovision song contest, but global...

 

"and now, the votes of the Nepalese jury...

 

Djibouti, 1 point. Djiboutie une point, "

 

It will be magic.

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
