Perhaps they feel the IOC won't remove them

 

Ignoring internal politics from sport federations and only taking into account the number of nations which compete regularly weightlifting is quite widespread. Not athletics/basketball/football widespread, but well above many less inclusive sports so they think the IOC is bluffing. The IOC being relatively lenient over the years probably makes them more confident.

 

Even in the worst case scenario where the IOC does kick them out and they finally clean house the sport will be welcomed back by the next Olympics so there is little long term concern for the current management to push the edge.

 

If this was modern pentathlon behaving this way, they would have been kicked out long ago and possibly never return.

It took 1 year + 2 months to announce the ban formally.

China is barely partecipating - or being completely absent- in many international summer sports anymore in the last months, is it all due to covid? Not really believable :mumble:

Yeah, their Winter program got basically cancelled immediately after Beijing...

It's covid, China is just being responsible that's why they don't have 100k cases a day. They don't plan to live with covid unlike most countries.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
