Matter of opinion. Boxing will always be a sport on the fringe. I think Sport Climbing is great edition and that Skateboarding is overdue. I’m not a huge fan of Karate, but I think it deserves a place because it is unique from other martial arts. Surfing and Breaking have no place in the Olympics. The Baseball/Softball tournaments are too small.

Agreed about weightlifting, not about boxing. IWF seems to be trying to fight doping, AIBA is corruption itself.

  • 3 weeks later...

IWF was always a corrupt organization but at least they were better in updating their websites. we always had live score for major tournaments plus start list for continental championships etc. but now even after a day still no sign of European Champs results. and for example they put Fajr Cup tournament in Tehran (which happened a month ago) just few days ago !

 

quite an improvement specially this year where all these results matter for the Olympic qualification :facepalm:

 

while there is no official start list for the Asian Championship in China, there are news that king of doping Ilya Ilyin is back (this time to really participate) but at 96kg !!!!!! :yikes: he had two "no marks" already and this is his last chance in this window. if he doesn't show up or bombs out there will be no chance for him to qualify. this could be a hell of a competition in this weight in Asia with him, Tian Tao (assuming he will participate at home), Moradi and Rostami from Iran. but Moradi is still injured. (good news he doesn't need a surgery and will recover soon)  and the biggest jerk ever Rostami just pulled out of the team couple days ago claiming he is not happy with the support he is receiving !!! :wall: I'm not going to write all of his super stupid comments but this guy is simply unbelievable. for couple months he was more committed into training, knowing Moradi is injured and with a back surgery he will most probably miss the Olympics but now Moradi is back on his feet he started his stupid games again.

 

another important weightlifter for Iran is Saeid Alihosseini, (the only man in the world who can giggle Talakhadze at least) he was also injured in past few months but despite not "being ready" he is still going to this competition just to have a result and keep his chance alive. if he bombs out this will be the end of his career. :cry:

;) I knew that, European tournaments are usually much easier to follow. that was just an example of IWF's new speed in updating. in past we had each weight class result few minutes after the competition. :wall:

    • The problem is XD is a fun event, but its essentially a social event, and lags far behind the others both at Grand Slams and Olympics - no quotas of its own, very limited prize money - as the indivisual Olympic tennis has got more and more important, the top players have limited thhier doubles participation to the main M and W D.   a team format, however, gets some fo that BJK/Davis cup magic, and because it'll b enovel, they can REALLY mess around with it - for example, a three set match could consists of MS first set, WS second and, if needed mixed doubles decider - light work load and quick competition. could play three matches a day if needed   Would not be incredibly shocked if BOTH golf and tennis adopted a quickfire 'Olympic' format - Singles, singles, doubles - (In golf it would be 9 hole matchplay with sets replaced with 9 hole matches, and the order men's indi, women's indi, mixed foursome   On Compound, nice to see it but odd too for GB - Ella Gibson is one of the outstanding shooters of her time, but GBR don't seem to have a male compound shooter worth a candle   On voluntary team sports (Flag football, cricket, lacrosse) I smell a rankings heavy approach with continental rep limited to 3 - though they may be real sneaky with cricket and go host (USA), Euro 1(GBR), Oceania 1(Aus), Asia (1)(India) Africa 1(South Africa) and Final Qualifier 1, heavily loaded with Asia and West Indies individual teams, perhaps Ireland and New Zealand for the appearance of balance.   The Iroquois question still unresolved. GBR would be a rankings pick in everything bar men's flag football   Wonder about the Team gymnastics - Super quick fire high peril format maybe of just one gymnast per apparatus, with the floor and vault reserved to the women so each sex provide only 4 scores - would make it feel different to the existing team events, and make USA a less guaranteed gold. Qualifiation by highest score in overall Q in each event - even if that score comes from same athlete in multiple events
    • i'm too  emotionally drained to really write all the pr's right now so safe to say there were a number of them.good night,happy i don't have to have heart attacks till sunday.
    • Eammanoul sousa wins flight 2 with 67.51 a huge 3 meter personal best and extension of his national record.
    • https://worldboxing.org/ioc-confirms-gender-parity-in-boxing-at-la28-with-seven-weight-classes-for-both-men-and-women/       Well I didn't see this coming but eh world boxing have gotten rid of men's flyweight!!!!! Non Olympics weights are now 50kg, 75kg and 85kg for the men and 48kg, 80kg and 80+kg for the women. I think it is good news that they haven't added womens heavyweight but men's flyweight being gone is a shocker especially for "smaller" nations. In Rio like we had both 49 and 52kg below 56kg but now flyweight is gone completely. I mean it is tricky to have 10 weightclasses and then have only 7 for the Olympics and for both the 10 and the 7 to be evenly spaced out but like im very surprised that its flyweight thats gone and not one of 55,60,65kg. To be honest selfishly from an Irish perspective at least for this cycle I don't hate it but flyweight was one of the most competitive divisions so it being gone will hurt the weaker (well i couldn't make the small joke twice) boxing countries.   Just for context the Paris weights were (M51, M57, M63.5, M71, M80, M92 and M92+ and then W50, W54, W57, W60, W66, W75)
    • results are being posted now dimitris pavlidis of greece 63.55
    • That's why they only offered 750 points to the winner as an initial compromise. If you were the 4th/5th best player in your nation and were not selected due to NOC limits and you cared about points you would be better off competing at a different event at the same time. With a depleted field you'd likely earn more points there anyway.   It was more because ATP/WTA tournaments held at the same time were losing out on players and thus attendance for the tournaments were low.
