And more important, World Rugby is just like FIFA, they want their World Cup to be the main event. Commercially it's the 2nd most succesful world championship event after the football one.

That is surprising to read

At least that's what World Rugby claims  though I suspect Cricket World Cup may have a say in that.

naaaa...that's true because the Cricket Board makes everything to keep the game within the very few Countries where it's a big thing...

 

they always find the way to keep the rest of the world with dark screens even for their flagship events...

 

the Rugby Board, instead, makes all the efforts to keep the game within the usual suspects on the field, but they always find the way to promote their events and let all the world watch them...

 

from a certain point of view, the rugby guys are a lot smarter than the Cricket ones...

I tried to keep this realistic as possible (considering the IOC loves gender equality and Urban). In an ideal world id cut breakdancing, skateboarding and surfing but we know that won't happen.

Oh… schön here we go again!

I am internally torn between two oppositions.

On the one hand I just want to reduce the number of events per/or discipline to create a dense and compact schedule. Where everyone event is unique and all the very best athletes of the sport are competing against each other in the same event. This will made also easier to follow to the fans and watch.

On the other hand I want more sports and more events to have more Olympics.

On some days I just want to reduce the swimming schedule to just like 10 events. On others I’m fine with actual plan, even though I get headache after watching 100+ swim races and trying somehow memorized who won medals, was in the final.  

I not sure how to solve this conflict.

 

But a few things I like to change at the Olympics are:

 

1)      Ultra controversial here: get rid of the medal table! Just do not sum medals from different sports, which are incomparable for sake of some nationalistic pride. 23 swimmers could win shit tone of medals for the table, while 23 footballer just one. Also if a country just focuses on maximising their medal output, could just invest in few sports, which are giving a lot of medals/discipline/athletes. Also state base doping system are resulting from the ambitions of being top on the medal table.

Also the medal table is just reducing all the athletes, all their live and all the way to the Games and all the competition to just some number in the table. I hear a lot something like “How many medals we (<- our country) won? And why so little?” They don’t ask who get the medal, in which sport, how was the competition, what is their story, was it disappointment, was it lucky shot, was it fair. No they want to hear the single number. They don’t care about sport, about competition, about athletes.

Also if we get rid of the medal table, we will have less discussion about this discipline needs more event, these have too much etc. Because the importance of the sport will less dependent on the number of medals you could get.

 

2)      I like and I want a constancy of the Olympic programme. It doesn’t mean we could add or get rid of new sports or add new events etc. But I don’t like completely changing all the programme at every game, constantly adding something or just adding new sport for one games!

 

3)      Less controversial things: Mixed events only if they are not redundant and adding something new to the games. Having mixed 4x400m (or swimming 4x100m free) additional to the men’s and women’s one make no sense. Adding something like mixed 4x800m or mixed team in some sport like triathlon is perfectly fine for me.

 

4)      I think all this quota reducing is ridiculous. IOC we reduced quota to reduce the cost! Hey now we can add new sports with new venues to increase costs again! Absolutely genius. Furthermore, quotas are incomparable. We could have additional 50-100 cyclist for the road race, who only are only competing for the one day (professional cyclist are also used to sleep at different hotels evert night), they are not the same quota like some team sport with two-week tournament. Also how does the number of surfers on Tahiti interfere with number of athletes in Paris?

 

Ok, I’m done.

For now.

[hckošice 15,101]

the devil in me (do not listen to him) -

 

All team sports directo pronto with all their balls and bats,

followed by all new urban super additions a la Surfing, Breaking etc.. and to close it Boxing, Fencing and swimming (+ diving, synchro and marathon zzzwimming obviously included in the pack) should make the count, if it is still not enough then I can say farewell also to Sailing and extreme kayak

 

the good lord in me -

 

That was a terrible suggestion mon ami , we need to add more events and quotas, not reducing them. I want more sports with more olympic days. A 3 weeks olympics with 50 sports and cca 400 events would be awesome, + such numbers increase by default the mathematical chance for Slovakia to enter the medal table

Now that I read while facing hangover, what I wrote here last night, I can declare with a full conscience that a lot of alcohol causes a lot of stupidity.

 

Note to my sick me this morning: Never a good idea to post anything while half drunk
