Fun fact: Brazil won a silver medal at the 2014 Eisstock World Championships, and has been campaigning for the sport to join the Winter Olympics ever since. The Brazilian Volleyball Confederation also admitted snow volleyball as a discipline, and a Brazilian team won a medal at the 2018 World Cup circuit.

Ah yeah, a sport I literally only ever heard of because I somehow happened to see Brazil won a silver in it Nothing against the players and anyone who thinks I have something against Brazilian wintersports really missed something, but I hope ice stock sport won't become Olympic Edited December 17, 2019 by heywoodu .

However, if they can add ski jumping (the most absurd sport in the world, in my opinion, even more so than things like kinball or canoe polo), they can add anything, really.

SalamAkhi 316 Posted December 17, 2019 #285 Share Posted December 17, 2019 il y a une heure, Olympian1010 a dit : Not that uncommon I’m beginning to find out. It seems like quite a few countries have just gone with umbrella snow sport and ice sport federations. It’s mostly the traditional countries that have separate federations. France had basically two winter sport federations until 2006 when Ice Hockey separated from the Ice cartel. Now there are 3 federations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,973 Posted December 18, 2019 Author #287 Share Posted December 18, 2019 got a freestyle skiing quota taken away, not rejected, put back on the reallocation list, so no idea what happened or how that’s legal. That’s honestly a first for me right there. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
