I see now that there are apparently three categories of kickboxing....pointfighting, full contact and.....light contact :d 

 

Light contact kickboxing, is that where you can carefully touch someone and say "Hit you!"? :p 

 

Honestly every form of kickboxing that's not simply full contact sounds slightly silly without ever having seen it, but who knows.

Looking at it in more detail.....not much.  We don't get prelims of archery (never ever have, even at London 2012), shooting prelims or the fencing round robin of Modern Pentathlon.  I guess for sports like table tennis, badminton etc there is just one main show court, not every single concurrent match like at the Olympics.  Ditto for the beach sports.  Otherwise, pretty much the lot.

Yeah that's fine, all those prelims rounds for me mostly consist of checking the results anyway :p

well not really :p

 

So, what is light contact kickboxing?

Light contact kickboxing has all the same moves and rules to Full contact kickboxing but can be fought in either a boxing ring or on mats. The rounds are usually either 1.5 or 2 minutes and the contact is controlled in a lighter manner. The best way to describe it is its sort of like a competitive sparring bout. As fighters can feel very nervous in the ring, their punches may naturally be harder than what’s allowed and this is for the referee to intervene and control the contact.

There is no win by knockout and the winner is decided by the referee to who performed the best. If a knockout does happen, the fighter who threw the heavy blow is disqualified.

Here’s a bump for this if we haven’t already had it.  The three athletics divisions.  Remember, there are team (as usual) & individual medals. The individual medals are taken across all three competitions, so I can see :IRL or Gega :ALB picking up medals from Div III.

Not entirely sure the Team medals will be counted in the EG medal table. The official site list 37 events (which is the exact amount of athletics disciplines) I guess, the team medals will be awarded as usual, but not counted in the final tally

Ah OK & promotion/relegation will work as usual.

I don´t know why, but I still have that feeling this will not work and it will be just geoblocked in Europe. I do not really see why they would let streams available in countries they sold broadcasting rights. that just doesn´t happen.

 

but let see and pray, however I am quite sceptical and rather do not want to celebrate too early (even if it is clear, that it may be the only option for me to watch the Games :pope:)

I’m not so pessimistic - as far as I can see in :GBR BBC are not showing anything on mainstream TV - 100% Tennis, Glastonbury etc - just online streaming only. When that happens, they don’t normally enforce the geo-block.

Sure, there is hope, as very VERY little is televised. As I checked through various european TV schedules practicallyit is the same everywhere in Europe, Very small amount of transmissions. basically 3 to 5 broadcasts of entire games everywhere.

 

Maybe we have a hope :p

let's say that Light Contact Kickboxing is the least interesting of all the combat sports (it doesn't even have the characteristics that make Olympic Karate somehow exciting despite the lack of true hard hits)...

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
