Shooting (rifle and pistol) is still the worst traditional Olympic discipline. Even when I watched us winning a gold medal yesterday I couldn't get excited because it's literally just watching numbers appear on a screen. I know that it can be improved with some graphics, but it would still just be a TV graphic, because irl it's an incredibly boring precision game. Skeet and trap are at least visually pleasing and appear more "physical". Even darts seem more of an actual physical sport than air rifle and air pistol. 

 

I don't know, I just don't get how this sport has 15 Olympic events. Way too much for a sport that's both visually unappealing and has low attendance even at the Summer Games. I would strip it down to 1-1 male and female rifle and pistol events and keep the 5 shotgun events. So basically drop the 6 air pistol/rifle events, down to 9 Olympic events instead of the current 15. Anything would be better than this, even E-sports. 

 

Shooting is one of those sports that's lucky it got in during the early days of the Olympics. It definitely would not be added as a new sport today.

 

In discussions about esports being in the Olympics I've used shooting as an example of a sport that's less physical being in the Olympics. In fact, esports and shooting have a lot of common, they are both precision sports that focus on twitch muscles. Funny enough, there is always someone that tries and argue the physicality of shooting and throws in "but tradition" for good measure.

    • Nastiest first career NHL goal, damn Celebrini     
    • 0-0 in Tashkent is not a bad result considering Iran played the entire second half with 10 men  but Iran got robbed of a penalty in 94th minute. it was clear handball to me, the ref called it but then the VAR room made him change his originally (correct) decision     for some reasons we have to play our next home match against Qatar in neutral venue (UAE) on Tuesday.  a win there will put Iran in a very good position to qualify. I'm still confident they can get the 3pts against the so-called Asian Champion.   and looking at other results, S-Korea scored a big win in Jordan (they got eliminated by the same team at the Asian Cup) and Japan also beat KSA in KSA. I think JPN/KOR are safe to qualify as usual. it's between Australia and KSA in Group C and Iraq/Jordan in Group B

    • Our best and most creative player (Fortounis) moved to Saudi Arabia this year and is turning 32 in a few days so he is probably done with the national team. I know Jovanovic was talking to him last month about him coming back but it didn't happen I guess. We can blame our previous manager Poyet for that, he kicked off our best player and probably sleeps very well at night knowing our federation paid him a nice salary of 700.000 euro per year when all he did was offer us false hope and cause significant damage to our team, but what does he care, he is not Greek and we paid him a lot of money for doing a poor job so he is probably laughing at us.   Anyways we seem to be building a good team with depth now.   GK we have Vlachodimos who is better than most European national team keepers, though I wish he stayed at Benfica because he doesn't play at Newcastle this season. He's 30 which isn't old for a keeper but we have two very good young players, Mandas and Tzolakis who are both already getting very good experience and only 21-22 years old.   Our defense has always been very strong and still is, and we keep producing good young defenders so I don't think we will have to worry for many years.   Offensive players were always our issue especially in the last 10 years, but we have so much quality now even without Fortounis. Pavlidis who scored 2 goals today, Tzolis, Konstantelias, Douvikas, Ioannidis, and now we have a 17 yo Mouzakitis from Olympiacos who is a big talent and already playing in important games for club.
