Anyone lobbying for e-sports to be included in the Olympics should be ashamed of themselves..

 

Also, if you think, that standing straight for 40 minutes and keeping your body in perfect concentration and precision without flinching is less physical, then sitting on a chair and chopping the keyborad...

I agree. Shooting could be boring to some viewers because its static, but anyone who thinks that more active breakdancing or playing CS on screen deserve are more interesting, should think twice. Sports cant be changed because they arent on par with Tik Tok generation. 

I still remember 25 m Rapid Fire from 2012 games, but i cant remember anything from surfing in 2020 Games.

"Urban" sports still provide good events like Worthington making history at Tokyo. There are some convincing reasons not to include esports but I haven't heard any decent reason that it shouldn't count as a "real" sport

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

:IRL secure a medal in taekwondo, of course with Woolley, that is the favourite for the gold

 

@OlympicIRL

FWIW I wouldn't have had Jack as favourite. IN the world rankings for example he was behind :FRA and :ESP here. Those three are closely matched though

 

:ESP has won 2 of their last 3 bouts but Jack did beat him at the 2022 Euro champs (SF)

    • Mol/Sørum v.  Åhman/Hellvig in semifinal action starts now, really excited for this match 
    • (RUS) Daria Kasatkina defeats 17 year old youngster  (RUS) Mirra Andreeva 6-0, 4-6, 6-4 for the Ningbo Open title!    Dasha sure does love her 500’s, she’s made 11 finals and has now won her 4th title!    As always, Mirra was a bit of a mess emotionally. Racket smash in the first set, and a whole lot of frustration and crying. She’s still very young though, I’m sure she’ll learn how to control her emotions as she plays more matches on tour. 
    • has voted and I have been told  has also voted, so those can be crossed off.
    • Epic own goal for Sparta in the Dutch 1st division (or 2nd, whatever you call it, the one underneath the top flight ). At 1:00 in the video.    
    • Happened to the rock guitarist Wilko Johnson.  He was also given a short time to live but survived for nine years.
    • Unheralded Suzan Lamens won Osaka 250 title as a qualifier. These Asian 250s are really the easiest way to make a run at a maiden WTA title for all these lower ranked players!
    • Dove into my results archive again...   I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023).   Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards  - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 20.10m   Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell  - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones  - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson  - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana  - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio  - 2:01.977   Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip  - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette  - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera  - 10.772 (66.839 km/h)   Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess  was the winner.     I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below. 
    • Canoe Polo World Championships are coming to the end. If i'm not mistaken this countries should get quotas:   Men   Women ()  Last spot should be decided between  and  in match for 7th place.   https://www.kayak-polo.info/app/#/chart Qualification system: https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/2025_cap_worldsgames-qs_061123.pdf
