I think that "pairs"can be a new category. All mixed teams are "pairs", couple of skating, mixed curling, some sailing classes. Not all pairs are mixed, of course. But a pair is not a team, and is not an individual.

I have added the best Doubles/Pair category. Some contenders include:

 

:AUS Matthew Ebden/Max Purcell (Tennis)

:AUS Thanasi Kokkinakis/Nick Kyrgios (Tennis)

:BRA Duda/Ana Patrícia (Beach Volleyball)

:CHN Chen Yuxi/Quan Hongchan (Diving)

:CHN Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan (Badminton)

:CHN Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong (Badminton)

:CHN Sui Wenjing/Han Cong (Figure Skating)

:CHN Xu Shixiao/Sun Mengya (Canoeing)

:CZE Barbora Krejčíková/Kateřina Siniaková (Tennis)

:FRA Caroline Garcia/Kristina Mladenovic (Tennis)

:FRA Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Cizeron (Figure Skating)

:FRA Hugo Boucheron/Matthieu Androdias (Rowing)

:GER Francesco Friedrich/Thorsten Margis (Bobsleigh)

:GER Laura Nolte/Deborah Levi (Bobsleigh)

:GER Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt (Luge)

:GBR Alfie Hewett/Gordon Reid (Wheelchair Tennis

:HUN Bence Nádas/Bálint Kopasz (Canoeing)

:ITA Stefania Constantini/Amos Mosaner (Curling)

:MAS Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik (Badminton)

:NED Diede de Groot/Aniek van Koot (Wheelchair Tennis)

:NOR Anders Mol/Christian Sørum (Beach Volleyball)

:POL Karolina Naja/Anna Puławska (Canoeing)

:ROU Ancuța Bodnar/Simona Radiș (Rowing)

Question - are professional boxers and rugby players who only play 15 player rugby eligible for the non-Olympic award?

For rugby players, yes (non-Olympic). For boxers it's a little tricky since professionals can compete at the Olympics, even though most of them won't. Since it's allowed, I think they should be up for the main category.

actually, the best pro boxers can't take part into the Olympics, so if someone wants to name people like Usik or Fury or Canelo and all the giants of the sport, it shouldn't happen in the Olympic categories...just my 2 cents.

Why are the best not allowed to try and qualify for the Olympics?

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

if I remember well, the boxers must have a limited number of pro fights under their belt to enter the Olympic pathway.

 

I'm sure it was between 10 and 15 max (with no title fights) when they opened to the pros in 2016, but tbh I don't know if the limitation is still in place or it's been removed. :mumble:

I don't know much about the Boxing situation, but if an athlete can't compete at the Olympics, he can be considered for the non-Olympic category. This also should include athletes that exclusively compete in events that aren't part of the Olympic programme, like those who can compete only at the World Games etc.

So if i want to nominate someone like Kliment Kolesnikov, i should do it in the non-olympic category?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Similar question - baseball players who play in the US major leagues? Olympic or non-Olympic?

    • Meanwhile, Iran killed a Palestinian civilian on the West Bank last night (and lightly injured two Israelis) in a 180 missile attack, which - like in April - seems to have ended up being not much more than somewhat annoying and damaging a few military buildings.
    • America was founded as a country for immigrants from all over (legal immigration), Israel is the land of the Jews, the one land of the jews, so yes i could definitely say that they should take them back, though after the recent attacks i'm not sure who can take them where since it seems like we are about to turn the middle east into a big crater (hopefully)
    • Until about 15 years ago, France probably didn't even have a national futsal team? Or if they did, they certainly didn't play in big events. On the other hand: Italy, Russia and Ukraine have always been strong in this sport, although Italy almost always lost to Spain in key matches.
    • In these days it's rare for a Russian to support for the Ukrainians, am I right?
    • The whole "homeland" talk (which both Israelis and Palestinians engage in) always bothers me because of how incredibly stupid it is.   As a random example, I am Acadian. So where is my "homeland"? Is it Quebec, the "French" area in North America? Is it New Brunswick, where my ancestors fled to after being deported? It it Louisiana, which was set asside for them as a place to live by the British after they were deported? It is Nova Scotia, where the Acadians settled before being conquered and deported? Is it Normandy, where my ancestors lived in Europe before settling in Nova Scotia? Is it Denmark, where my ancestors lived before conquering Normandy? Or do I go back further? Or maybe I should live in Great Britain since my ancestors were forced to become subjects of the Crown? And I'm Roman-Catholic, so maybe Italy is my homeland?   Especially stupid because for every single one of those places, some other group has a better claim as it being their "homeland" than I do, because it turns out it isn't that rare for multiple ethnic groups to have competing legitimate claims over the same area.   Anyway, I ended up moving to Washington State, which is objectively not "my homeland" but, hey, weather's nice here.    
    • This feels like... not an argument an American (or a Canadian :P ) should be making given where we live and how many countries could "take us back"...
    • Plus losing one of the classic winter sports in Nordic combined would be yet another disaster. Like it's not going downhill faster than Marco Odermatt already.
    • And considering Lappartient is basically known as having 'Conflict of Interest' as his middle name....yeah.
    • What nonsense is this?     And Tour de Ski only in Italy...meh. It was such a cool event, years ago.
    • Hundreds of dead under hurricane helene   God punishment    Free PALESTINE    Momy usa and their husband Satanyahu = terrorists criminals ...in hell 99k°   From the river to the sea Palestine will be free
