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)

I can think of one other very worthy candidate in rowing too ;) 

 

:IRL O’Donovan / McCarthy who just happen to be unbeaten since 2019!

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 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?

    • 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.
