Anyway, if somehow this is real, I guess this mixed-nations teams wouldn't really be a threat for a medal, right?

 

Yeah, probably not, but there could be some decent teams nevertheless.

 

In any case, FEI already significally increased number of team quotas by reducing size of the teams from 4 to 3, so with that in mind mixed-NOC teams would be even weirder.

And, most importantly, it's not mentioned in any of the qualification systems or in Memo.

Composite teams are mentioned, not mixed-NOC teams. Definition of composite team is given on the appendix at the last page. Basically a team created because enough individuals from a certain nation have qualified to form a team, we had those in Rio too (now it's slightly different process because nations can qualify only one individual so composite teams are exceptional circumstance).

By the way, if we're comparing with the Ancient Olympics, we might as well also throw out women entirely, throw out the use of clothes and stop professionals from competing :p (although I'm not sure the Greek competitors were considered amateurs)

 

Half the tickets were free back then, so that's a good thing to go back to :d 

 

You should also throw out sports like waterpolo or handball too because they didn't exist back then either, but that's not the point I'm making. The competition between nations is the very basic core of the games, If you even ditch that then it's not the olympic games anymore, other than in name.

If it came to pass then yes this would be the worst ever change to the Olympics to date. Mixed NOC teams, who cares about that :facepalm:

So along with urban and youthful they should mention the word mixed, because they like that a LOT! :d

 

I highly doubt this will happen though.

Not "mixed", diverse nationality team is the correct Agenda 2020 term.

You have disobeyed Agenda 2020.

You shall be eliminated.

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

Definitely some people who are just normal sports fans instead of diehard sports fans, and suddenly have someone in a team competition :p  (in one of the likely few teams like this)

 

I still see no way  how this is worse than kicking out great events in favour of gender equality pushing mixed events.

It seems polluted open water venue is not limited to "3rd world" countries

A little surprised I must say...

 

I don't know why, but I'm not, instead...:whistle::facepalm:

 

however, I'd rather expect Tokyo Bay water to be positive to radioactive substances, too...I hope they're not hiding the truth about it, since after the Fukuyama tragedy they've not been that transparent neither to the scientific community nor the local people...

 

in this kind of situation, it's sad to be said, politicians are the same all over the world...

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
