Or fucking women's skateboarding.  

Skateboarding as a whole actually.. like we don't have enough X-Games sports that should just stay at the X-Games (especially in the winter, with all the big air, slopestyle, halfpipe kind of stuff).

At least your cousin Brad from the 1990s is going to watch it because it is 'tubular'.

For fucks sake. Skateboarding. You know I was joking about adding Gaelic football but that probably has more of a scope.

As well as cricket, rugby league, like, more people probably watch e-Sports than skateboarding. 

As now we come across the world

I'm from the 1990's and I'm not gonna watch :p 

 

It sounds just as exciting to me as freestyle snowboarding and skiing (halfpipe, slopestyle, big air, that kind of stuff): fun to watch and definitely a true sport, but with a place at the X-Games and not at the Olympics.

Handball qualification has started (probably, we don't really know for sure).

Football and Basketball will start during 2017.

Hopefully they will release the procedures soon, and we will know how to get to Tokyo 2020 (the answer is: by plane).

men's football European qualifiers...

http://www.uefa.com/under21/news/newsid=2428250.html

 

format will be the same as 2017 sub-21 Euro...the 12 teams qualified for the final tournament will be divided in 3 groups...

then the groups' winners and the best second ranked team will qualify for the semis (and the OG, considered that there will be 4 spots allocated to UEFA)...

a 5th place playoff will be contested only if 1 or more British teams will reach the semis...

 

men's South American qualification will be played at Sudamericano Sub-20 in January 2019 (all 10 teams are already qualified to that tournament, of course)...

location is still TBD...

 

no idea about times and dates for the other Continents...

Yeah, we're going to have to get the thread underway aren't we :p

For handball, 2018 European qualification has started which leads to World which qualified one place

2020 European qualification has started which qualifies one place

Based on 2016

No-one is, let's be honest. Good luck for TV channels in European countries that don't care to find commentators in their language, just some random guy that skates in the park probably. But no-one will watch it so it will be fine.

    • Good luck then! Keep us updated please!!!   And see you in 2026 olympics!!!
    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
