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.

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).

 For any Estonians here, Eesti Meedia has sub-licensed from Eurosport. Great.

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.

    • Right, ready for  Brazil's first ever Paralympic Winter Games gold medal today   And with watching live actually being possible, vamos.
    • Great Britain only has a few medal chances to begin with, you can't genuinely expect all of your medal chances to convert, or even one unless they're a heavy favourite. 
    • A question about relay  qualification to LA 2028:    either you are among top 12 at the WCH, then you get 2 additional spots, or you have 4 swimmers there anyway and they can compete as relay, is that right?    now following scenario:  lets say an NOĆ has only one swimmer with A standard , let’s say 100m freestyle, and no other  swimmer qualified in any other discipline, but they are 12th in 4x100 freestyle at the WCH.  they would get two additional quota, but would have to decline them as they can’t compose a relay with 3 swimmers? Is this correct? 
    • March 9th Results - Americas   Pool A:    Colombia 4-3  Panama   Highlights:      Cuba 1-4  Puerto Rico   Highlights:     Pool A Standings:     Team W L PCT Puerto Rico* 3 0 1.000 Cuba 2 1 .667 Canada 1 1 .500 Colombia 1 3 .250 Panama 1 3 .250   Pool B:    Brazil 1-8  Great Britain   Highlights:      Mexico 3-5  United States   Highlights:     Pool B Standings:     Team W L PCT USA 3 0 1.000 Italy 2 0 1.000 Mexico 2 1 .667 Great Britain 1 3 .250 Brazil 0 4 .000   Pool D:    Dominican Republic 10-1  Israel   Highlights:      Venezuela 4-0  Nicaragua   Highlights:   Pool D Standings:     Team W L PCT Venezuela* 3 0 1.000 Dominican Rep.* 3 0 1.000 Israel 1 2 .333 Netherlands 1 2 .333 Nicaragua 0 4 .000  
    • If anyone is interested, here is a link to a GeoGuessr Challenge.   It's in single player. There are 5 rounds total, and you have to pinpoint on a map as close as you can to the actual location that you spawned at. For this particular challenge, you have a time limit of 10 minutes per round and you can move as much as you want.   Since this is Totallympics, thought this particular map would be an appropriate theme. There is a flag at the start of each location that's supposed to help you identify where you are.   You can do this challenge at any time (no need to coordinate times with other users) and you only need a regular account, not a premium account.
    • Iran : any country closes/kick the US embassy will get a free pass in Hormuz strait     
    • March 9th Results - Asia   Pool C:    South Korea 7-2  Australia   Highlights:     Pool C Standings:     Team W L PCT Japan* 3 0 1.000 South Korea* 2 2 .500 Australia 2 2 .500 Taiwan 2 2 .500 Czech Republic 0 3 .000 *Japan and South Korea advance to the quarterfinals
    • Puerto Rico beats  Cuba 4-1 and advances to the quarterfinals.   The Canada vs. Cuba matchup on Wednesday will decide who will be the 2nd team to advance from Pool A.
    • I mean you don't need 2 weeks for a 12 team tournament. The 20-team WBC is already 13 days and they are stretching the final stages. You can probably get away doing it in 9-10 days, including rain contingency.
    • The 6 teams is very disappointing, but I think there would be no chance the MLB would allow players is the competition took the entire length of the Olympics. Giving players one week off is manageable, two weeks is near impossible from the MLB perspective.   IOC probably had to decide between having 8-12 teams w/o MLB players or 6 teams with possibly having MLB players.
