Nope, they will use an awful format.

 

 

Wtf is that lmfao!! Have the IOC lost it !?

 

It was also confirmed that softball will be organised as a single round robin competition, while baseball will feature a format of two groups of three teams, followed by a knockout phase"


Great, lets fly in 24 athletes per team, use a dedicated stadium in Fukushima (which is not necessary) for some teams to just play 2 games. What a fuking joke.

So dumb. You close the event with the best events and those 3 are clearly not that. 

 

Women's Handball and Volleyball finals are more exciting (to me) than Men's. So maybe for some people the Men's events are better, but not for everyone - I know for a fact that sports fans in Brazil care more about Women's than Men's, and that's a big market if we're talking about Volleyball.

 

+ (i'm just fishing here) maybe the time difference favours the Men's events finals to be held on Saturday? (for America viewers, I mean?)

 

Maybe they could create a rotation system, but there's no reason to be so mad at this decision.

This gender equality is a joke... I really hope that Bach will be finish end his career in the IOC

I’m sorry but I have to disagree. I think Women’s event fail to grow to the level of men’s because they are not given the same opportunities. This is a good change.

Right, that's fair. But to equivocally just move the women's team finals to the final day defeats the purpose of gender equality

I disagree. I think women in general are less interested in sports than men. Totallympics too for example has way more male users than female users, and that's not because Sindo awards fewer account quotas to women (well, I hope not :p).

 

It's just a fact of life imo. There are way more men doing sports than women, and that's not because women are giving up because they have (slightly) fewer Olympic quotas on offer than men. Well, that's at least the case in liberal countries...

I’m sorry but I find this incredibly sexist and wrong. Woman are “not interested” Sport because those in charge of culture and sports (the all boys club) have not given them opportunities.

Gender equality strikes again. Women's basketball, handball and volleyball finals will be played on the final day. I guess it's a miracle that they didn't mess with the men's marathon...

 

I think it's more a request by the European (and US) TV networks...

having those men's finals on Saturday at night (in Japan) means we have them in late morning/early afternoon here in Europe (which is better than having them at sunrise or even earlier)...

meanwhile the women's games (which have less audience here in Europe, but a lot more in the American Continent) on Sunday at earlier times match more the US (and the whole American Continent) TV stations requests...

      It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.

      That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.

      Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.

      Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.

      The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games.
