Without getting super technical and specific, and using the 2020 Winter YOG as an example. Here we go.

 

If you look up the Lausanne2020 schedule (on Wikipedia, or the website) something should stand out quickly. The games last 14 days, and sports only go for one week. So essentially half the sports are happening in week 1 and half in week 2 (expect for one or two that span the whole schedule). The athletes stay in the village the week their sport takes place. One day they move out, and the next “wave” moves in (I believe it’s a Sunday because there’s only like 1-3 events that day or something). So essentially the village can be smaller (saving the organizers money) and sports can have more athletes. In this edition countries could have qualified up to 3 Alpine skiers for example. In the last edition only 3-5 countries got 2 skiers and everyone else got one (and some countries got none). This system is new to IOC events, but many other games already use variants of this system. It allows them to increase participation, cut costs, and have a more sustainable business model.

Looks like a good system but needs modification. 

 

Imagine Dakar having this system. Only 170 nations or so  will have their flagbearers at both ceremonies  .

Canoe, golf, field hockey, karate, modern pentathlon, shooting, sport climbing, surfing, tennis and weightlifting have essentially been dropped from the 2026 Youth Olympic program.

Wait till you hear what they will do with these sports   Sports on the engagement program (so the dropped sports) will also have the opportunity to establish a significant presence at the YO

YOG ceremonies would be fine without flagbearers to be honest. You barely see them currently anyways. Plus every nation is allowed a swimmer and track/field athlete. Just put those two sports on separate weeks and you’re good :yes.

 

That’s why there wasn’t flagbearers for many countries at the 2017 World Games if people remember that ceremony.

Wow what a suprise came out of nowhere!! 

Wushu and Baseball 5 in the Youth Olympics. 

Baseball5 is a complete shock. I also have no clue why Wushu would requested.

We all new Senegal wasn't ready.....

 

Why didn't award the games to other nation and had them host in 2026 from the beginning??? Thomas Bach wanted the "Olympics hosted in Africa" before it was realistic. And that's the price to pay.

 

Cause I don't buy that cheap excuse they are putting. They should let other country jump and host the 2022 ones,....

IOC release says "excellent preparations".. we all know this was going to be a disaster and tbh I don't think 4 additional years will be enough

      Belgrade wasnt that far from getting the Games in 1992, so i dont think that idea of having Bratislava as hosts is impossible. Probably as co-hosts though. I do believe that IOC will consider abandoning sole host idea in the nearest future.

      I feel like the shooting coaches are doing something terribly wrong. A good example is Hanna Öberg who started her career as best in the individual event (where shooting is more important) winning 1 olympic and 2 world titles despite not being a very good skiier. Suddenly she was one of the better skiiers (not this season) but very unstable shooter.    i think they practice to little on competition-like circumstances and too little in bad weather conditions too. And maybe need mental help. The coaches when interviewed have been talking for years how good Ponsilouma is at shooting both during off-season training and in the pre-race warm up shooting. Still terrible shooter in competition even if some of his very few successes have been in the most important races

      As a Mediterranean, it makes me very strange that Prague is not included in the project. Usually the Czech Republic is one of the pivots of Visegrad/Mitteleuropa. Am I missing something or some political controversy between the IOC and the Czech NOC?

      The last time this happened - all three athletes on the podium had zero podiums before - was Les Saisies sprint in December 1990: Uschi Disl, Elena Melnikova (future Sergei Tchepikov's wife) & Kerstin Moring. The latter two never finished on the World Cup podium again. This was also the race where Disl became the second youngest World Cup winner ever (currently down to third because of Neuner).

      In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.
