IOC did not ban the weak and poor China back in 2008 despite the "Tibetan Genocide" where hundreds of thousands of persecuted Tibetans relocated to USA and Europe. IOC and some random western country like USA has no power now to ban the powerful and growing China now for "Uyghur Genocide" that results to hundreds of thousands of persecuted Uyghurs escaping to USA and Europe. 

 

I feel sorry for Uyghur personalities like Dilraba and countless other personalities, those tens of millions of followers in social media, western luxury brand endorsements and millions of yuans in income are the worst kind of persecution. :cry:

My heart is broken... We were weak and poor in 2008.:cry:

The IOC has selected Brisbane, Australia as it's preferred bidder for 2032.

 

In other news sure looks like Surfing is in the Summer Olympics long term.

Quote

The IOC will undoubtedly face criticism about a lack of transparency since John Coates, head of the Australian Olympic Committee and a close ally of the IOC President Thomas Bach, chaired a working group in 2019 that examined changing the process for selecting a host city for 2032.

Bach also raised the possibility of kicking weightlifting off the program.

Heard this before. How often can you hear the same bullshit and still buy it? China won the weightlifting medal table at the last FIVE Olympics and we all know Bach and IOC won't do anything to hurt China. C'mon, you ought to know better at this stage :p

It's more likely the IOC takes over weightlifting like it did with boxing.

 

There is no "professional weightlifting" that sucks all the talent out of the Olympics pool though. The thing with boxing is that all the teenagers from USA, UK, Latin American countries are lured by the big pro contracts and don't need Olympic medals anymore. World Amateur Boxing championships are dominated by Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Cuba lately so by countries that get zero love from IOC to begin with. The cold war USA vs The East in amateur boxing is long extinct.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
