International Olympic Committee News


Recommended Posts

The world lacrosse championships has 1 of the most insane competition formats I've ever seen that basically guarantees 4 or 5 countries at the top and then they have to have every team play classification games so they can decide who finishes in 37th place.

 

It doesn't belong in the Olympics.

I wonder if the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (not the same thing as the country of Malta) could create an NOC under existing rules. Despite having no territory it is considered sovereign, issues it’s own passport and has diplomatic relationships with many countries.

Will not happen.

If the Iroquios are accepted then why not Gibraltar, The Falkland Islands, Tibet, South Ossetia, Northern Cyprus, Inner Mongolia, Western Sahara, Nagorno-Karabash, Catalonia, Euskadi, Galicia, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Heligoland....

I don't think it's stretch to say Scotland will have its own NOC and Olympic team by 2024, 2028 at the latest.

why not any single sovereign citizen or self-proclamed so of this world, then? :yikes: :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

I have a home that's my exclusive property, I have my Flag, I have my personal account and family balance sheet, I have a printer (so, I can even print my own money by myself)...

 

now, I want my own NOC, too...:yikes: :lol: :rofl: :facepalm:

Perfectly possible by 2028.

But of course independence would have to come first, IOC membership later.

Fencing, I suppose.

Lacrosse would just be another women's ice hockey - another two country sport with the Gold medal game always being between USA and Canada  ( not that these two countries are complaining )

 

 But then the bar for Olympic inclusion is much MUCH lower for the Winter Olympics . Even men's ice hockey is really only a two continent sport -no Summer sport which was only seriously played in 2 continents would make the cut )

I think Australia may be ranked #3 in lacrosse  and the game is invisible there  - maybe like kabaddi   or korfball  ( in major immigrant countries every micro sport has at least a small presence )

I looked this up -only 2 Aussie universities have lacrosse clubs ( and they have a lot of sporting clubs )

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
