International Olympic Committee News

[Olympian1010 8,276]

Just comparing the 2020 qualification system principles to the 2024 version released by the IOC EB today. There’s some interesting language or procedural changes to note. The four “big” ones I noticed were:

 

It seems like the IOC is going to overhaul the tripartite invitation system. Along this line, the language used suggests all individuals sports will now have quotas dedicated to universality places. The document stated “a detailed universality places allocation procedure will be published in February 2022.”

 

The IOC wants qualification systems to guarantee the participation of the best athletes based on “Field of Play performances.” I’m not sure how much to read into this, but it could be interpreted as they’d like sports to do away with ranking based qualification.

 

Also, the need for qualification systems to outline “minimum level of performance” to be eligible for quotas comes up in a few different places in the document. This could mean that all sports are expected to have minimum qualification scores/times/marks/criteria now…

 

Lastly, since it’s been a point of contention on here. The IOC was very clear that all sports need to guarantee continental representation

The only good thing or relevant in any case is the fact is she’s the first woman to lead.

 

I’ll leave her the benefit of the doubt, but fyi she’s a member of the Congress so probably at one time or another she will be nothing else than a puppet, just like Felipe Muñoz (out only gold medalist in swimming) was 20 years ago.

Danka Barteková should become a member of the International Olympic Committee again

 

The IOC executive agreed on her nomination at its Thursday's virtual session, which will be officialized at the next IOC session. This will take place in February 2022 in Beijing, shortly before the beginning of the winter olympics. In the past, it has happened quite exceptionally that someone nominated by the IOC executive for membership of the IOC has not been elected in the end. So it looks very promising.

 

She lost her IOC membership after eight years in office on the last day of this year's Tokyo Olympics Games. But the IOC executive yesterday decided to nominate her for full membership. If elected, According to the current Olympic Charter, she could be a member of the organization until she will be 70 years old, so quite a lot of years to come. 

 

Which would be fine, since need a representative in the IOC and let s be honest there nobody better than Danka and her inteligence, diplomatic skills and disarming charm, to serve also our interests since we started kinda losing our medal events from the program one by one like seriously significantly lately lol
