International Olympic Committee News

The most puzzling Polish name for a foreign country is obviously "Włochy". It comes from a German version of Vlahs who invaded Italy in the medieval period. The same background has the Hungarian name of Italy. However we sometimes use the term "Italia" just to have some language diversity :p

I´ve always been curious about what different NOC presidents exactly do during the Olympic cycle. and today for example I just found that our NOC president was in Montreal (officially a business trip obviously) just to took a pic with Slafkovský and watch a NHL game. What a amazing job it is to be a NOC president :p

 

If wonder, the NOC president is the guy in the left side :d

A noteworthy proposal from today’s Olympic Summit…

 

”In the course of the debate, the Acting President of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) stated that, on the Asian continent, the reasons for the protective measures no longer exist. The OCA offered to facilitate the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in competitions in Asia under its authority, while respecting the sanctions in place.”

Would be a bit crazy if Belarus were part of Asia & Qazaqstan part of Europe.

It's been clear for months that this is the only way for Russians to come back to international competitions soon. Otherwise they'll likely wait for years.

I oppose it unless it will not decrease Asian countries continental quota chances. We can't have Australia and Russia at the same time without more reallocated continental quotas especially group ball sports.

Another interesting nugget from that press release in relation to Winter Olympics: “A number of proposals which could have an impact on future elections were discussed, including rotation of the Games within a certain pool of hosts, minimum climate conditions and existing infrastructure criteria.”

When I read this RUS BLR ASIA news, I think about what Orwell once wrote

 

"Serious sport
has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy,
boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing
violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting."

 

Papers in POL have reminded me this quote recently.

 

And I agree that CHN can't have "AUS" and RUS at the same time, that would be unfair ;-)

 

That would be easier for POL if we don't have RUS and BLR in continental quali as well, quite obvious...

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
