Online chess is legitimately the most popular esports on that list xD

I know how popular it is , but since the esport is exactly the same as the real life sport isn't the "e" part completely redundant?

I was hoping to see they crown Tommy B as the lifelong king of IOC.    he shouldn't be just IOC's president, he should be the King. I mean he acts like a true dictator, why not giving him a

Good idea to keep it away from the normal games.

I'm not familiar with most of those games but I guess the idea was to pick the most "realistic" videogames that have to do with some of the sports under the umbrella of a IOC recognized IF.   

  

They must have wanted to avoid something like ISSF organizing a competition of a FPS game with cartoon characters or people dying of headshots :lol:

Probably not in Ukraine though...

Ukraine is one of the traditional powers in Counter Strike. So is Russia, obviously, but unlike all those fake esports (minus Grand Turismo) CS is actually popular in Ukraine.

The IOC will never authorize any game with a war component to be an official Olympic Esport. It just looks so wrong.

Some notes from today’s IOC EB presser…

 

:AFG remains on watch by the IOC, as does :IRI (both for access to sport for “women and young girls”)

 

:GUA remains suspended for governance issues.

 

:IND making progress on governance issues. IOC still has some reservations about the appointment of a CEO.

 

IFAF (American Football) will be recommended for full recognition at the IOC Session.

IOC does not have any problems with the sport of boxing, or with boxers, but with the IBA (according to the IOC spokesperson). This matches largely the rumors/reporting @Dragon had picked up on earlier.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
