Well breaking was the only really controversial, and as far as I know it will not come back in LA.

Re Skateboarding I don't see if snowboarding can be at the winter Olympics why cannot be skateboarding in the summer one. So I am ok with this one (moreover I like to watch it haha)

Surfing and sport climbing are even more "legit" than skateboarding.

 

It will be more interesting what attitude will the eventual IOC president show towards a Saudi/Qatari/Emirati OG.

Hopefully at least for 2036 this bullet can be dodged.

On the other hand those hosts at least would build a decent olympic village with air conditioning 馃榿 馃榿 馃榿

What do you think about an incorporation of the E-sports to the olympic program?

The biggest hurdle for esports is creating a unifying sports federation. The scene is way too fragmented plus you have the issue of video game companies wanting a say on how their games are represented. It's just not worth the headache at this point.

 

We will also have to have a shift of acceptance towards "mind sports" like chess which is already a huge hurdle for some people.

Southeast Asians already had this thing as medal event since 2019. The game titles keep changing except Mobile Legends which is basically the opium of the youth in this region.

 

I am glad that they don鈥檛 have a proper united world federation and IOC decided to create a separate event for this.

 

But hey we don鈥檛 know what kind of U-Turn IOC would do, so my only wish is that the IOC include it in the Olympic Games programme after I am no longer around so I don鈥檛 have to cope with it :lol:

It won't happen imo (at least for the forseeable future). The new E Sports Olympics the IOC created would otherwise be useless.

If they want a woman, I'll bet on Nicole Hoevertsz. She became very important under the Bach's reign.

For me this will mean the end of olympics. BTW, is there aby chance to let Guadeloupe, Martinique, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Curacao etc have their chance to compete on equal basis as Bermuda etc?

The position of Cura莽ao is explained at the Wikipedia page about the Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee. The Dutch Wikipedia states that the IOC gave a way out, but that possibility was torpoed by the then PM of the Netherlands Antilles who chose to litigate.

Yes, i know this status. St. Martin, Sint Marten etc. I rather wonder if IOC could open the 2nd window to federations not being indenpendent countries once again. Such entities could have chosen to compete, maybe now some other would also have that chance. Curacao too. Let's say those which have 5 active disciplines (federations).

    • The problem is XD is a fun event, but its essentially a social event, and lags far behind the others both at Grand Slams and Olympics - no quotas of its own, very limited prize money - as the indivisual Olympic tennis has got more and more important, the top players have limited thhier doubles participation to the main M and W D.   a team format, however, gets some fo that BJK/Davis cup magic, and because it'll b enovel, they can REALLY mess around with it - for example, a three set match could consists of MS first set, WS second and, if needed mixed doubles decider - light work load and quick competition. could play three matches a day if needed   Would not be incredibly shocked if BOTH golf and tennis adopted a quickfire 'Olympic' format - Singles, singles, doubles - (In golf it would be 9 hole matchplay with sets replaced with 9 hole matches, and the order men's indi, women's indi, mixed foursome   On Compound, nice to see it but odd too for GB - Ella Gibson is one of the outstanding shooters of her time, but GBR don't seem to have a male compound shooter worth a candle   On voluntary team sports (Flag football, cricket, lacrosse) I smell a rankings heavy approach with continental rep limited to 3 - though they may be real sneaky with cricket and go host (USA), Euro 1(GBR), Oceania 1(Aus), Asia (1)(India) Africa 1(South Africa) and Final Qualifier 1, heavily loaded with Asia and West Indies individual teams, perhaps Ireland and New Zealand for the appearance of balance.   The Iroquois question still unresolved. GBR would be a rankings pick in everything bar men's flag football   Wonder about the Team gymnastics - Super quick fire high peril format maybe of just one gymnast per apparatus, with the floor and vault reserved to the women so each sex provide only 4 scores - would make it feel different to the existing team events, and make USA a less guaranteed gold. Qualifiation by highest score in overall Q in each event - even if that score comes from same athlete in multiple events
    • i'm too  emotionally drained to really write all the pr's right now so safe to say there were a number of them.good night,happy i don't have to have heart attacks till sunday.
    • Eammanoul sousa wins flight 2 with 67.51 a huge 3 meter personal best and extension of his national record.
    • https://worldboxing.org/ioc-confirms-gender-parity-in-boxing-at-la28-with-seven-weight-classes-for-both-men-and-women/       Well I didn't see this coming but eh world boxing have gotten rid of men's flyweight!!!!! Non Olympics weights are now 50kg, 75kg and 85kg for the men and 48kg, 80kg and 80+kg for the women. I think it is good news that they haven't added womens heavyweight but men's flyweight being gone is a shocker especially for "smaller" nations. In Rio like we had both 49 and 52kg below 56kg but now flyweight is gone completely. I mean it is tricky to have 10 weightclasses and then have only 7 for the Olympics and for both the 10 and the 7 to be evenly spaced out but like im very surprised that its flyweight thats gone and not one of 55,60,65kg. To be honest selfishly from an Irish perspective at least for this cycle I don't hate it but flyweight was one of the most competitive divisions so it being gone will hurt the weaker (well i couldn't make the small joke twice) boxing countries.   Just for context the Paris weights were (M51, M57, M63.5, M71, M80, M92 and M92+ and then W50, W54, W57, W60, W66, W75)
    • results are being posted now dimitris pavlidis of greece 63.55
    • That's why they only offered 750 points to the winner as an initial compromise. If you were the 4th/5th best player in your nation and were not selected due to NOC limits and you cared about points you would be better off competing at a different event at the same time. With a depleted field you'd likely earn more points there anyway.   It was more because ATP/WTA tournaments held at the same time were losing out on players and thus attendance for the tournaments were low.
