16 women's teams, because 12 is a shitty number for a tournament - both because the forced continental representation will lead to it being a relatively weak tournament and because you can not make a decent tournament with 12 teams, you'll be forced to have the super awful 'best third placed teams' nonsense.   0 men's teams   Instead of a total of 28, we go to a total of 16 teams. We gain 12 x whatever number of players are in a men's team for sports where the Olympics are important, we have a women's tournament with a decent format and we get rid of having junior championships at the Olympics, win-win-win

as usual, when a major tournament is held in China, it makes almost impossible to follow properly, especially when it comes to live broadcast    now, there's only a streaming on the official website working only on PCs, no YT, no apps, which means no comfortable TV watch    however, the first couple of days has already gone and we know the individual Sabre medallists...

new IOC President & Executive Board, but the good old shit doesn't seem to stop at all  

the Italian Spring Nationals (main selection meet for the World Champs) start on Sunday in the usual location of Riccione   a few of our main swimmers won't participate (or won't be tapering because they are already qualified), among them Gregorio Paltrinieri and Thomas Ceccon, who's still training in Australia and he's likely to compete at the Australian Trials (despite he won't be able to swim the A finals, as far as I know)   however, a few youngsters are expected to step up and earn themselves some attention by our NT officials (if not a place on the team)   the main star of the week should be Carlos D'Ambrosio, who recently beat the old 200m freestyle short course national record held by Filippo Magnini since a very long time (2009, with the old rubber suits)   among the women, lots of expectations are on Sara Curtis   but, even if it seems a bit too early, take note of this name: Alessandra Mao (class of 2011) many people expect her as the true "new" Pellegrini

I would propose 12 men's and women's teams

I found this on NRK (Norway) NRK Sport – Sportsnyheter, resultater og sendeplan    FIFA suggests 16 women-team og 12 men-team. Decision tomorrow.   09:02 Fifa foreslår historisk kvinneløft i OL-fotballen – kan bli vedtatt onsdag Det internasjonale fotballforbundet vil snu fordelingen og la 16 kvinne- og 12 herrelag spille fotball i OL. Onsdag er det styremøte i Den internasjonale olympiske komité (IOC). Det er de som må ta den endelige avgjørelsen etter at Fifa-president Gianni Infantino fortalte om forslaget på Uefa-kongressen i Beograd før helgen. Infantino sier at Det internasjonale fotballforbundet ønsker å øke antallet kvinnelag for å styrke kvinnefotballbevegelsen. Årsaken til at IOC angivelig ikke ønsker å øke det totale antallet lag til 32, er ifølge nyhetsbyrået AP at rundt 70 ekstra spillere pluss lagledere presser grensen for avtalte utøverkvoter i OL neste sommer-OL. I de siste sommerlekene har fotballturneringene bestått av 12 kvinnelag og 16 U23-lag (med innslag av eldre spillere) for menn. OL i 2028 arrangeres i Los Angeles i USA. Fifa-forslaget kan havne på IOCs bord allerede på onsdagens styremøte. (NTB)
