JoshMartini007 2,242 Posted March 4, 2020 #241 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The only way the "at least 1 man and 1 woman" rule will work is if nations are allowed to have at least 1 man and 1 woman in athletics. Several nations will likely end with having only one athlete at the 2020 Olympics. dcro and Olympian1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having any men/women good enough to qualify for the Olympics. This is not even an excuse, it's a right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,232 Posted March 4, 2020 #243 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Insidethegames is reporting that the IOC will be inviting athletes outside of per sport/even quotas and outside the tripartite process to ensure every country has at least one male and one female competitor.

Which they’re within their power to do. They undertook similar actions in 2012 and 2016 to ensure the participation of women. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

dcro 10,189 Posted March 4, 2020 #246 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yeah, IOC talks big about gender equality, and then in between such statements they approve IAAF's qualification system. Qualification system that only allows one universality place per nation. Not one per gender, like it was a practice for years, but one in total. That's literally setting up a number of nations to have only a single athlete in Tokyo. mrv86, Griff88 and Olympian1010 3 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khadidja Aisha 29 Posted March 4, 2020 #248 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It is a good idea that they invit one nman and one women from every nation, hopefully it will be the first step to get rid of the qualification at all. And we go back to the ideal of Baron Pierre de Ciubertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volunteer thing happened only once...it might be a one-time thing, hopefully? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Good luck with IOC banning world class super stars from Olympics these days because they make too much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
