May be is a dream: but i really want to the next IOC president be somebody outside the western countrys, foe example a japanese, to at least be more dificult to have some bad olympics politics, one is what @ChandlerMne mention about the "teen sports" like breakdance.

 

 

Someone from a different kind of country is really not going to suddenly turn the Olympics back to 'the good old days when only men and amateurs were allowed and they only did naked running and wrestling' :p 

 

That's really not going to be a matter of whichever face is at the top. The world changes, and so the Olympics changes, we've got to deal with. Lots of people like it, lots of people don't (keep in mind most regular people - which we here all are not :p - can't give two fucks about which obscure event is removed or added or whatever).

a japanese will not remove any teen sports from olympic program however since some of these (skateboard) have bring enough medals to Japan :) . I dont think its a matter of continent, Jacques Rogge for example i have the impression was closer to the profile you described (regarding the entering of new sports)

Yeah, exactly. It's not going to be possible to change everything in a way that everyone likes it, but it makes total sense that things change over the course of years. Take the breaking as example: I don't mind it being in the Olympics, wouldn't mind it not being there neither, but I did find it entertaining and it was very clearly a crowd hit.

IOC reduced number of events and athletes in many great sports. Thats a huge issue that new P. must solve.

Breakdancing is a total mess, total fiasco. 

Surfing is mostly boring to watch but i still liked it.

Skateboarding doesnt need both street and park, only one event is enough.

All mixed events are boring and should be excluded.

IOC must influence general public, not vice versa.

and strongest countries are mainly favored by this.

 

also i dont find it so bad that some sports could have more male categories (wrestling, boxing) since there are some other that have exclusively females (artistic swimming, rhythmic gymnastics) so the balance stays in overall

Dont understand me wrong: like you say, the world changes and with it the olympic games, i only pretend to an IOC Presidente who didnt make to much changes, for example: the teen sports which are added, still in the olympics, but dont added the E-sports for example, with things like that i will be conformable.

I really dont know how many real power has the IOC president, probably is just the head of a group of directings who think more or less the same, another "head" can means another group to take the power, may be with diferent ideas or not.

 

Just a dream.

You are complety rigth George, is just i think that in these days, all the western IOC directings are like Thomas Bach, i presume there arent many Rogges now, even from another continent.

 

With Rogge i see impossible to have that addition of sports for "only this edition" like Karate in Tokyo 2020 and breaking for Paris 2024.

It is beyond me that 'swimming doesn't need 136 medal events' isn't on the top of this list :p

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
