It's rather self explanatory. That does in fact explain the lack of winter sports federations, yes 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!

He also was the main reason the US attended the 1936 Olympics, even though many athletes, citizens, and leaders favored a boycott of the Games. I believe he also favored the participation of apartheid nations, and turned the Israeli Memorial Service in 1972 into a political spectacle of his own agenda. He is by far the worst IOC President in history. The IOC also tries to cover up his wrongdoings to save their image. thiago_simoes and John Foyne 2 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Guy hated everyone that wasn’t a white male. Not only that but he was never for the athletes. He fought to keep amateurism around until his dying breath. Just not a nice guy.

Vojthas 947 Posted July 17, 2020 #350 Share Posted July 17, 2020 So far I've seen such things just in a Polish comedy on communism times. That show in favour of Bach is simply outrageous. I think the only voting at today's Session is going to be for canonization of Thomas Bach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
