Online chess is legitimately the most popular esports on that list xD

I know how popular it is , but since the esport is exactly the same as the real life sport isn't the "e" part completely redundant?

I was hoping to see they crown Tommy B as the lifelong king of IOC.    he shouldn't be just IOC's president, he should be the King. I mean he acts like a true dictator, why not giving him a

Good idea to keep it away from the normal games.

I'm not familiar with most of those games but I guess the idea was to pick the most "realistic" videogames that have to do with some of the sports under the umbrella of a IOC recognized IF.   

  

They must have wanted to avoid something like ISSF organizing a competition of a FPS game with cartoon characters or people dying of headshots :lol:

Probably not in Ukraine though...

Ukraine is one of the traditional powers in Counter Strike. So is Russia, obviously, but unlike all those fake esports (minus Grand Turismo) CS is actually popular in Ukraine.

The IOC will never authorize any game with a war component to be an official Olympic Esport. It just looks so wrong.

Some notes from today’s IOC EB presser…

 

:AFG remains on watch by the IOC, as does :IRI (both for access to sport for “women and young girls”)

 

:GUA remains suspended for governance issues.

 

:IND making progress on governance issues. IOC still has some reservations about the appointment of a CEO.

 

IFAF (American Football) will be recommended for full recognition at the IOC Session.

IOC does not have any problems with the sport of boxing, or with boxers, but with the IBA (according to the IOC spokesperson). This matches largely the rumors/reporting @Dragon had picked up on earlier.

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.

      Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.

      Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig

      Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.

      Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
