Anyone who easily knows when the wheelchair marathon is? Really don't want to miss that because I want to cheer for :BRA Aline Rocha :cheer: 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Not very many para-athletes that I’ll be actively cheering against, but well there’s one :sick:

 

:ITA Petrillo, well is a very controversial figure to say the least. Born a male, will compete in female events at the Paralympics, and well I don’t exactly think it’s fair. Feel bad for all of the actual women that are in the same events, wonder what they would have to say about this?

On to something a bit more… positive :d

 

I’m be rooting for :GER Rehm, :ESP Garcia Falagan (so many major championships 4th’s), :FRA Bertrand,:USA Woodhall, :CRC Guity, :ARG Impellizzari, :MRI Alphonse, :RWA women’s sitting volleyball team (when not against Canada at least), :ITA Barlaam, and :USA Masters :cheer:

 

Probably missing a couple. 
 

Edit: Oh, now also :NAM Ishitile :yes

    • That is more a legacy of Rogge’s IOC than Bach’s imo.   Admittedly the disastrous 2022 bidding process happened under Bach, but all the seeds that the IOC was reaping were sowed under Rogge and Samaranch.   Like say what you will about Bach but under Agenda 2020 every Olympic has been awarded to a democracy (  ), and we haven’t had super disastrous decisions like awarding the Winter Olympics to Sochi or awarding the Summer Olympics to an Athens bid that wasn’t going to use any temporary venues.
    • Hosting Olympic Games isn't an honor anymore. The old fashioned bidding contests are dead. Democracies are no longer willing to spend money on the "show" unlike the Middle East gulf moguls plus China. It is what it is. Professional sports is business now and it has to invest money from somewhere to make a profit later. We can mock how NBC dictates the swimming programme with finals in the morning local time but that also falls into "authoritarian" style of organzing these Games. And it will only get worse as the big pockets will only have more influence going forward. There will come a time when Bach won't be viewed as the worst anymore because just when you think it can't get any worse, it can and probably will
    • not sure at 100%, but I think all the individual sports will have 2025 world champs, too   confirmed, I found the bidding page on world skate website https://www.worldskate.org/events/bid.html   Inline and Rink Hockey world champs should be held only every 2 years
    • some things need to be done, but this IOC found the way to do them in a wrong way (not starting a long list of mistakes here)   p.s. I will always repeat that: gender equality does mean that men and women must have the same range of opportunity and the same treatment/respect, not that they must have the exact same number of athletes in all the disciplines (and have exactly the same disciplines) in the Olympic schedule
    • Ah interesting! And you know if they will have some World championship event next years or will it only be again during the next world games?
    • God forbid the Olympics get dragged into the 21st century.   There are a lot of bad changes that the Olympic champion in Fencing has made. But cutting the hosting costs (the IOC just cannot afford another disastrous series of white elephants like Athens 2004 and Sochi 2014 left behind), modernizing the Olympic program and, yes, focussing on gender equality are all reforms that were needed.   How those reforms were made I have a lot of issues with, but I really think you need to have your head in the sand to believe those reforms were optional. If anything it took the IOC too long to prioritize those things.

    • yes, this is the 2024 official world championship
    • From march 2025 , europeans  will enter UK with visa  well done uk , let's isolate europe 
    • no, it's that fuckin' agenda 2020 (and following), that fuckin' gender equality, the fact that they got rid of iconic events (and made some more of them just ridiculous), the senseless mixed events (most of them, at least) and the fact that they filled the schedule with an unacceptable amount of non-sports
