Hello controversy :p (for the bronze)

 

On the bright side of the controversy: a few more people now know about the existence of para-athletics.

Your reply made me curious, so I decided to search "her" name on Google. IPC allowing a male athlete to compete in female events is absolutely unbelievable :hairpull: :coffee:  

 

Yeah, that's a plus :p hopefully those articles will inspire some readers to actually watch para-athletics, it's surprisingly fun to watch (First time I watched it was during Rio 2016, and got hooked within two minutes), and learning all the different classifications and the stories, it's really inspiring. But most people don't care about disabled sport, so obviously there'll be a lack of interest.

But most people don't care about disabled sport, so obviously there'll be a lack of interest. 

Honestly it's not like I don't find it interesting to watch, but the inherent unfairness in most para-sports (since often people with different disabilities compete in the same category to avoid having 1 million categories with 2 competitors) has sort of turned me off for a while now, together with the often relatively low level of competitiveness. Look at para-alpine skiing or something for example, so often one sees differences of 5+ seconds in between the medals.....I mean, it's great what they do, but I do want to feel some sort of competitive tension when watching sports :p Sure some disciplines have it, but in general the fields are just very, very limited. Which is good in a humane sense, since having equal numbers of top-level participants in para-sports would mean a lot more people having disabilities and that's not good :p 

 

And about Petrillo: the only thing I can say is that it's....interesting (for lack of a better word) to see the comments on social media. Like far-right weirdo Andy Ngo, who sees things like Petrillo's story and - as one can sense from Ngo's tweets - immediately runs to Twitter absolutely fuming, ramming down on his keyboard as angrily as possible to tweet out how awful it all is :whistle: (personally I'm not sure I agree with the likes of Petrillo competing here, but if she's following the rules, there is zero reason to attack her personally and call her all kinds of disgusting and humiliating stuff like people on a certain side on social media so often like to do)

    • The full schedule in shorttrack always appears very late, like the day/evening before the first day. So tomorrow evening, you should see it here: https://www.shorttrack.swisstiming.com/?evt=11213100000127
    • I think you're doom spiraling too hard after just a few races...   Giacomel is very strong and I think that he might definitely land on a podium this season. The Italian women's team has a lot of very talented juniors that just need some time to grow. Dorothea Wierer also took her time to grow into her best form, so why is it not possible to give some time to the other talented athletes? Not everyone is bound to crush it at 21-23 y. o. 
    • Of course they could make lineal world records, but they don't want that, because those records would never be beaten. And it's way more marketable, flashy etc. when you have "modern" WR and they happen regularly. Athletics have started mastering this in their course of upgrading the old WRs with "exciting new stars".   There is absolutely no reason, when your current weight is up to 89 kg for example, and the previous WR has been set in the old weight at 85-86-87 etc. that it's not automatically taken. It has been set under the current limit, there is no difference if the person weighted 85 or 88.5 kg it's within the range.. Now if the old category was over 89, then there would be an advantage, so those WR shouldn't be taken.    The best way is, like you mentioned, to use the bodyweight of everyone, but that is an impossible ask for any weightlifting governing body. I'm not even sure how they are able to run a normal excel..

Olympic sports Canoeing, Field Hockey, Golf, Modern Pentathlon, Shooting, Sport Climbing, Tennis, and Weightlifting will not be involved in any matter while the non-Olympic sport of Karate was also dropped. Baseball/Softball, Dancesport, and Wushu are non-Olympic sports which will get to participate in some capacity.   22/31 Olympic sports will be present (surfing has yet to be involved at a Youth Olympics).   I know we can't (or should) emulate the Olympic program, but hosts should try to include as many sports as possible, especially the relatively cheaper ones like shooting, sport climbing and weightlifting. The good thing is that it looks like the mixed NOCs events are gone (I think they mentioned this earlier).
    • schedule of events is always the same, you can look at the previous round and see how normally things go   no finals on Friday (qualifications of all events only), medal sessions are always only on Saturday and Sunday (alternating men and women's distances on the 2 days, mixed relay normally ends on Sunday)
    • There are both positives and negatives in this situation. The negative is that we are once again changing the weights and erasing records in an attempt to forget the past and "start all over". Nothing speaks more about the integrity of a sport, when it changes it's system every 5 years.   On the positive is that they are actually reducing the number of weights and not keeping the absurd 10. And i know, that for a long time in the past they were always 10, but i think 8 is the perfect balance.   If only wrestling could reduce them to 8 as well.. Boxing could have 10, but that would still be a plus from their current 13-15, or whatever number they have.
    • I think this time  won't get many 4th places, rather they have some chances to win it all (in Freestyle)
    • some Olympic stars are missing...   no Ceccon nor Martinenghi for  and, above all, no  Marchand
    • New events happening.   There will be a mixed 4x100m, starting 2025 Official Walk distances from 2026 will now simply be Marathon & Half Marathon.   https://worldathletics.org/news/press-releases/world-athletics-council-action-against-gender-based-violence
