For what it's worth: the Dutch commentator said he will be, yes I believe the procedures are in such a way that this year he still wouldn't, as per the rules, but next year he should. At least I hope so, it's already sad enough he had to DNS in Tokyo just to be able to compete for not-Cuba in time for Paris.

It is about events with a long history behind, And they are supported by many different countries all over the world: Japan, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Italy, Sweden...Coincidentally, no one is an English-speaking country. Worth pointing out that race walking began in an English speaking country that also produced many Olympic champions and medallists in the sport during its long history.

Roller skating sports are very popular in South America and the mediterranean area, but no one second is wasted in thinking them as olympic sports. Instead, three "popular-all-around-the-world" team sports are included: quota reduction for other disciplines. I am not sure, but I think that olympic movement must stop for a minute and think about their future, speaking in broad terms: sports included, city election, bidding process, composition of the own IOC itself (too many princes and sheikhs...), I am not very optimistic for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,402 Posted December 25, 2023 #1915 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) One of my fav sports moments of the year 2023 heh. This photo was taken in Budapest just a few hours after Hammer Throw WCH final. A guy on the right has just won the whole thing and is celebrating it with a well-deserved glass of beer. Dude on the left didn't make it through the national prelims... Edited December 25, 2023 by rafalgorka Wumo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalgorka 1,402 Posted December 25, 2023 #1918 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) Anyway, this whole week in Budapest was fun. On the left, Piotr Lisek, our pole vaulter, one of my fav POL athletes these days. On the right - you may know this guy, a terrible spammer here on TO.
