On the other side, one could say that the organizers should grow up and not cut a traditional sport only because they don't care about it, while other Commonwealth countries do and are pretty good at it.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think it's weird to cut it even though I find it rather boring, but boycotting the entire event because of it and taking away rare opportunities from athletes in all kinds of non-related sports just cause you're angry? Meh.

I know people don't like the Commonwealth Games very much on this site and tbh justifiably so, but I must admit I'm really looking forward to this

Especially when they kept Beach Volleyball. There was like maybe two pairs that were in the top 50 in the world at the last Commonwealth Games.

While proposing a boycott of the 2022 CWG, Batra had lashed out at the CGF leadership for having an “India bashing mindset” and for “trying to change rules” whenever the country does well in the Commonwealth Games. He went to the extent of saying that India is no longer a colony of any country.

 

 

This proposal might not be accepted by the people and maybe even the government but it reflects the feeling of Indians about the attitude of the people involved in Commonwealth decisions.

This is interesting. What a bunch of babies!

Fun times for the CGF:

I don't get it. If it's too easy for India to get medals at the CWG, why are they so angry about losing a couple of medal chances? In theory, there are plenty of other chances in other sports, right?

It’s more the cultural/social impact of shooting being removed. No one would dare remove Athletics (Caribbean/African stronghold), or Gymnastics (Britain stronghold), or Swimming (Australia stronghold), or Rugby (White people everywhere + Fiji, Samoa, South Africa), but when people of color in Asia get good at a sport, it gets removed. I’m not saying that was Birmingham 2022’s intentions were at all, but the removal of shooting (for lack of venue) is a bit fishing considering the lengths their going to for the likes of cycling. I do personally think the removal was meant to give the English a medal table advantage. However, the situation is way overblown at this point.

Actually..... The CWG is dominated by ENGLAND and AUSTRALIA to the point that they do not allow any voice of other nations...... Many decisions in shooting, weightlifting have been anti india snd i guess that's what batra is saying

Perfectly said by @Olympian1010 

When cycling can be held in London why not shooting in Manchester which is nearer than London. 

More over shooting has seen a domination from India at the world stage like never before. So removing it will be more than just losing medals!! It will be like denying our shooters a important chance of exposure in multi sport events , which is required as shooting is expected to win more medals than any other sport worldwide.

To be fair, India’s always had the short end of the commonwealth (and I’m talking in general here). Quite frankly I don’t understand why they just don’t leave the commonwealth. Shooting is almost definitely a commonwealth sport. It might not be historically, but it is one of the most widespread within the commonwealth now.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
