and per Hangzhou 2022 official website Dragon Boat will be a part of Canoeing competition. but they said nothing about Soft Tennis (which is usually a part of tennis competition) or 3x3 basketball. and beside that it's not clear if Chess is just Chess or will include some weird Chinese Chess competition too.

 

 

It will be included... Together with Go/Weiqi, just like 2010.

 

Here is an excerpt of news, I highlighted the words (although it might be not updated)

thanks. google translate didn't help with this :d and obviously I can't read a single Chinese character. anything else I missed ? google translate is far from accurate.

 

btw that's a terrible idea, dropping a sport like Karate with 40 nations participating and adding Chinese Chess !! which is not even a sport to have TV coverage etc. I like the real Chess though but only the blitz competition which is possible for TV broadcasting.

The rest of the news basically are identical with your post.

 

However, in the closing part it is said that they are also hinting the possible changes to the programme with "youth sports" (I bet Bach will be horny after this). They mentioned skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing, and...... f***ing breakdancing

p.s. I read in the Italian news that e-sports also have been dropped...:thumbup::champion::cheer:

 

if that's true, it means that we still have someone capable of using his brain...that's encouraging! :rofl::lol:  :facepalm:

Welp I will be happy too :cheer:

 

It would be weird for a country with gamer rehab center to showcase e-sports

China begs to differ with your TV coverage opinion. Exhibit A (and B, C, D, E, F, G):

I’ve already faced the reality that Breaking will be an official sport at the 2023 Pan Am Games. Hopefully Sport Climbing will be too.

Sport Climbing :clap:. Arguably the best sport, after Biathlon of course (and maybe Cycling) @heywoodu

    • Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?
    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at home, so I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...

    • @Antooo any chance that you will be able to prepare 2026 olympics schedule in Excel/PDF file like you did for 2024??? It should be easier now, much less events to do. And no hurry at all, we have 15 months to go...

    • IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
    • Allez  He tried to pull this one lots of time and finally managed to go all the way.
    • Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba. Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
