and I can see Bridge too ! and 10 seconds of googling confirmed that  :facepalm:

http://www.worldbridge.org/2020/10/02/bridge-included-in-the-asian-olympic-games-2022/

 

in that program, they considered Esports as part of the Chess/Go/Xiangqi/Bridge program as one sport I can't read the name. board games maybe

 

-

so from 2018 program, they only dropped Bowling, Pencak silat, Sambo, Jet Ski and Paragliding.

Bowling had its debut in 1978 and was in AG program since 1994.

Yeah, it’s a shame Bowling was dropped. I think having it on the program really raised the level of play in Asia. Asia/Pan American are kind of the powerhouses in the sport thanks to it’s inclusion in their continental Games, and now both seem set to drop the sport :(

Sharp eyes :d

 

so here is the list, based on that table, we have 42 "sports" here. While Esports is a part of "mind sports" ,  they considered Dragon boat separately but that's usually counted under ICF events. I don't know where they are going to put Dancesport (breaking) to make it 40 sports as planned :d

 

it seems Cycling BMX is only BMX racing, no BMX freestyle as far as I understand

 

but based on that table, this is the final list of sports and disciplines.

 

1. Ahletics

2. Tennis (Tennis and Soft Tennis)

3. Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Swimming, Water Polo and Marathon Swimming)

4. Cycling (Track, MTB, Road, BMX)

5. Triathlon

6. Archery

7. Shooting (Rifle/Pistol, Running Target and Shotgun)

8. Modern Pentathlon

I found this, the most interesting thing about OCA is they first pick a number and then fit sports into it :d they wanted to have 40 sports, so Esports HAD to be part of something else, Kurash, Karate and Jujitsu also should be considered as just one sport !! why ?

 

2022-AG-Hangzhou-Sports-Programme.jpg?re

 

there are some "interesting" changes in the number of events for each sport. can someone guess what's the 8th event in Badminton ? mixed team relay ? really ?! :facepalm:

 

having 6 events in Tennis is also confusing !? it was usually 7 or 5 ?! did they drop the mixed doubles ?

 

33 for shooting ?! did they bring back all team events ? it was 44 with all team events and 20 without them in Jakarta. so what does 33 means ? probably "some team events" and not all of them :dunno:

 

13 for Taekwondo ? did they drop all non-Olympic events once again to add 5 STUPID poomsae events ?! Indonesia :mad: started this by dropping non-Olympic events , they were always part of the program. Poomsae in and half Kyurugi events out is extremely stupid. :thumbdown:

 

Archery will have full program with 10 events, both compound and recurve. for the first time

 

and a 5th event in Squash ? mixed doubles maybe ? I rarely see doubles playing in Squash (I know that exists) that box is already small for 2 guys. let alone 4.

 

and despite all news about increasing events of Kurash, it's still just 7 which is good. I wish it was 0

 

sport climbing still has 6 but I don't know if it's something stupid like what we had in Jakarta (Speed, Speed relay and combined) or the normal program with all 3 main disciplines (Speed, Boulder, Lead) ?!

 

and 12 gold medals for roller skating :yikes: come on. 12 !!!

from 2022 Paris program, Surfing and BMX freestyle are not present here, plus Canoe Slalom Extreme

I’ve always found that both amusing and annoying as well :d

My guess is: Singles M/W, Doubles M/W/Mixed, Team Mixed. I seem to remember a Mixed Team event being held at a few multi-sports games.

Well, the current Olympic program is 15 events + Mixed Team Skeet in Paris, so assuming all those events are held (including both Moxed Team Shotgun events), that’s 16. I do know Running Target will be on the program, and that would most likely be 6 more events. So that’s 22 “regular” events. My guess is then there will either be non-Olympic events like 50m prone, 25m center fire pistol, etc. on the program, or there will be gender specific team events for all the regular individual events.

That would be my guess. I’m not against the Poomsae events personally, I find them more tolerable than Kata at least. I still haven’t made up my mind on wether or not I like form events included in multi-sports games yet.

 

Archery having a full program for once is a small victory.

Mixed Doubles would absolutely be my guess for a fifth event. It’s already held at the Commonwealth Games and Pan American Games. I’m not a big fan of doubles events in Squash/Racquetball.

I heard that it will be Speed, Speed Relay, Boulder, but I don’t know if that’s final yet. Perhaps after the Paris 2024 announcement they’ll go with Speed, Speed Relay, Boulder/Lead Combined. I’d be okay with that, but I’d prefer the 6 individual disciplines myself. I think Speed Relay is fun event, but it’s not my favorite. I’d rather have a Lead event personally.

That would (hopefully) be the full regular program of track events. 200m (or) 300m Time Trial, 500m Sprint, 1000m Sprint, 10000m (or) 15000m Points Race (or) Points/Elimination Race, 15000m (or) 20000m Elimination Race. I’d be very happy about that.

20 from Jakarta plus team events in the 12 Olympic events would bring us to 32. For the last event, I think it would either be 300m Women's Rifle and replacement of one of the running events with Women's running event for full gender equality or another mixed team event.

Off topic, but I'd be extremely interested in a "mind sport" Olympics, featuring esports and games like Chess and Go.

You mean like the World Mind Games :d

 

SportAccord used to hold those. The last edition in 2014. SportAccord then had all those problems, and eventually became the GAISF. The GAISF is trying to revive the World Combat Games, so maybe they’ll think about restarting the World Mind Games soon.

Mixed team event like Sudhirman Cup most probably 

Else debut of 3*3 badminton mixed team or Team Doubles with substitution 2+2subs or Ball badminton Mixed Team or Mixed Doubles Shuttlecock event where China is one of the leading nations in worlds with Only Vietnam able to challenge and is played on same court size with a plastic shuttlecock used ( no racquets) with legs.

The e-sports titles have been announced:

 

  • Arena of Valor
  • Dota 2
  • Dream Three Kingdom 2
  • FIFA
  • HearthStone
  • League of Legends
  • PUGB Mobile
  • Street Fighter V

 

Lets put them in tiers:

 

Is actually a serious competitive game worth taking seriously

  • Dota 2
  • League of Legends
  • Street Fighter V

 

Has a serious competitive scene, but is heavily dependent on luck

  • FIFA
  • HearthStone

 

Why?

  • Arena of Valor
  • Dream Three Kingdom 2
  • PUBG Mobile

 

This is not the worst lineup possible, but it has some baffling omissions and some baffling inclusions.

    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
