I assume we won't participate in shotgun and running target events. that number will cover all rifle/pistol events, right ? (except 25m rapid fire which doesn't exist here)

 

in rowing we mostly rely on the women's team. but still 2+6 looks too low :dunno:   it's not like our NOC has a clear plan and analyzed all athletes one by one to give a calculated number. they just threw these numbers at each federation and told them to fit their teams into it. :facepalm:

 

as someone who knows our strength in all sports I could make a much better delegation with something like 300 athletes. I really don't think those so called "experts" in the NOC have any idea about most of these sports. what the hell we can do with two male rowers ? send a double sculls team ? lightweight 2X ? I'm sure they have no idea how it works in rowing.

 

the current NOC president used to be in charge of our Paralympics program for years. I know how he thinks. he cares about " medal per athlete" rate. and wants to keep it high. :wall:  

 

I believe we are sending all of our gold medal chances, but keeping some of our small medal chances (mostly silver and bronze) at home. :mad: and yes with this mentality we will always remain weak in our weak sports.

You have to have (2+2)*3 to cover  full teams  in rifle / pistol in each gender ....so you are surely missing out in your key events in shooting ....

Not at all. Maximum shooters allowed is 5 each in rifle in men and women. Pistol has no such rule. Iran may have the 6-7 rifle shooters and rest pistol 6-7 most of whom may be there in 2 events and as 25RFP doesn't exist easy for selection in men's pistol and 1-2 shotgun

But doesn't cover all events in women properly . India is taking 10 in women so Iran taking 8 means they are not taking a full team in women at least ....

It does. We have 25m/50m and 10m specialist. Iran has the same athlethes in both + few specialist. 

If it was exact same then 6 would be enough. 

 

6 per gender are enough to participate in all rifle pistol events including team. They have 8 so few specialist too.

yeah as @Fly_like_a_don said we don't have specialists as you do. somehow in rifle maybe but not at all in pistol events. they will try to send the best 3 in each event but I assume it's mostly the same shooters.

 

I won't be surprised even if they make room for one male shooter in trap. 

 

also I have to say there was a * next to shooting. it's possible to adjust the numbers after the World Championships in Azerbaijan. 8+8 is their original estimate

Has 🇮🇷 announced their football squad for the asian games ? Will they be taking 3 over aged players?

not yet, but I'm 99% sure the answer is no, Iran also didn't use overaged players in 2014 and 2018

 

it will be the U22 team preparing for the next year AFC U23 Champs (Olympic qualifier) and even that team will have a hard time with the clubs to release players in middle of the season

Yeah, artistic skating had some rather low entry numbers in 2010. There doesn’t seem to be much interest in the discipline at regional level (Pan Ams just finding enough entries to fill the quotas).

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
