This guy probably just broke :TUV forever :(. So many tourists are going to go there now, and ruin the Tuvaluan's lives :(. I love stories of people being the only tourists in places, and honestly I wish I could afford to go on trips like this on a regular basis.

Tourists bring money, and in the end, every group of people likes that :p 

 

I don't think there's going to be a huge amount of tourists though, no worries.

 

Last, but definitely not least: everyone who hadn't even heard of Tuvalu really needs to watch more sports or get some more general knowledge. Come on, next thing you know people don't even know Nauru or Bhutan.

Moreover, if Tuvalu doesn't want a large number of tourists, don't give too many visas.

I don’t think they’re in charge of that. I think they’re in free association with New Zealand or Australia (and I could be wrong), but what that means is that either of those countries would be responsible for they’re foreign policy.

Nope. Schengen Area countries are those who are allowed to visit Tuvalu without visa, even Australia or NZ citizens need visa to go there

What I was saying is that they could be in free association with NZ or AUS, meaning that one of those two countries controls immigration. Tuvalu might have requested that Australians and Kiwis use visa for travel, to make sure there weren’t more tourists than the island could handle.

    • Ooooooh the group of Canada , they play in Toronto then Vancouver ...look at the distance   
    • now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)   the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in  Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)   the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in  Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in  Granada in April (5th through 13th)   300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in  Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in  Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
    • Rare thing not to see Hancock winning gold. 
    • USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators 
    • so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
