Definition of winter sports: sports performed on snow or ice.

How can a journalist who has covered seven Olympic Games write "and then there’s basketball. Professional basketball is also a winter sport. But it’s part of the summer Olympics"  ?:facepalm:

 

 

Exactly. Who cares about the conventions of professional level sports? "Normal" people play basketball/football/running on summer, hockey/skiing/ice skating on winter. Let's keep it at that.

 

Luckily, this seems to be only some ridiculous blog or whatever.

Classic article from north american journalist that thinks the world revolves around NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB...

Lets move some different sports arbitrarily from Summer to Winter Olympics to make space for Ice Hockey in Summer Olympics. Who cares if these sports have well defined calendars which takes into account Olympics. Important thing is NHL fans should be able to enjoy NHL for 10 months and have a good chance of medal in Olympics.

Why on earth would normal people play an indoor sport like basketball in summer? :d (indoor in the professional level) 

 

Well, I don't care because I wouldn't play it anyway, but when thinking about playing basketball I think about playing indoor and that would fit in a winter schedule :p

You are saying that most children play basketball indoors in their free time? No way Jose. :p

 

Winter is too cold for such activities.

I have no idea where children play basketball in other parts of the world :p 

 

I know here at school for example we'd play stuff like basketball and other indoor activities during the winter, whereas in summer we'd be out on the field doing, well, stuff on the field :d

Italian Emma Morano has died aged 117 years and 137 days, being the 5th oldest person ever to have lived as far as documented records go. She was the last known person alive who was born in 18xx :(

 

Jamaican Violet Brown is now the oldest person alive, 117 years and 36 days.

    • It's an interesting question, Norway is certainly expanding their efforts into a number of new sports. So, that cannot help but to peal off a few more natural athletes. I know their training methods are kinda rocking the world in a number of summer endurance sports.  I can't really speak to they dynamics of their development program. Their men's nordic programs largely always seem to be ridiculously deep, overwhelmingly so the last decade or so. 
    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster
    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?
    • In the 60's I think it was USSR, Norway, Finland, Sweden... DDR came to prominence in the 70's into the 80's, when they were running on the premium gas

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
