That works...for two seconds, then it changes to a notifcation saying you have no permission :p

 

Anyone else who gets the same? I'm trying to get a page with just the results system, so there's no part of the screen used up by the World Games website itself.

Yeah, I tried the same thing and got the same result. I'll probably just use the results system "as is" on the IWGA's website.

With the World Games about to start, here's my tier lists of the sports/disciplines most deserving to be included at the Olympics. This was constructed using the following criteria: Number of active nations participating, cost to host, and uniqueness. There is no order within tiers.

 

S Tier

Karate

A Tier

Billiards

Dancesport

Orienteering

Roller sports (Road speed skating)

Squash

B Tier

Archery (Compound)

Boules (Petanque)

Gymnastics (Acrobatic)

Gymnastics (Aerobic)

Gymnastics (Trampoline)

Lifesaving

Roller sports (Track speed skating)

Sport Climbing (Speed Lane)

Triathlon (Duathlon)

Waterskiing (Wakeboarding)

C Tier

Air Sports (Drone Racing)

Archery (Field)

Boules (Lyonnaise)

Floorball

Flying disc (Disc golf)

Flying disc (Ultimate)

Gymnastics (Parkour)

Handball (Beach)

Ju-jitsu

Kickboxing

Korfball (Indoor)

Muaythai

Powerboating

Racquetball

Roller sports (Freestyle inline skating)

Roller sports (Inline hockey)

Sambo

Softball

Tug of War

Underwater sports

Wushu

D Tier

American Football (Flag football)

Canoeing (Canoe marathon)

Canoeing (Canoe polo)

Canoeing (Dragon boat)

Cheerleading

Fistball

Korfball (Beach)

Lacrosse (Sixes)

Powerlifting (Classic)

Powerlifting (Equipped)

 

- Karate was easily the top tier sport, it is widely practiced with an excellent world distribution and can be held at a generic indoor venue. It did lose a bit in uniqueness as it competes with the already included combat sports.

- Dancesport checked enough boxes to be considered A tier. I know people are still having nightmares about Breaking, but if Latin and Standard were also included the sport may have stuck around.

- I was surprised to see Billiards rank so high, but it would be a very relatively cheap, unique sport to host. It currently has enough nations competing, but would probably like more.

- Disciplines of sports which are included in the Olympics obviously took a uniqueness penalty which have cost most of them a tier

- Softball in C Tier may surprise some people, but the sport being very expensive to host and the men's world distribution being a lot lower than men's baseball pushed it down.

With temporary venues, the cost of hosting a specific sport shouldn't rank too high (and in an ideal world souldn't matter at all). I think the 'sportability' of each discipline should count also.
 

Except for the obious Squash and Karate, it's hard to see any of these sports making the permanent jump to the Olympics tbh.

Too be fair, most of the sports at the World Games don't cost much to host. The only sports which scored low were track speed skating and softball. The only other costly venues were swimming pools which would use existing Olympic venues.

If you factor the overall cost of the olympics, it's really nothing. No one is going anymore to build a permanent 20,000 seaters softball stadium when there is not a single softball team in the country.

I'm pretty sure it's not complete and only includes events that are visible via streaming.

That would be a tremendous help though, that takes away the annoying part of seeing an event in the timetable, thinking "cool, gonna watch that", only to realize that one isn't being streamed anywhere.

And what events aren't being streamed?  Looks like a pretty big list to me.  Things like archery prelims which have never been shown on TV in the entire history of mankind?  

 

Only way they can mess it up is if they replace the current graphics with "Sweden 5 Norway 4 on Golden Point" after the match takes place.......:pope:

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
