Of course I forgot the Australian swimmers 😂. Or is it because of Australian water that they are so good😉 -
Nothing new, all known. I do believe that Germany is now one of the cleaner nations in sports, which doesn’t mean there is no doping in Germany. As a consequence you can observe their drop in medal tables at Olympics. While other nations emerge as Netherlands , Italy, Norway etc. not to mention China, US, UK, France etc. let’s be realistic and say there is a limited number of athletes competing at top level without help. Those are the exceptionally talented ones. Or do we believe the US, Chinese , French, Dutch athletes are so much more talented than the others and do much better training methods? And apologies mentioning only those countries, but as said probably many athletes at top level use some help incl my home country, but I guess it’s more spread in „rich“ countries or where you have state sponsored doping (Russia, probably China, to some extent US, etc)

Yeah, the first post is reserved anyway, we currently have the logo for "Discussion Thread". We can change it pointing to a link to the Qualification Tracker, where all the olympic qualification information will be stored. -
One suggestion. Reserve the first post for qualification details. PDF/Overview/Important dates, whatever format everyone agrees on. Personally, I see this change as a positive, as it reduces the clutter and athletes/fans anyway think more on the line of 4 year Olympic cycle rather than year. -
Looks like it wasn't only East Germany doping their athletes. https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/crlrn9re3z5o -

Discussion Threads are moving from an annual cycle to a quadriennium cycle, and being merged with the Olympic Qualification Thread for the following Olympic Games. Example: Alpine Skiing Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina 2026 You might see the downside of this so I anticipate the benefits of it - There will be no need to open discussion threads every new year, but just every 4; - In the past we had some discussion threads very active and some with very few replies. Having also the general Olympic qualification discussion in the thread will guarantee each thread to be active during the Olympic quadriennium; - We will still have separate threads for single Olympic qualification events, so these threads are only for general discussion related or unrelated to Olympic qualifications; - In the past, we had to move lots of posts between Discussion Threads and Olympic qualification threads. This now will not be necessary anymore because there is a single thread for both.

OK this is getting weird but do you honestly believe those figures? Do you actually believe that the Winter Olympics is popular in countries that don’t have snow at winter? (At the same time as the IOC claims they need to include the likes of breakdancing to make the summer games more appealing) If you do, then fair enough -

Wrong (again). Estimated viewership for Beijing 2022 was 2 billion, while for Tokyo it was 3 billion, which isn't a considerable difference for "only 30 countries care for the Winter Olympics." Add the February slot when everyone is at work and all the football leagues are in full force, compared to July/August vacations and the numbers are even more impressive for an event, which allegedly few people care about. -
At the end of the day who knows what the situation will be like in 4 years time, there could be a new sprint star that is neither him or Lavreysen for all we know. The Australian team sprint squad was on a downward trend anyway because Glaetzer is clearly past his best which was easily seen at these games. GB cycling obviously saw the medals he won, his talent and birth country, got into contact with him and gave him a more lucrative deal. Track cycling is a bigger/more important sport there and their cyclists get more funding. Because if it was always his ‘dream’ why didn’t he make the move earlier on? He has been competing since 2019 And also can they please take Raygun aswell? I beg
