gotta be honest...I know Speedskating already is a core discipline at the Winter Olympics, but I think also the Inline Speedskating should become Olympic (in Summer) and replace the Street events

 

World Skate should make something about it!

The IOC won't allowed it. The IOC already scammed World Skate by convincing them to be the world federation for skateboarding by saying maybe they will add some roller sports along with it only to deny everything else proposed.

why that's surprising ? :d we are supposed to be only good in fighting sports ? :lol: one guy/girl probably started something and the rest followed. that's how a sport develops everywhere, right? almost all of these guys are from the same town (Isfahan) that probably explains it.

 

lots of kids play/train different disciplines of skating here. (I mean for fun) unfortunately we have a very lousy skating federation which never capitalizes on this potential. only this discipline has some success. still no popularity for the so-called urban and youthful Olympic discipline of skateboarding. :d

 

speed slalom was in 2022 Asian Games program, therefore some of these guys had a chance to be on TV for couple of days and the new world champion Taraneh Ahmadi is a little bit famous for winning a silver medal there. (first even Asian Games roller sports medal for Iran) 

it's surprising because I only follow this sport at the World Skate Games and I never heard of :IRI being such kind of powerhouse :d

 

well, you know that I know that you're good not only in combat sports ;) but I didn't know about this one :dunno: :p

I think they (or the generation before them) also won few medals in previous World Skate Games (maybe in 2019 ?) in this discipline. 

 

they usually battle with Taiwanese girls/boys for the title in world and asian competitions. this time they won but it's usually a very narrow margin. and they lost it when it mattered the most in Hangzhou Asian Games. that was their only chance to make a name for themselves.

To be completely fair, a lot of the big names aren’t competing (like in the men’s event) as they have chosen to rest after the Olympics… 

Every single Olympic medalist from 2020 and 2024 competed in this final.

Surely there’s names missing though, like Covell? I can think of a bunch in the men’s event at least.

Yes, but definitely not "a lot of".

Anyway, the rules are completely broken for allowing 7 girls from one single country to qualify for a final. If they keep doing this, this sport will become unwatchable.

    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)
