German media is reporting that there is a rumor of skeleton, bobsleigh and luge being dropped from the program.   Insane!!   https://www.sportandpolitics.de/streicht-das-ioc-bob-ro

It sounds just wrong. Winter sport is snow and ice.   If considering reducing Summer Games™ there is another solution: we have Summer Games™, we have Winter Games™, all we need are just Autu

One of those things that make me think "I don't see why it'd be needed, but if it's there, I'd definitely enjoy it" :p

Summer Olympics, hell yeah I’m all for it! :d

 

Winter Olympics, absolutely not. :facepalm::hairpull::bones:
 

Cross-country running events are held in the winter, but that doesn’t make it a winter sport, sorry. There is one caveat though if it were to, let’s say get added to to the Olympic program hypothetically, because it would weaken the strength of distance fields drastically due to scheduling. 

 

Edit: None of this is directed at you, just the idiots (like Coe) that think this (putting a summer sport in the winter Olympics, not cross country running at the Olympics) is a good idea…

My fear is that every sports/disciplines not on the program will see it as a way in, and we end up with the World Games + Ski&Ice

To be fair, cross-country running also isn't a summer sport. Like cyclo-cross, it's basically a season-independent sport, almost by definition it can be done in any and all conditions.

 

I don't think I'd go for it in the end, like @De_Gambassi said, it'd open up the way for lots and lots more and not sure that'd be a great idea.

I feel like I'm going crazy when I read these stories. Isn't it obvious and common sense that the point of the winter games is for things on snow and ice, looking at what is already on the programme and has been throughout history? It might be done in winter similarly to how we sometimes here describe rugby as a 'winter sport' but that's a whole different meaning to the phrase winter sport than the one we use for the Winter Olympics. I don't even think it needs explaining it's that obvious.

 

It's all about a new part of the world to have a shot at something.

Hi, idiot here, cross country running and cyclo cross should ABSOLUTELY be in the winter games but the same 20 odd countries are afraid of opening up their games to outsiders 

 

They have their rule about games being needed to be played on snow and ice but IMO that’s a far more ridiculous idea than allowing cross country running in.

Just create a sub-event and call it "snow cross-country" if that is all it will take for it to be permissible at the Winter Olympics. :p

      In the end, Team Shuster did pull out the W for the Men in the Finals.  His opponent, Team Stopera, is the one that Korey Dropkin led before exiting to compete in XD for MiCo.   And for the Women, Team (Delaney) Strouse won, taking out Team Cousins (who was the #1 seed).  I don't know much about her or her team.  Per Wikipedia, in 2022, she won Bronze in the World Juniors.  Will see both these teams at Worlds later this month!    Let's go  !   Here's a pic from the Strouse/Cousins Page Final 1v2 game:   A couple of other pics from last night:   (Tonight, Chris Plys joined the other two in having sleeveless jerseys.)   A zoomed-out pic of the coliseum where we were.  Fairly low attended, just about 200 people maybe.  (Same for tonight's final.)

      Tentoglou won the men's long jump with 8.22. He only had two valid jumps today.   Another U20NR came in the women's shot put from Maria Rafailidou. She had 16.53 earlier this week and now got 16.59. She's second in the world for U20 this year    So of course Karalis was the big star of our nationals this year, more than Tentoglou, but we also had a lot of teenagers show good signs for the future (Antonatou, Alivizatos, Mitropoulou, Iakovaki, Rafailidou etc).   Antonatou and Alivizatos are both from Kefalonia island. Antonatou's brother is a shot putter who is 19 yo and had a new PB yesterday of 17.92 in the NCAA. I don't remember us ever having any strong athletes from Kefalonia in any sport aside from the late Anna Pollatou who won an Olympic bronze in rhythmic gymnastics. What are they feeding these kids on this island (it only has about 35.000 residents)?! Very impressive.
