only when I'm asked to. :d I'm not doing that just for the sake of it.

 

actually I did that once for "sports-reference" few years ago but I think they fixed only half of them.

I also have a little correction, I wasn't sure where to send it.

 

The country page for the Netherlands (where else would I look!) states in the description that Inge de Bruijn is the most decorated athlete, but both Sven Kramer and Ireen Wust have surpassed her. The medal table lower on the page has the correct numbers.

It should be at the feedback menu, but as of now it is still showing '504 Gateway Timeout' whenever you send something

USOPC had a really nice article about Bill and the team as well @Dragon. I didn’t really get the opportunity to read it I’m afraid.

I am puzzled at "Olympijských fanatikov (v pozitívnom slova zmysle)" part. Are there bad Olympic fanatics? :p

@Dragon I’m curious about something. Since you guys went public with Olympedia, have you received any new credible information about athletes, events, venues, or some new interesting facts? I’ve already noticed quite a few people on the forum and on Twitter helping correct names to the local customs, but I was just curious as to if there were any net benefits for going public.

I've not been able to send it via the feedback menu (504 Timeout for 3 days now - probably @Dragon can relay this :p) but basically after "advertising" it in that Facebook group I've mentioned before, two people asked me to correct information of their Olympian parents. One of them is super shocking since the data that has been stored for years is a total mistake (basically they have the same name). Even some recent news used that data and created a confusion.

I had a small chat with J. Gosal's son (Olympian, 1956-1960) who is cleverly named Mel Romeo Gosal based the host cities his father had been to.

 

He revealed to me a big info, only 1 Olympian from 1956 team and (probably) 1 from 1960 team are still alive. J. Gosal himself just passed away last month...

    • That is more a legacy of Rogge’s IOC than Bach’s imo.   Admittedly the disastrous 2022 bidding process happened under Bach, but all the seeds that the IOC was reaping were sowed under Rogge and Samaranch.   Like say what you will about Bach but under Agenda 2020 every Olympic has been awarded to a democracy (  ), and we haven’t had super disastrous decisions like awarding the Winter Olympics to Sochi or awarding the Summer Olympics to an Athens bid that wasn’t going to use any temporary venues.
    • Hosting Olympic Games isn't an honor anymore. The old fashioned bidding contests are dead. Democracies are no longer willing to spend money on the "show" unlike the Middle East gulf moguls plus China. It is what it is. Professional sports is business now and it has to invest money from somewhere to make a profit later. We can mock how NBC dictates the swimming programme with finals in the morning local time but that also falls into "authoritarian" style of organzing these Games. And it will only get worse as the big pockets will only have more influence going forward. There will come a time when Bach won't be viewed as the worst anymore because just when you think it can't get any worse, it can and probably will
    • not sure at 100%, but I think all the individual sports will have 2025 world champs, too   confirmed, I found the bidding page on world skate website https://www.worldskate.org/events/bid.html   Inline and Rink Hockey world champs should be held only every 2 years
    • some things need to be done, but this IOC found the way to do them in a wrong way (not starting a long list of mistakes here)   p.s. I will always repeat that: gender equality does mean that men and women must have the same range of opportunity and the same treatment/respect, not that they must have the exact same number of athletes in all the disciplines (and have exactly the same disciplines) in the Olympic schedule
    • Ah interesting! And you know if they will have some World championship event next years or will it only be again during the next world games?
    • God forbid the Olympics get dragged into the 21st century.   There are a lot of bad changes that the Olympic champion in Fencing has made. But cutting the hosting costs (the IOC just cannot afford another disastrous series of white elephants like Athens 2004 and Sochi 2014 left behind), modernizing the Olympic program and, yes, focussing on gender equality are all reforms that were needed.   How those reforms were made I have a lot of issues with, but I really think you need to have your head in the sand to believe those reforms were optional. If anything it took the IOC too long to prioritize those things.

    • yes, this is the 2024 official world championship
    • From march 2025 , europeans  will enter UK with visa  well done uk , let's isolate europe 
    • no, it's that fuckin' agenda 2020 (and following), that fuckin' gender equality, the fact that they got rid of iconic events (and made some more of them just ridiculous), the senseless mixed events (most of them, at least) and the fact that they filled the schedule with an unacceptable amount of non-sports
