But Raisport vs Rai Uno/Rai Due, it`s a different things. On Raisport are broadcasts many niche sports that don't make it onto terrestrial TV (although of course now, in the age of the Internet, terrestrial television is no longer as important as it was 20-30 years ago).

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about. RaiSport is the fourth (sometimes third...) most watched channel on RAI, and it's on television.

So, why was our match against Spain doesn`t count, while the one against the Czech Republic does? Given that it's the same stage of the tournament?

because Spain won't play the medal round, while the Czechs will

I'm surprised that this sport is so popular there that it's broadcast on public television (even assuming they're hosting the European Championships). It's a big think in Italy when they show the women's volleyball World Championship final on Rai Uno or the women's Eurobasket medal matches on Rai Due. In Italy public tv may have showed softball during the Olympics, but probably in a short fragment a few minutes, am I right?

Czechia has really developed a good environment for baseball and softball in the last few years, they got some media attention and playing the last World Baseball Classic brought a true baseball-mania in the Country

they have a very good youth system, with a lot of kids playing and some of their best players starting to go to the USA to improve and make the NT stronger and stronger

 

on the other hand, Italy has a great tradition and used to have a lot of people going to stadium and some decent media coverage (also late night or afternoon slots on rai3, even some live coverage on raisport when the channel was opened) in the past, interest that's slowing down moe and more with time

it remains only the small but very passionate group of fans that regularly follow the MLB -and some other international leagues and tournaments- and sky Italia with its little coverage of MLB/WBC and the world/european tournaments played in Italy in the recent years -baseball Europeans 4 years ago and softball euro and world champs in the past 2 years

 

technically, :ITA and :NED always benefit from the Caribbean colonies (:NED) and all the foreign born Italians (central and south america rather than north america), but, like for Hockey, it's more and more difficult to recruit someone to play for us because we are no longer economically competitive

that's why those 2 Countries always dominated the game in Europe, but now Germany, Czechia and Spain are developing their national leagues and starting growing the base of guys practicing the sport seriously (and GBR also has a decenty base of girls playing softball in the US colleges, so they also became more competitive recently, especially since they found a great pitcher, which is the most important thing in baseball and even more in softball), which means that it will be more and more difficult to extend this domination and actually this is good for the sport

2-0 for Italy but I see only on live-ticker.

I posted the link earlier...you don't even need a vpn to watch

 

correction, at that link you need a vpn

 

meanwhile using the iVysilani app on android tv, the vpn is not necessary (actually, you have to avoid it to make it work)

Ok, so why is it so important that they show the World Championship final on Sunday on Rai Uno? Many people tweeted that this is important for women's volleyball in Italy.

RaiUno is obviously the main showcase, but only football and, occasionally, women's volleyball are shown there. Not even the Olympics are shown on RaiUno...

because you can't have 4.2 million people watching raisport+ like on rai1 with the rigged system we have in place

 

and volleyball in the no.2 sport in Italy and has earned itself the privilege to be shown on the main National TV channel

 

other sports, have to be satisfied with minor TV channels because they don't move the same amount of people nor sponsorships

 

it's as simple as that...I don't think we need a scientist to understand why some choices are taken that way

Unfortunately, Luchetta and this second man are weak and are clowning too much in vision... Secondly, that success was unexpected and with the girls all of experts, journalists etc. has saying for several months that they had a sure gold medal.

    • 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.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
    • And this with relatively small fields, so lots of nations with no skin in the game.
