United States National Thread

Hello there fellow Americans, I’m new here and I’m just wondering around getting a feel of things. What can we talk about on the National threads?

Hello and welcome to Totallympics!

 

National Threads are threads used to gather users from the same nation (while the rest of the forum is international) to talk about all sports in a single thread. They were started so that users can write in their national language, but in your case the language will be the same of the rest of the forum :p

 

Also, National Threads are being replaced by clubs, which allow to have a complete sub-forum, with different sections and threads, instead of a single thread.

 

You can see an example of a recently launched club here for German users: https://totallympics.com/clubs/20-team-d/

 

I think that now that the :USA community on Totallympics is getting bigger we can create the US club where you can talk about US sports, athletes, Olympic qualifications etc. What do you think?

 

Also tagging @Olympian1010 @AlexDSSF @American1998 @Americaneagle@bmo @Bob Gambardella @Catdog @Csapo@davidpeterson @dcmdtruefan@dezbee2008 @esube @Games and Rings @jake33 @James65@Jason@Jax@John Foyne@nickp1991@Maxim Fastovsky@mhbj11@talyn530@wpwells@Triplecast  @04444thenagain@ACratone@Ben Wheeler@Anthony@Eddie@hickeykt@Hector Lopez@lookAlive24@lotsip@msu42@Nobody@OlymFan74@owenp_23@PandaCat@Susannah@pjwasz@Quaker2001@Rdbc@RP Gambardella@RobtheAggie@TheMeem@Sarah@Tophwilliams

 

It would be nice to have some of these users back on the forum to follow the qualifications to Paris 2024 and all other events, and creating a club could be a good occasion to be back here :yes

 

For the club, we would need a user who would like to be the "owner" of the club so if someone is interested please let me know so I can help you to set it up (it is really easy, you will basically just decide which sections to have, the logo etc.)

The national threads are mostly dead in favor of individual clubs. We could discuss starting a club for US users @NearPup @owenp_23 @dezbee2008 (and the others that don’t immediately come to mind).

 

Maybe some sort of “USA and Friends Club,” so we can support Team USA and the overseas autonomous NOCs :ASA:GUM:ISV:PUR

That all sounds great. Who gets to start the clubs? Would I be able to do it myself?

 

I’m working on setting it up now. @Sindo needs to approve it though (and maybe help with the formatting).

The club has been set up by @Olympian1010: https://totallympics.com/clubs/22-team-usa-and-friends/

 

I have invited all :USA users, hopefully some of you will come back on the forum and some more will join in the future! @Olympian1010 will be the admin but I'm sure if any other users has some idea on how to improve the club, will be free to do so.

 

Enjoy it!

    • Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time. 
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit. 
    • Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
