The IOC are risking 2028 over the boxing issue. Increasing the risk a Trump Goverment would cancel the games and organise they own event without the IOC being involved. 
 

 

No, there is too much $$$$ involved (which Trump is not averse too) plus there are plenty of opportunities for "America is the greatest country in the history of the world" type chest thumping with the US hosting the Olympics.

With this boxing issue the boxing will either be sacrificed or the IOC is pressured into not accepting DSD athletes like these two.

Sponsor pressure and broadcaster pressure ($) will do the trick.

After the Bud Lite scandal no American corporation wants another trans/gender controversy (particularly with Ron DiSantis et al breathing down their necks)

The same for any kind of opening ceremony controversy: there's no thing advertiser/sponsor pressure cannot solve.

More interesting is what happens with the WADA dispute and the issue of Chinese athletes accused of doping.

Considering that China is not exactly the most popular country in the US (irrespective of political party)

I can images Trp writing on Twitter or truth whatever: "Our heroic swimmers need to compete against Chinese drug cheats and the pro-China WADA does nothing. VERY BAD!!!"

Now that swimming heats are all done, these should be the new time standards for 2028. These are the faster of the 14th place finisher in the 2024 Olympic heats or the current qualification time for the 2024 Olympics. The good news about a slower pool is that the standards didn't change that much between the two Olympics.

 

Event Men Women
50m Freestyle 21.91 24.69
100m Freestyle 48.34* 53.61*
200m Freestyle 1:46.26* 1:57.26*
400m Freestyle 3:46.78* 4:07.90*
800m Freestyle 7:48.90 8:26.71*
1500m Freestyle 15:00.99* 16:09.09*
100m Backstroke 53.68 59.99*
200m Backstroke 1:57.50* 2:10.30
100m Breaststroke 59.49* 1:06.69
200m Breaststroke 2:09.68* 2:23.91*
100m Butterfly 51.58 57.82
200m Butterfly 1:55.78* 2:08.43*
200m Individual Medley 1:57.94* 2:11.47*
400m Individual Medley 4:12.50* 4:38.53*

However, if there's another big cut in quotas, there's a chance that World Aquatics will make the standards harder perhaps taking the time of the 12th place finisher in heats. If that were the case, then these would be the time standards:

 

Event Men Women
50m Freestyle 21.89 24.64
100m Freestyle 48.34* 53.61*
200m Freestyle 1:46.26* 1:57.26*
400m Freestyle 3:46.76 4:07.90*
800m Freestyle 7:47.91 8:26.71*
1500m Freestyle 14:55.61 16:09.09*
100m Backstroke 53.45 59.99*
200m Backstroke 1:57.50* 2:10.09
100m Breaststroke 59.49* 1:06.38
200m Breaststroke 2:09.68* 2:23.91*
100m Butterfly 51.43 57.57
200m Butterfly 1:55.78* 2:08.43*
200m Individual Medley 1:57.94* 2:11.47*
400m Individual Medley 4:12.50* 4:38.53*

 

* No change

If they moved equestrian to Temecula, why is tennis still in carson?? Indian wells is one of the biggest tennis stadiums in the world. Granted it's going to be hotter then hell there but Temecula is not far away from there

 

Yes, tennis tournament will be held in Carson which used to host WTA tournament until 2009. Indian Wells is very hot in March already (their traditional ATP & WTA date) and it would be a scorcher in July & August. Plus wind is usually a factor in Indian Wells too :evil:

    • In China google is prohibited , any kid can create a search website 
    • HA, shitty food indeed, however we bring something to the world that no arab countries do, Every big tech company working with israeli inventions, google israeli tech and medicine inventions, you'll be surprised, better put your phone down because both Apple and Google invest in israel
    • Gonna call your terrorist friends? Watch out for your pager!   We only killed when trying to get to Hammas that are hiding in civilian population, in Mosques, under hospitals, inside kitchens. The arab world is the one always trying to get into a fight, but every time they start something we knock them out and they start crying to the world, it's no longer working, we simply don't care. in 1948 we were attacked, we won, in 1967 we were attacked we won (while winning the Golan Heights and Sinai which we gave back 7 years later) and in October 7th your buddies decided to fuck around, so now they found out that we are not to be messed with, Iran is jumping now that Nasrallah's death will be avenged, well, i'm looking forward to that
    • They did all that with money of Mcdonalds/starbucks/coa cola ...shty food 
    • and do not quote my comments again 
    • They kill Palestinians all the time during the year from 1948 , steal their houses and richness , torture innocents in jail including kids , they created terrorism to destroy the area ...etc ..etc and they will stop til they kill everyone in this planet according to this telmoud  now world understand what Adolf did       
    • No, it's not, because the other side are openly calling for extermination of Israel and jews, while, if given a chance we would love the whole region to be together and work together, on trade and other things   What do you think the ABRAHAM ACCORDS are? attempt to normalize the region, and if not for October 7th (or biden's election), then Saudi Arabia would've been a part of it. so 100000% Hammas and Hizballah are the bad guys , and even suggesting that Israel are not really shows that you don't understand the region and not truly know what's happening there, and rather parroting what you hear from the media or see on social media.   And if you think that it's a Netanyahu thing, it's not, not even close, the Israeli elected officials support it. Up until 2 months ago, the leader of the opposition Benny Ganz was in a unity government, Leaders of the left like Yair Lapid support the current work in Lebanon.    
    • "We"     But yeah, just saying "oh its war, we are the good guys, just defending ourselves" isn't different to what the 'other side' says. Very plain, very simple: both Netanyahu and his cronies and the terrorists of Hamas, Hezbollah and so on have insane amounts of blood on their hands. They can try to wash it by saying "but the other guys are worse!", but that doesn't work.   Oh well, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I did, I'd be happy knowing where these 'leaders' will end up, all in the same place.
    • What we did was a payback, we don't have a drop of blood on our hands, they started something October 7th, they thought the pressure from the world and USA will deter us, but it's not going to, we simply don't give a fuck anymore. The blood is on the hands of Hammas, Hizballah, Iran, Qatar and other terror enablers like our terrorist friend over here. This is WAR, and innocent people die in war. Unlike other wars the ratio of terrorists to civillians is much better then any other war.   The amazing pager operation was an example of how we target the terrorists specifically.   It's very easy for Hammas and Hizballah to stop the war in about 10 minutes, give up arms, release hostages and we will stop before the beginning of the hour, but they won't do that. So they will get everything that is coming to them.
