FIL is going to ask IOC to put in into the Olympic program some new disciplines already from Beijing 2022...

Women's Doubles, Sprint Races for Men and Women in both Singles and Doubles will be proposed in Artificial Track Luge, meanwhile Men's and Women's Singles and Mixed Doubles will be proposed in Natural Track Luge...

Frankly, I'm not so interested in new Artificial Track events at the Olympics, but I really like the idea of all the credits Natural Track Luge has with the IOC being finally recognized...

well, this is just FIL proposing for the new events...

 

it remains to be seen if the IOC agrees to give them some more space in the Olympic program...

 

Natural Track Luge was already almost sure to become Olympic before Torino 2006, but at the last moment the IOC slammed the door on our face...I wouldn't like to live another disappointing experience like that...

 

so, as the legenday Giovanni Trapattoni ("il Trap") says: "Non dire gatto, se non ce l'hai nel sacco!" :lol: :roflmao:  :rofl:

No, just no to those sprint events! :spank:

 

Go away!

 

And women's doubles?! For fuck's sake FIL, 2022 is only FOUR years from now! Women's doubles is not even remotely a 'thing' now, if they want it at the Olympics, they really need to start developing it right now and maybe, just maybe, think about adding it to the Olympics in 2030 or something...this is one of the worst winter sports ideas ever, I'm a bigger fan of X-Games events at the Olympics (which I don't like), than women's doubles (at this moment) or all those sprint events.. 

 

Natural track would be cool though.

Armin Zoggeler was elected FIL vice-president for technical reason :clap::clap:

Josef Fendt will continue his kingdom and he was elected for the 7th time FIL president (he is in charge since 1997!!)

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
