Well, I'm afraid we cannot ignore the more and more coming news about ideas of introducing the e-sport into programme of the Olympics (maybe even in 2024). I'm interested in your opinion.

I would actually really like the IOC to organize some sort of mind sport Olympics specifically for things like chess, go and e sports. Would need to work on the branding, but you could also include a

Well, we can call they "sport"?

Shooters also need strength - do you know what recoil is? And shotgun shooters have to have more reflex and concentration, as they are shooting to the moving target.

btw, the ioc is the one to blame here. They opened the door for this shit when they recognised billard as a proper sport (at the end of the 90's IIRC).

 

IOC should simply arbitrary state that no sport that recquires little to no athletics abilities should be part of the olympic program (juste like they do with motor sports). Period. Shooting beeing a kind of historical abnormality.

No.

 

For the simple reason that games are made and owned by companies.

That's the main reason why I'd vote no, indeed.

Of course no... I don't understand what IOC trying to reach by slowly destroying Olympics with new/trendy/progressive (and other nonsense words they used) events and sports

(although I don't want to call video games as a sport) introduced to the games. Pus - again this would decrease the number of athletes per traditional sports ... Or maybe let's just cancel the games completely and IOC will be live streaming players from around the world playing Olympics simulator on Twitch....

Hahaha :d yeah I actually want to reply on point but then I had to leave my tablet for a bit and when I return I did not notice this is not volleyball thread  :wall:

 

So on point nów :d I don't think they should allow e-sport at the OG Simply because tbh the definition of sport - for me is physical challenge. What next - Poker? Blackjack? Russian Roulette?

      Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid

      Doping Cases and Bans in 2025

      By bestmen · Posted

      From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
