Yeah, I don't wish a fail. If I don't attend the equestrian events at Versailles then I'm probably never going to attend the Olympics. :p

 

please, don't wait for the Olympics to visit Versailles...just go there and enjoy that wonderful place as soon as you can...you won't never regret spending a long weekend out there (even without a sport event surrounding your trip, actually, it would be better if you're free to live the experience without any further "distraction")...;)

no, not at all...

 

 

I agree to some extent. But eventually, we, the olympic fans, are going to disappear. Any brand need new customers to thrive.

 

So are the Olympics doomed one way ot the other ?

wow VERY disappointing, :cry: I hope one day they learn they can't FORCE "youth" to enjoy the Olympics. this is just not for everybody. the Olympics will have its fans unless they ruin it like this.

 

this is a terrible news for Karate athletes. I mean these sports are amateur. Olympic can make a huge huge difference for them. imagine you are a 20 years old Karate athlete probably was planning for the next olympics. this is why I hate adding sports just for one edition.

 

moreover, I just can't imagine what's gonna happen now with the qualification first and the actual competion of Tokyo 2020 then...

 

I mean, now everybody knows this is going to be just a one shot, one-hit wonder...and I fear that many bad things are gonna happen behind the scenes to ensure a spot first and a medal then, with no chance to make up for anything getting missed on this only Olympic appearance of the sport...:(:mumble::facepalm::wall:

you know, I think that  certain things can't and shouldn't be changed...

 

such long time existing events like the Olympics must follow the flow they've always been following...

 

they're made of and for a certain kind of people, of and for a certain kind of audience and they should exist only if and until those people are there to justify their existence...

 

meanwhile if you want to look for something else, just build some new events tailored on the "new" audience you're "stalking"...new places, new disciplines, new rules new targeted markets and people around...that's the only way to capture all the attention and have success...

 

it's not a house you can renovate and rejuvenate with only a few partial works...here it's about an ancient monument that has to be preserved as much as close as the original building on one side and a completely new complexe that should be built from the foundings to the roof with all new stuff on the other side (and then, just then find the way for both to co-exist in the same environment)...

 

there's no way you can have all the modern technology if you live in a 16th Century Castle...gotta build a new house and let the old place to those who are still OK with the old habits...

You know what? As silly as breakdancing is at least it’s a physically challenging and unique exercise. It’s not what anyone wanted, but it’s not e-sports. It’s not an affront to sport as a whole. I mean artistic events were even held in the Olympics before, and it’s not that unlike, say, gymnastics. And it’s not a permanent event either. Having rotating ‘innovative’ events while maintaining the 25+ core disciplines (let’s not forget, these new sports are a tiny FRACTION) is a good balance to have, I think.

Save the innovations for the World Games, period. How can you even judge breakdancing? I have no idea. Gymnastics have a code for every move and they're often repeated anyway. If breakdancing goes Olympics I'm not watching this crap for like 2 seconds even if you paid me to do it.

I agree, and I won’t watch it either. But- The point is to keep things in perspective. It’s not permanent, it’s not e-sports, no existing sports were removed, and new sports are a tiny fraction. Could have been a lot worse. Everything we love about the Olympics will still be there.

What even is "new audiences" for you? I don't think kids care or think much about fiscal policy.

Late teenagers or people in their 20's. The real 'kids' probably just want to see stuff they do themselves and I never see anybody breakdancing here. Also, skateboards were cool 15 or 20 years ago :p Now it's video games or, heavens forbid, watching videos of people playing video games.

Honestly, I doubt that. I think since forever youth has been 'against' the established stuff like rules and burocracy, but here we are, enjoying it :p

ehm... don't think teenagers or people in their 20s care too much either. Also younger people tend to be "leftist" anyway.

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
