There's a strong rumor that the IOC and the organizing committee would consider the reintroduction of karate if the World Karate Federation changed a few rules, there's hope because they are already t

I'm the only one who thinks this is kind of stupid? Olympic sports should have some sort of a long term plan, no just one appearence and that's all. 2028 Olympics being in LA is going to push for

lol we are going to end up with like 5 entries per event at this rate. More sports in the same quota = less athletes competing per event. Stupid idea.   If you are going to add sports, incre

Ain't gonna spend 5 seconds watching breakdance as Olympic event. Pure bullshit :mad:

 

A fkin disgrace. Real Olympic sports are harassed and got their places diminished constantly, while all kind of corner-street bullshit gets to become Olympic :(

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

I'm not sur what they hope to achieve. But here it is.

 

the entire Karate world is not givin'up...

 

to be honest, there must be something hidden we don't know behind the Paris organizers and karate...:mumble:

otherwise it's just inexplicable why decided not to include that discipline among those in the schedule...I mean, they will make their dubut at the Games in the 2020 edition, it's one of the sports with the most participants (both athletes and Countries) at the international events, it's one of the most well spread around the world in terms of competitive teams, it's one of the most successful sports in France (both in terms of participation and actual success) and it doesn't require a new venue (it can be played at the same venue of Taekwondo rather than Judo or Wrestling...normally they have 2 venues covering those 4 disciplines...and it would be the same with only 3, so, it doesn't change anything)...

meh...:nopompom:

80 quotas to get rid in other sports to make room for karate ?

 

I mean the fact that additional sports quotas were counted this time in the overall 15,000 athlete quotas probably changed a lot of things.

I don't think that's the problem...I mean, Karate is already in the 2020 schedule, so they don't need to cut more quota than this time (actually, they should, because karate deserves at least 16 -if not 32, considered that world champs always have more than 100- starters in each class and all 5 kumite classes in the olympic program, but that's another question)...

I think the bigger issue is that 10 athletes per event is laughable, you really do need at least 16 athletes. That's 128 athletes among the current events. You can have 2-4 sports with that many athletes.

 

get rid of those cheaters of Boxing and you have 300 more quota available...

 

not to mention that not having Baseball/Softball returning, it also increases the amount of spots that could be used to make the current sports more enjoyable...

 

p.s. and in any case...breakdance...c'mon, guys! let's be serious...

      Ski Jumping FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.

      Curling WCF European Championship 2024

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.

      What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.

      Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
