Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Sports Programme


Recommended Posts

The IOC really frustrates me. Limiting the amount of athletes per game to the 10,500 will not work. The last three Olympics have had 11,000+ athletes. Now we are going to end up with further cuts in established sports, with some sports already going to the extremes in qualification (those athletic standards are really hard10

When is the IOC going to cut some of these sports???  I love the summer games the way it is.  It is starting to get ridiculous for how many sports they are adding.  I would cut boxing, 3x3 Basketball, and BMX freestyle.  Boxing has too much controversy and even though 3x3 Basketball is exciting, I would rather have only one Basketball.  I could do without BMX freestyle as well.  Surfing is a sport that has to depend on the host city.  Where is surfing going to be held in Paris???  I could do without break dancing as well.  It’s just unnecessary.  I’m starting to like the winter games better because they don’t have an overwhelming amount of sports and it is easier to follow.  Plus, who would want to host the summer games when you have to find venues for 40-45 sports.  In my opinion, the IOC needs to put a limit on sports. 

 

Biarritz, in the Basque Country near the Spanish border...on the Atlantic Ocean...

p.s. it's a wonderful place for Surf (they just hosted the ISA longboard world champs) and not only for Surf...it's a wonderful area. Point.

 

p.p.s. I agree at 101% with your post...especially when you talk about cutting some activities like 3x3 basketball, BMX Freestyle and so on...

Pretty much, you can have more events or fewer athletes, but not both.

 

I think you can have a bit more of both, if IOC really gets less pretentious in terms of venues, logistics and accomodation...

 

and in any case, just cut those sports where you have more judges and/or officials than athletes* first...:pope:

 

*not thinking about artistic swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, BMX freestyle...noooooo...:raspberry:

Hasn't been decidet yet. So far, Biarritz (plus Capbretron/Hossegor), Lacanau (near Bordeaux) and a bid from Brittany are asking to host the event. They're even talks from french polynesia  :smoke: 

 

Only one sure thing, artifical pool has been ruled out.

tbh, if they don't choose Biarritz, they are crazy...

 

French Polynesia would be fascinating, but I'd really like to meet the pusher of those who proposed that...:lol:

he must have some really good stuff...:roflmao:

 

the artificial pool...well, those who thought about it, must have a cheater as a pusher...he surely gave them some gone bad stuff...:p:facepalm:

    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?
