Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Sports Programme


 Share

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:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
