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

@intoronto I would guess ISSF is asking for Mixed Team Skeet, which would probably just be rubber-stamped by the IOC.  

Called it.

this makes more sense than all the other jokes reported in the last few months, but still...

 

I just can't stand those mixed gender team events anymore...this thing's really got pandemic...:yikes: :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

and the most recent news about Bach's unopposed candidature for another mandate as the IOC President could make more damages than another Trump's mandate as US President...:nopompom: :wall:

Totally agree, they're pushing way too hard these mixed gender events, I wonder what the perception of it will be in Tokyo, as it could also backlash on the IOC if everything becomes more "artificial".

 

And I'm not even gonna comment on your last statement :facepalm:

So they removed the traditional 500 m events to bring in the more "hip and exciting" 200 m events, just to have the same removed after only 2-3 Olympics to bring in the next new "hip and exciting" flavor. And people wonder why ICF are a broke, bottom of the barrel federation in the Olympic family (and probably even outside of it).

I don’t know how much of this is the ICF’s fault. They’ve basically been asked/told to accept these changes by the IOC, or face loosing their place on the Olympic program. 
 

The ICF has it’s faults like every other international sports federation, but I’ve always found the ICF to be one of the better ones. They’ve done a fairly good job of growing the sport the last couple of years. They have a strong World Cup circuit. They broadcast all their major events. I’m not the most familiar with the politics of the ICF, but it seems like they are under good governance. Overall, they’re a solid IF in my opinion.

 

Canoe has been ever evolving distance wise. Began with 1000m and 10000m races, then 500m races, then 200m races, and now we see the occasional 5000m race at multi-sports games.

Good riddance on the 200 events IMO. I just wish they'd replace them with 5000m events rather than with that BS and extremely boring kayakcross thing.

 

Like, I'm all for the X-Gamification of the Olympics. Freestyle skiing is my favourite Olympic sport, I love slopestyle, I love half-pipe, I love ski/snowboardcross, I tolerate big air, I like BMX racing, I'm super happy about skateboarding, surfing and BMX freestyle being added to the Olympics. Kayakcross (I refuse to call it anything else) is a neat idea in theory but it just doesn't work on an artificial whitewater course, and it hasn't caught on in the same way all the other events I have listed above have. The Olympics needed snowboarding, freestyle skiing, skateboarding and surfing way more than those sports needed the Olympics. "Extreme canoe slalom", on the other hand, needs the Olympics to grow.

      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

      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.
