To be honest, some changes aren't even bad. It's just others are REALLY BAD, so it overshadows other decent changes.

 

 

Another Race Walk event for women is needed. High Diving is fine, I wouldt mind it taking Artistic Swimmings spot tbh.

 

Ligthweigth rowing adds nothing to the games. Coastal rowing is a developed and entreteining sport completely different to anything already on. I support that change. Same thing with Sailing. I get people not liking "mixed events", but it kind of makes sense in Sailing, and it opens the door for other exciting boats.

Same thing for Mixed Skeet or mixed time trial, I can live with it being in the games.

 

Aything else, garbage.

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

What could have Fencing asked for? Mixed weapon mixed team (lmao) event?

That’s my best guess.

Any other sport missing?

Golf - My best guess is a Mixed Team event of some nature

Boxing - IOC doesn’t recognize the AIBA, who knows what’s going on there

Rowing - Nothing comes to mind, but if they haven’t made a point of saying that haven’t asked for the inclusion of something, then my conclusion is that they proposed something

Weightlifting - With the chaos at the IWF, who knows

Wrestling - Has definitely made a proposal, probably Beach Wrestling.

Please, god, no. As a former fencer I have an urge to stab anyone who proposes a mixed weapon event.

 

Fencing is blessed with a great team format, lets not mess with it. Especially now that we finally, at long last, got the full complement of team events in the Olympics.

A golf team event with a Match Play format would be amazing. It doesn't add quotas and offers something completely different. I hope they asked that cause I can see it happening

Golfers have long complained about the Olympic format being too much like every other random PGA event. Adding a team element and/or matchplay would be really popular among the athletes and would make the Olympics more attractive to golf fans.

 

Match play is also way more interesting for people who aren't inherently golf fans. If I had it my way you'd have a men's, women's and mixed matchplay event with two person teams.

I thought World Athletics were replacing the 20k and 50k walk with one 30k distance anyway?

A 10k event (that could be held in the stadium or in road) and a 30k road one. But it only would happend if the tecnology for a better judging could be tested and it was confirmed efective. If not, they would do 20k and 35k.

 

So, basically, we don't know nothing.

      Rowing 2024 Discussion Thread

      I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.

      Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.

      I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

      Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector

      Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
