because a historic sport will not be in program

Well, I don't think they care :lol:  They'd save a bit of money and that's it.

 

Anyway, do people really expect IOC to make such a radical move less than three years before the games start ?

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

Normally, no. But considering this has been in the air for a long time and IWF is just somehow managing to make it worse on a near-daily basis, I'm kind of expecting that, yes.

 

Not that it would matter for Paris 2024 as a whole of course. Terrible for the athletes, sad for weightlifting fans, but other than that, I highly doubt anyone will really care. And that's not even thinking about probably 90% - at least - of the Olympic viewers who won't even know it was gone until it's back in LA 2028 (if they'll even notice the existence then).

I can’t see it coming back after it is axed. 

It will be a bit awkward due to the French political pressure to reinstate Karate to then axe a sport after saying the programme is fixed.

I believe the total air time of weightlifting during these Olympics in France was about 60 seconds. So, yeah, people won't notice. 

 

Yet, I still believe IOC is trying to push the sport in the right direction and that if they fail to do so (which seems likely at this point) big decision will happen only afterward. Actually, I could see Paris to hold the last Olympic weightlifting tournament in history.

Obviously... But you have to consider the hosts also. None of the next three ones having a real desire for the discipline, it can only hurt the chances of weightlifting to remain.

I don't understand why the IOC just doesn't take over weightlifting like it did for boxing.

Boxing only had one problem (corruption), weightlifting has a major corruption problem *and* a major doping problem.

Olympics is losing popularity fast, no one will bat an eye at the removal of weightlifting. They can even remove swimming and no one will care except for swimmers. Sad reality but it's time to accept that the olympics is a relic of the past. Social phenomenon like TikTok already replaced the olympics in the hearts and minds of the youth.

      Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba?

      It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!

      I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.

      Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.

      Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
