Found this on Reddit, so not sure how accurate it is, but knowing the IOC and the ever so few countries willing to host, it could very well be true..

 

"Norway was planning a bid to host for 2022 but withdrew after public outcry as the ludicrous list of IOC's demands became public knowledge.

 

7000 pages with demands and specifications that they tried keeping secret. Among those were these demands:

 

  • Cocktail party with and paid for by the King or local delegation
  • Local clubs at all major arenas with outdoor balcony, restaurant and lounge
  • No non-affiliated brands (sponsors) are allowed to have their logo visible in any broadcast or the village
  • Private IOC lanes on the highway
  • Traffic lights adjusted to prioritize IOC members
  • Private systems at all relevant airports
  • All venues where IOC members are must have access to bars with free high quality liquor and food."

@Olympian1010 and I have been citing this when we joke about Bach and Agenda 2020 here.

Ha, I read that exact comment too.
 

I’m not sure how legit all of those are, but I believe those are close to the official and unofficial criteria.

The Canadian Parliament has voted to label China's treatment of its minority Uighur population as a genocide (the Liberal cabinet, and prime minister did not vote). The motion also included "lobbying the IOC to move the 2022 Winter Olympics outside of China"

"Diplomatic boycott"

US athletes will go but no diplomats or government officials.

If you have to protest this seems a good way to do it.

Won't have an effect on the team.

      Water Polo Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028

      By phelps · Posted

      you're obsessed! but who cares about a team of mercenaries? the players have to be true "Italians", which means they have to have Italian blood running through their veins, they have to feel the love for the Country, they have to feel their heart bumping when the Anthem is played, they have to really want to play for us there's no need to bring here people not good enough to make their native NT, just pick and train our young girls! waterpolo isn't that complicated, just needs a strong physical preparation and being smart enough to understand the tactical situation and take the correct decisions in the pool   ps and frankly, better find a swimmer capable of winning multiple medals than a winning team in a sport watched just by the players' relatives 😈

      I don't think rankings are fair in cricket. There's no cricket between India and Italy or Papua New Guinea for the latter team to improve their performance or get better in rankings. It's just top 8 teams that regularly play against each other.   In long term, if more teams being competitive there will be more interesting match ups rather than between same old teams.

      I understand your disappointment as a neutral Olympics fan  , but the qualification pathway that both ICC & IOC has agreed on is based on pure merit. In fact many other Olympic sports has world ranking system as the primary  means of qualification . This achieves 2 things, it rewards the best nations in that particular sports who have managed to perform at the highest level over a period of time rather than a one off playoff/qualifiers & secondly it ensures you get quality matches among the best teams in the world at the Olympic level. There is a reason world rankings are used as a parameter for qualification in multiple Olympic sports.  I am delighted for  & they qualified on merit albeit via penalty kicks, but how many Canadians (or the global audience)will be interested to watch a World cup opening match at home v  as compared to v . You will get your answer as to why ICC choose world rankings over  a random qualifier.

      It would be great if  women Italy water polo returned to the top, where volleyball is now. These 2  teams + basketball and football and maybe softball, would be a nice to see for the women's team sports in LA in 2028.   https://www.instagram.com/p/DVs-BAdjPyd/?img_index=2

      https://www.instagram.com/izachiappini   She's currently playing in Roma, but I see she's 171 cm height... She's a bit short, and that's a big problem for the Italian National Team. I also don't know if there's even any talk of her returning to the Italian National Team? She is 31, which is still an age to return to play in NT. The ITA has changed head coaches, so maybe there's still a chance for a her return? There's no one left from that 2019 team, except for Roberta Bianconi.

      For me, it's nonsense –in the Italian National Team played with players from Hungary, Brazil, etc., although perhaps not at that particular time. Regarding the 2019-2021 period, it was a generational change after coach Fabio Conti times. The team was in crisis and didn't qualify for the 2021 Olympics. I don't remember what the atmosphere was like back then, but honestly, I don't remember that particular this Brazilian player in our squad. If there was a problem, it was more of a personal one. Many people from that squad are gone, but the crisis in the Italian team continues and is more of a structural one – the players are too weak physically. In my opinion, it would be advisable to naturalize someone strong to change the Italian team's power.
