No sporting boycotts will happen. I'm amazed how delusional people are. The Tibet situation was much bigger in 2008 and they held the Games there. Money is more important to IOC than people realize. The days when they banned Ingemar Stenmark from taking part in WOG are long over :lol:

I’m not so sure.

I am sure. Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan are all lost to the Western world. COVID has allowed China to call people racists whenever someone says "Chinese virus". NBC pays too much money for WOG to be held without Americans for instance. Nobody in USA would tune in to watch Russians and Norwegians win :p

I am sure NBC has a clause in the contract that says no Americans no broadcast.

What about the sponsors who bought ads for the TV coverage? :coffee:

Most people don't like FIFA either and nobody thinks about boycotting the World Cup :lol:

There has been many calls to do so.

And football only grows bigger with more games and more money invested. Nobody will boycott FIFA World Cup, football is basically bigger than Olympic Games (most certainly than the Winter edition where half of the world doesn't even have a shot at any medals).

Did you miss the news that the Scandinavian FA’s are considering quitting Fifa due to the prospect of the World Cup every two years?

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      [OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2025

      That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
