The fact that the 13th (alternate) athlete will only be able to compete if another athlete gets injured is so stupid. All the pre-Olympic training with your team, only to most likely not get a chance to compete. For most major international volleyball events the roster size is 14 (all playing) but of course the Olympics has to be different. :facepalm:

look at Waterpolo, the same Fencing (which is even more hypocrite, because the reserve is always with the team, also during the competition, ready to come in if needed -even for merely tactical decision- but then, once he/she's in they can't change anymore)

 

IOC are just a buch of idiots, trying to ruin the sport as much as they can in the name of their stupid "agenda" :facepalm: :bones:

Good, I hope for surfing in Tahiti, skateboarding in Guadeloupe, breakdancing in French Guiana...so we can forget that they're part of the Olympics.

aren't you trolling enough with the OG cancellation that will never happen?

 

do you really hope the entire world being destroyed and humanity being extinct?

 

c'mon! someone stop this idiot, please! :wall:

Just read it for what it is: a bit of provoking, who cares :p 

 

Curious what's the 2026 thing going to be!

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

The problem is the team size is small, not so much that they add one extra athlete. Basically: things are wrong with this, but 'there will be an AP athlete' isn't the main one :p

Out of the gazillion issues with the IOC, the roster sizes of the team sports is amongst the least problematic in my view. :p 12 in volleyball is perfectly fine, give me more individual quotas in 15 other sports.

Or maybe the IOC could be a little less militant about the athlete quota overall and cut costs elsewhere.

Don't worry for your women's volleyball team, they will qualify in the end. Dutch volleyball women are masters in screwing up qualifications for the Games. Besides that, Canada simply has a better team with a few exceptional players, while the Dutch team no longer has any real stars like Sloetjes, De Kruijff or Flier.

 

Speaking of The Netherlands, already 142 quota! Depends on handball, football and volleyball women if we exceed the number of 200 athletes.

I do agree that Canada has a better team, but only by a little bit IMO. However, I’m not so confident that they’ll eventually qualify for Paris. That being said, I’ve been following Canadian athletes club season stats (even managing to watch some of the games) and they are certainly doing better than last year.
 

Brie King (Sesc RJ Flamengo) was one of the top setters in Brazil last year, and from what I’ve been seeing it only looks like she’s been getting better.

 

Andrea Mitrovic (Grot Budowlani Łódź) has been MVP in Tauron Liga (Polish League) a bunch, so has Hillary Howe (Radomka Radom), but Mitrovic seems to be a more reliable passing option.

 

In the Sultanlar Ligi, we have Emily Maglio (Beşiktaş), who is continuing with her form that saw her as the top blocker at the Olympic Qualifier, currently averaging 0.77 blocks per set (6th overall) and 2.84 pts per set.

We also have Kiera Van Ryk (Türk Hava Yolları), the Canadian I’ve probably been the most impressed with this season, she’s second in the Sultanlar Ligi (Turkish League) in points per set (5.83) ahead of big names like Tijana Boskovic (5.78) and Magdalena Stysiak (5.24) :yikes:

      200m / 400m runner Jodie Williams.   Had a great record at the Age Group level but never quite got the big solo wins as an adult.  Relay bronze in Paris was her finest moment.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/articles/ckgl7gwvj8go

      Wrestling UWW Non-Olympic Weight Categories World Championships 2024

      This is the World Senior Championship final, not a high school match   and this kid is under 20 (won the world U20 this year) and destroyed everybody (including  Olympic Champ Uguev and World Champ Arujau) in his senior debut.   injuries and lack of motivation play a big role, but if this kid stays healthy and motivated, I don't think anybody beats him in next 10 years. he is lightening fast, his gut-wrench is deadly and he can throw at will. that's the complete package.   not sure what Olympic weight he picks. Japan has the current Olympic Champion in both 57kg and 65kg.   I think it's fair to say Japan is currently the best men's freestyle team in the world. (despite being weak in heavier weights)

      Sport is not only about the Olympics (which is somehow ruined by the IOC, mixing it with the politics and for this specific sport limiting the number of athletes to just 16 per weight)   it was a great competition (despite having a terrible host) . yep the freestyle competition ended up very badly for our team but it was great pleasure watching Masanosuke Ono and likes of Abdulrashid Sadulaev, Jordan Burroughs, David Taylor and Zavur Uguev.   watching Masanosuke Ono itself makes my day.

      Only WCh 2016 was worse than this one. I saw some great bouts but overall, this Ch was unnecessary.

      There might be modern tracks for lots of sports in Ashgabat actually. They organised some Asian martial arts competition some time ago and for that they built all sort of megalomaniac infrastructures (you see the picture of the gigantic horse head? That’s part of the main stadium), all in white (there’s some rule from the president that everything needs to be white in that city), and all pretty much abandoned since that time.   According to the delusional/brainwashed local people we met, “all those investments are understandable because Ashgabat will organize the Olympic very soon”.    That’s because the dictator is obsessed with huge buildings, if you see my third last photo, that is actually an indoor ferry wheel (yes, it’s a thing apparently), the largest one in the world (Guiness world record), and it looked really abandoned. Me and my wife were the only ones going on it.   Everything in that country (but especially in Ashgabat) is bizarre.

      Baku is a large resort. There is a modern track in cycling in Ashgabat. The World Championships were supposed to be held some years ago.

      There are some government allowed routes that go to the West, but the usual one is just around the two main cities (Ashgabat and Mary) and then crossing the desert to that gas fire crater.   thats what I did, entered from the east from Bukhara (Uzbekistan) and left again to Uzbekistan but in the Khiva border.   Not sure how’s the caspian sea there, but the only time I saw it , in Azerbaijan, didn’t look very clean to swim.

      I don't see any photos from the Caspian Sea? I wonder if there are swimming conditions there?

      Some other fast swims today include a new commonwealth record by Duncan Scott in the 400m free and a European record in the 100m IM by Marchand. Watch out for some quick swims in the 200m free and 200m IM later on.
