Cricket got a boost the rugby team lost the WC final :lol:

 

Polish awards will be announced on January 4th. Stoch & R. Lewandowski are basically locked into Top 3 IMO.

 

naaa...Cricket is still the biggest English sport (after Football)...even if the rugby team had won the RWC, it wouldn't have changed the rankings that much...

Hmm... I know a guy from Newcastle who claims nobody gives a rat's ass about cricket. I'd say rugby is more popular than cricket in the UK :p

really? :yikes:

 

so, you missed one of last summer's main events in the world of sports...:redcard::spank:

 

In the Commonwealth world of sports and a handful of diehard fans outside of it, I suppose :p  I'm sure in most nations in the world it wouldn't even make an annual 'International sports highlights of 2019' video if they had it.

maybe you're right, but except for Football and Athletics, we can say the same for almost every other sport...:evil:

 

look at rugby...it's only about France, Argentina and the Commonwealth Nations...but still, the RWC is considered one of the biggest sports events in the world...

 

the same goes for Handball, for instance...who gives it a crap outside north/central/eastern Europe?

 

and I could go on for the rest of the day...

me too...

 

and frankly I only agree at 100% on the "team of the year" and the "most improved athlete of the year" result...

 

but as we don't have an official sports award, this is still one of the most reliable among all those we can see all around in these days...

 

p.s. of course I also like the special mention for Sinisa Mihajlovic and I wish him and his family all the best (as I know exactly what kind of drama they're going through and I'm particularly sensitive on that issue), but this has not much to do with sports (except for Sinisa being a famous former player and now a successful coach)...;)

by the way, here are my absolutely personal picks for the Italian Sports Awards...

 

Man of the Year: Dominik Paris (Alpine Skiing) & Elia Viviani (Cycling) ex-aequo

 

Woman of the Year: Dorothea Wierer (Biathlon)

 

Team of the Year: "Settebello" (Men's Waterpolo National Team)

 

Coach of the Year: Stefano Morini, Matteo Giunta & Christian Minotti (Swimming); Alessandro Campagna (Waterpolo) ex-aequo

 

Most Promising Athlete: Jannik Sinner (Tennis)

No mention for Paralympic Sports nor E-Sports as I don't follow them at all...

I'd even put  ' Football ' and 'Athletics ' in inverted commas. All countries have their own sport preferences.

In fact each state of India has a different view for all sports. If you say that England won the cricket world cup, people won't even like care in states like manipur ( football, wushu, karate, judo, even weightlifting is more popular than cricket)  and so many north east sides(Arunchal Pradesh, Sikkim just like Bhutan)  that the media will only report it as a normal news and then you go to Andaman and Nicobar Islands you would be asked what is cricket unless you went to mainland as cycling and canoeing are way tooo popular. Athletics isnt considered a sport in many states but entering Kerala it's pretty common to be an sprinter or jumper. Then there are states like Gujarat and all where football is known to very small rural population. My friend's once laughed when I watching some squash but in Tamil Nadu you'll find them keen to learn as its pretty popular. Carolina Marin, Tai Tzu Ying are all very famous in Telangana just because the state follows badminton very much. Even in my state if I say Mohmad Ahsan or Wang Yilu they surely differentiate their events easily if not all at least a sizeable number. Not to forget the wrestling craze of UP and especially Haryana where thousands flock to watch the bouts .

 

So what happens is media reports important news only when it's famous or popular  so there's regional prefernces  across the world.

    • One has already been approved under the new rules. 
    • There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).
    • Women's Ice Hockey IIHF Division II Group B World Championship 2026   Hong Kong (HKG) - 30 March 2026 - 5 April 2026     Official Website Programme Results System Facebook Page Discussion Thread
    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
