Poll 9/100  

66 members have voted

  1. 1. If you were told you could watch only one team sport during the Olympic Games what would you choose?

    • Basketball
    • Handball
    • Rugby Sevens
    • Football
    • Baseball / Softball
    • Volleyball
    • Field Hockey
    • Water Polo
    • I don't know
    • None, if I was given the option I'd remove some / all of the team sports and replace it with new and exciting individual events.

Assume there's a lockdown during that time, no travel allowed to other nations, no vpn working and you can only see the results of other team sports. 

Field Hockey (because it's likely the only one still having the Olympic games as their main target, while many others are more focused on the rich club season, despite what they publicly say :whistle:)...

 

and because I like the sport (and there are not so many chances to watch the highest level of play during the rest of the 4-year span, especially here in italy)...of course...

Of baseball and football I'd pretty much only watch the results anyway, so those are easy choices. Probably the same for most of the water polo and basketball. Actually I think for most of these sports the only matches I really watch will be from the quarterfinals on, or later, since there's too many medal events going on most of the time to spend time watching group matches :p 

 

Of the sports that remain for me, I think volleyball might have the most open field (definitely compared to for example field hockey), so I'll go for that one :d 

.

Field Hockey, as it's the only team sport India is involved. Very excited on how the team shall fare

I don't know...that is an impossible decision. Basketball, rugby, volleyball, baseball/softball....the list is endless

Honestly, I couldn't care less about all of the team sports in and out of the Olympics and I'm usually not the biggest fan of relays in sports as well.

 

Perhaps this feeling comes from the fact that I'm from a small country where you mostly get 1-2 good athletes per sport, so you never really produce that many competitive teams in anything. 

 

We never qualify anywhere apart from basketball, but even if we did, I much more prefer supporting individual athletes than I do teams, so I would definitely delete a sport or two to give additional Olympic quotas in some sports or add a few disciplines to sports that are already there.

 

 

Tough question for me. I personally really enjoy the team sports. In the end I went with volleyball because I personally enjoy the sport, but from the Dutch perspective I wouldn't want to miss field hockey either of course!

I randomly picked water polo, because none Polish TV doesn't show any water polo competition besides Olympics :d 

 

But I would watch volleyball with higher interest though.

    • Also a first: never before has a Dutch pair participated in the games, according to media rapports.
    • The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
    • Ida Lien (biathlon) - back surgery - out for the season.
    • Road to Junior World Championship International Test Matches   Sunday 21st December, 2025 ---------------------------------   -   1-6  -   1-3
    • Ouch for China, losing Gold in three disciplines, not even making to GMM in one...all in front of a home crowd.
    • Morocco won with second-half goals of Brahim Díaz and El Kaabi      Morocco  2 - 0  Comores
    • I think the points from the test event should be simple to figure out since WC points from 15th on (continuing through the nations cup races) just count down by 1. Why would it be any different? The only thing that would be uncertain is whether Li and Fischnaller get 1 or 0.
