  5. we already discussed about this question last year... I haven't gone back to 2017 and earlier with my research, but last year no African climber did show up at the senior worlds nor in any world cup stage and only a few South Africans took part into the youth/junior worlds... and also this year no African did show up at the senior worlds nor in any world cup stage so far... so, the odds are all against any African climber getting a legitimate Olympic Quota (with reasonable expectation that the quota wouldn't be rejected it in case they somehow get it)... and to be honest, imho they don't even deserve such privilege, as they don't seem to be very interested in a true development of the sport in their Continent...I'm OK with regional and/or Tripartite Commission quota, but only if behind them there's something going on, there's a growing movement (even if a low level one, but genuine and enthusiastic, at least)... taking quota away from really dedicated athletes only for the pleasure of saying "we are global" even when that's not true, it doesn't make any sense to me...and it's not good for the sport, too...

  6. I'm mostly surprised you expected so much. If big African sports events have shown anything, it's that these are exactly the things that are generally just 15 levels below that of the rest of the world, maybe with a rare exception here and there. There might be all kinds of reasons for that so blaming it on them would be possibly unfair, but it's generally just better to expect it's not a fantastically organized event in terms of information, everything being ready, competitions running smoothly and so on. Better focus on the sports My motto for events like this (or at least I'm trying): "Expect nothing, then you can't be disappointed"

  8. I will say the one thing they got completely right is the branding for the games. Good promos on YouTube, and the graphic design of the banners at the venues is probably the best of this cycle (although every continental games had great design this time around).

  11. This forum keeps updated results for every World Cup and Grand Prix event and they publish official results even before the websites of the national federations sometimes. It's a good place to look for information when the events occur. It's all in Russian, though.

  17. Plus they'll always use the 'freedom of speech' card. Which in my opinion you've thrown away when resorting to violence like all of the mentioned people here have done, but fine.

  23. I'm not sure they can even organize a continental championship in Africa, as they never show up at any competition (apart from a couple of South African among the juniors, but we all know how strict are RSA with their own qualifying criteria, so I think that there's no chance for them to get an Olympic spot)... that's why I wrote about match criteria (the main one, organizing a Continental Champs and not rejecting the quota when they get it)...

  33. Like we have more than 10 people who even know what on earth fistball is I can guarantee more people will think "the fuck kind of fetish is that?" instead of "which sport is that?" when you say "Hey. Fistball."

  35. They improved from the last world championship while Argentina and the United States faltered. Chile wasn’t bad, I was impressed by both them and Italy. Right now I’d say the top tier is Germany, Austria, Brazil, and Switzerland. Second tier is Italy, Chile, Argentina. Third tier is Namibia, Czech Rpublic, United States, New Zealand. I believe there’s a strong chance Italy has qualified a team for the World Games as well
