Matter of opinion. Boxing will always be a sport on the fringe. I think Sport Climbing is great edition and that Skateboarding is overdue. I’m not a huge fan of Karate, but I think it deserves a place because it is unique from other martial arts. Surfing and Breaking have no place in the Olympics. The Baseball/Softball tournaments are too small. Jose Luis and thiago_simoes 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Agreed about weightlifting, not about boxing. IWF seems to be trying to fight doping, AIBA is corruption itself. 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!

MHSN 3,047 Posted April 15, 2019 Author #28 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) IWF was always a corrupt organization but at least they were better in updating their websites. we always had live score for major tournaments plus start list for continental championships etc. but now even after a day still no sign of European Champs results. and for example they put Fajr Cup tournament in Tehran (which happened a month ago) just few days ago ! quite an improvement specially this year where all these results matter for the Olympic qualification while there is no official start list for the Asian Championship in China, there are news that king of doping Ilya Ilyin is back (this time to really participate) but at 96kg !!!!!! he had two "no marks" already and this is his last chance in this window. if he doesn't show up or bombs out there will be no chance for him to qualify. this could be a hell of a competition in this weight in Asia with him, Tian Tao (assuming he will participate at home), Moradi and Rostami from Iran. but Moradi is still injured. (good news he doesn't need a surgery and will recover soon) and the biggest jerk ever Rostami just pulled out of the team couple days ago claiming he is not happy with the support he is receiving !!! I'm not going to write all of his super stupid comments but this guy is simply unbelievable. for couple months he was more committed into training, knowing Moradi is injured and with a back surgery he will most probably miss the Olympics but now Moradi is back on his feet he started his stupid games again. another important weightlifter for Iran is Saeid Alihosseini, (the only man in the world who can giggle Talakhadze at least) he was also injured in past few months but despite not "being ready" he is still going to this competition just to have a result and keep his chance alive. if he bombs out this will be the end of his career.
