Not only indoor sports (volleyball, gymnastics) do not depend on the weather, even sports that were supposed to be played on the beach can be replicated in an indoor environment. Maybe why most people (at least here) talk about the Winter Olympics and the Olympics instead of the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics 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!

Well, you can say the same about Winter Olympics. Today hockey, curling and all skating are indoor sports (at least at the olympics). Hockey World Championships are in may! Maybe we should have Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics and Indoor Olympics now Edited October 25, 2018 by Col_Frost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me but some sports can't be played outdoors during the entire calendar year in every corner of the globe. I'm sure there's no need to play beach volleyball indoors in Brazil but majority of the world doesn't have that luxury. Hence it's not really a farce. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted October 25, 2018 #47 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Sometimes I'm glad IOC doesn't go for some prosals written here. "Indoor Olympics", come on... Summer sports are designed for summer conditions if moved outdoors (or at least it's heavily preferrable to play them during warmer months). Just because some reasons (khm... money) want to have them held all-year round, doesn't mean they stop being summer sports. Winter sports are designed for colder months, and can't be played in their true form otherwise. phelps 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,547 Posted October 25, 2018 #49 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Also, possibly a mod could move this to a general Olympic thread or something, it's not really a beach volleyball discussion anymore Wumo 1 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!
