Fly_like_a_don reacted to NearPup in Women's Football FIFA World Cup 2023
Technically Canada only beat one team in the Tokyo knockout stages (and two across the whole tournament), but at least that one team was the :P
(The 2020 Olympic gold medal was a total fluke, but there are other tournaments where the team should have done better, like the 2012 Olympics. That’s soccer for you)

Accidental Olympic champions rightly out of the world cup. This is what they deserve.

Fly_like_a_don got a reaction from Olympian1010 in Which Sports Events are you Currently Watching?
No one asked European nations to send less athlethes or withdraw. Purely their problem. All the results have been very fair until now except a few in Wushu where anyhow Asians dominate. If your archers, shooters or juodkas don't perform that's not the games' problem.

It's funny how people come to a conclusion that a sport will be dropped just because of their lack of interest in the sport.

Throwing out sports shouldn't be easy, but the talking points and agendas are always politicized.
I can do that too, because i'm bored
You hear all the time - cost of the Games, cost of the Games, COST of the Games, but somehow that is never factored in, when they talk about the sports programme.
Track Cycling - highly expensive
Canoe Slalom - highly expensive
Sailing and Equestrian - probably expensive to organise and definitely expensive to practice.
Rowing / Sprint canoeing - could be expensive, if you don't have a built in canal..
I like these sports and don't want them to leave, but you have to wonder why they never come up in discussions. Is it maybe because those are sports dominated by Western countries. (Yes i know, the old West vs. East propaganda, a tale old as time). Of course those sport have never had any problems, they are clear as the sky.
While the topic is always on weightlifting, boxing, wrestling, rhythmic gymnastics, you know sports which are more popular in other parts of the world (Again, i know, doping, corruption, shady organisations.. it never happens in other sports). Sports, which require 2 mats /rings/ podiums, that could be organised on the street and can be practiced in the smallest village in Zambia. We are saving money by throwing out the cheapest sports out there.
And i can add the diversity participation card in there. Boxing, wrestling, even weightlifting, if they'd allow them, have more country diversity at one Olympics, than Sailing, Equestrian and Track Cycling could have in 5 Olympics combined.

Exactly last 2 Olympics it has been poor graphics maybe that's the reason we have struggled in the sport at the games. Once the graphic improves at Olympics we should return to best

Shooting, Boxing, Table Tennis, Swimming and Archery could join the list.

It's very old rumour. Due to Olympics I doubt this will happen since I see them participating in at least 8 sports at the games. Having a Russia International Games in 2025 will be fun though

Yeah right that's the doubt i had @phelps The norwegian is 3rd and Ecuadorian 4th. You missed Sara Ahmed of Egypt who's now the favourite for gold next year as China is going to skip the event. With 3 nations 268 ,266,265kg it will be an exciting finals next year

The worst event I saw today was Kun Kru in Kun Khmer. Athletes act like they got spirits on their body no martial art as such and as expected the host won both golds. It has to be the most rubbish event at any multi sport game in the 21st century.

Timor Leste wins its first medal of the games, a bronze in mixed doubles soft tennis. Except Brunei all nations have medalled on Day 1.

men win bronze in 50 overs cricket. Really commendable performance from both them as well as Indonesia despite losing. Both teams decided against allowing expats in the team. So it's a fully home grown team.
