    Of all the time i could have gone to the cinema, i picked the damn worst one  You should have seen my face, when i saw the results after the movie. My friends thought something really "important" had happened (not biathlon fans). 
     
    This is a moment that just made all the years of suffering, not much financing, small resources, worth the damn. Not only for Vlado Iliev, but for our whole team. And it happened, when the team was having the worst season in years. I think the motivation levels just got very high.

    Is it just me or was the camera work during the relays just shockingly bad?
     
    Also why aren’t they having a mixed relay
    at these championships given that it’s an Olympic event now?

    I made this thread for all discussions, questions and breaking news about countries and territories that aren't IOC members; whether it's Bougainville's attempts to become independent, the Faroe Islands trying to join the IOC, Vatican City's athletics team, or a small island competing in organized sport for the first time. 
     
    To track where everyone is I made a list here. The list includes all countries and dependencies with some kind of population (going off of ISO codes mostly) and I will be updating it as statuses change. "Competing Internationally" means they're active on an international sporting level – either part of a multi-sport Games or an international sport federation.
     
    Countries Competing Internationally:
     Abkhazia (CONIFA)  Niue (Commonwealth Games, World Rugby)  Northern Cyprus (CONIFA, WPA)  Sahrawi Republic (CONIFA)  Somaliland (CONIFA)  South Ossetia (CONIFA)  Vatican City (UCI, World Taekwondo) Countries Not Competing Internationally:

    6th place for which is a huge result considering our women's jumping is openly ignored by our Federation since like forever. We're years behind the best despite having a good potential on the men's side. We should be sending girls to these champs pretty much since 2013 and this was the first time. Can't stand this idiot Tajner who runs our Fed. He cares more about his 20+ years younger mistresses than female ski jumpers.

    I remember his triumphs in Salt Lake even if I was quite younger , but I always loved this sport, then I remember very well his triumphs in Vancouver...but still if you will say me the name Ammann nowadays, the first thing that will come to my mind is seeing him literally freezing around midnight in PyeongChang´s Normal Hill hoping to finally get the green for his second round jump

    I have mixed feelings. I mean, breakdance was one of the worst options they could choose, but at the other hand you can't say that bboys/bgirls are not athletes. To be a good breakdancer takes years of training. I'd prefer squash for example, but I am able to understand IOC's decision. 
     
    Also talking about new audiences, encouraging youth to Olympics, I think that adding "urban" sports could work. A lot of my friends are quite hyped about freestyle BMX, skateboard, sport climbing.
     
    But I don't like the idea of changing few sports every Olympics. It's just not fair for the athletes. Maybe it's not a problem with baseball/softball, which doesn't need Olympics imho, but it is a problem in karate now. Some younger karatekas may dreamt about competing in Paris and then... France doesn't want it (to my surprise, they're good at karate).
     
    However, afaik WKF and probably also WBSC would try to become core sports. I'm not sure, but it was probably Polish Karate Union who wrote, that decision about karate as a core sport would be made next year.

    I agree, and I won’t watch it either. But- The point is to keep things in perspective. It’s not permanent, it’s not e-sports, no existing sports were removed, and new sports are a tiny fraction. Could have been a lot worse. Everything we love about the Olympics will still be there.

    You know what? As silly as breakdancing is at least it’s a physically challenging and unique exercise. It’s not what anyone wanted, but it’s not e-sports. It’s not an affront to sport as a whole. I mean artistic events were even held in the Olympics before, and it’s not that unlike, say, gymnastics. And it’s not a permanent event either. Having rotating ‘innovative’ events while maintaining the 25+ core disciplines (let’s not forget, these new sports are a tiny FRACTION) is a good balance to have, I think.
