    The thing is, counting football players in the athlete quota doesn't even really make any sense. They don't stay in the village, and they bring in more revenue than they cost.

    Like I get why people dislike the men's football tournament, but it would be an absolutely braindead move to remove it.

    2031 and 2035 are both good picks to host.
     
    Expanding the women's (or men's for that matter) world cup to 48 teams is... bleh. The 32 team format is / was so good

    IIRC this is how early Korea always does Olympic selections for short track. It's actually a small part of why Ahn Hyun-soo / Viktor An went from to , he didn't have a chance to qualify for the 2010 Olympics because of an injury he suffered in 2008.

    It's a real shame they've had so many issues with the electronic handles, having an objective measure for hog line violations was much better.

    Based on my quick and dirty tie-break hell calculation will qualify for the Olympics if they beat and fails to finish in the top 2.

    The Olympic program commitee is reporting to the Executive Board on April 9th, so hopefully that's confirmation it means we'll know the event program then.

    in 2021 I had a knee injury with partially torn ACL and the tibial plateau was almost fractured (it went so close...I was very, very lucky not to see my knee literally explode, said the doctor)
     
    it took me 7 months (with a lot of physio and painkillers, luckily no surgery) to walk normal with (almost) no pain
     
    so, I know what we talk of
