That's not gonna happen in the days of pro sports where sports IS money., You could sell that crap in the 80s when Stenmark or Wenzel got banned for Olympic Games but not now. Even IAAF dropped the 'Amateur' part of their name for instance before a complete name change.
 
Comcast basically tells IOC what to do, how do you expect the sport to be more independent? Multi-billionaire companies run the sports every single day. And those private companies will NEVER become more transparent, they will throw the freedom of speech card at you and you're done. Since you're a journalist you should understand how such huge TV corporations work!
 
The Russian ban is maybe justified but it doesn't justify other nations from being let off the hook. And cheaters like Justin Gatlin being allowed to compete. If Maria Lasitskiene will be ineligible to compete in Tokyo what the FUCK will be Justin Gatlin doing there in first place?

Hope WADA focuses on China next

naaa...writing is definitely not my best skill...
 
by the way, about the word "fascinating" it's highly likely you're right, and I've been a bit misinterpretating it because of the Italian meaning of the correspondent word (which is normally only referred to "captivating in a good way", we have other words when we want to give a negative meaning to the sentence)...
 
p.s. I understand you couldn't go down too hard because of the platform you're writing on...
still, I'm heavily infuenced by my absolutely negative opinion on what the IOC is doing in the last 15 years or so...and therefore sometimes I can be very, very harsh with them...
as I wrote many times, I feel just like a baby whose favourite toy has been broken/taken away...

@ahjfcshfghb
 
the article is very good. I only wish you wrote something about cycling men's road race - 90 riders in a race is not enough. I understand they try to change something, but they shouldn't mess with the most classic events, the core of the games. A race with 150 riders would be much more interesting.
 
But anyway, I hope that both Tokyo and Paris will be fascinating to watch, too.

If anyone's interested I just wrote a review of the 2024 sports programme in Around The Rings. Would love to know your thoughts, I tried to keep it somewhat balanced

This. So this.

If anyone’s interested I published an Around The Rings piece about how the election could impact future Olympics

Totallympics has got another Brazilian Rollerski Circuit win  
 
The 5k freestyle, as announced yesterday: revenge! @brunamoura crossed the line with a victory scream in what was a massive new personal best time! Second place for Duda, who absolutely broke apart her old PB  The women and girls are improving left and right and that is really awesome to see!

There a list for 1984 somewhere I believe I read it once, for Czechoslovakia  including the likes of Jarmila Kratochvilová or Helena Fibingerová
 
but in other hand former TCH won a full pack of medals at the "Druzhba" Games 2-18-28 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_Games

This whole thing becomes so close to reality... Matt, you are a candidate to become Fencing Olympic Champion one day

Looks good! I am in New Zealand until August so timezones might be hard, but we will cross that bridge

Here’s a draft of the charter I came up with for the games:
Organization
TBD
Participation
Participants must be registered members (hereby known as “users”) of Totallympics.
A user must be an active member of the community in order to participate. An active member of the community is defined as a member who has participated in at least one discussion, or has participated in Totallympics sanctioned activities such as the Totallympics International Song Contest, or a Prediction Contest, within the past year. 
A user may be allowed special dispensation to participate in Totallympics Games if the community deems them eligible even if they do not fulfill the active user criteria; subject to the approval of the organizing committee.
Participating users shall be respectful of all participants and officials.
Participating users must be respectful when posting and discussing with other members on any of the Totallympics Games Thread.
Users must meet all of the necessary eligibility requirements. 
If foul play is detected with respect to 7 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) at any stage before, during or after the competition, the organising committee reserves the right to place the participation or result of that nation under review. These rules are not designed to exclude, only to ensure the Totallympics Games retain a distinct character, built upon a unique community atmosphere created by users of the forum.
National Representation
Users may represent one nation, and are not allowed to change affiliation under any circumstances after entering the games.
A user may represent the nation of their birth, the nation they currently reside, the nation they are a citizen of, or the nation listed on their Totallympics profile.
Violation of rules 3.a or 3.b will result in the disqualification of the user, and a voiding of their results. The user may continue to participate in the events and festivities of the games, but will no longer be considered an official entry.
Event Program
To be on the program an event must use an application, software, program, or activity that is reasonably available to most users.
To be on the program an event must have at least 5 participants or more. In the event of a late withdrawal, an event may continue with 4 participants provided that all of the participants make the greatest possible effort to complete the event.
Events must be conducted with the highest degree of organization possible.
Failure of an event to meet criteria (a), (b), or (c) will lead to eviction from the program of the Totallympics Games.
Amendments to the Totallympics Games Charter
Amendments may be made to the Totallympics Games Charter.
Amendments will be proposed by either the organizing committee of the Totallympics Games, or participants of the Totallympics Games.
For an amendment to be approved, it must be passed by a simple majority vote of eligible voters. Eligible voters are defined as members of the organizing committee of the Totallympics Games, users who have participated in the Totallympics Games, users who are registered to compete in the Totallympics Games but have yet to compete, and moderators of Totallympics.
Amendments may be changed from their original text, or discarded if a simple majority of eligible voters approve such action in a vote. Rules originally in the Totallympics Games Charter may also be subjected to the above actions.

Okay, so I decided to make this thread on @ahjfcshfghb recommendation, and comment I saw from @dcro in the TISC thread about the special contest in the summer. 
 
@dcro had suggested doing a few competitions during what would have been this year’s Summer Olympic Games. I had offered to try and run a Summer Games in Minecraft using the venues I’d built. I’d also to be open to any other suggestions people I have. One possibility might be to do some events from the official Olympic videos games (Mobile/Console). The games would be complete with a logo, mascot, motto, hopefully some form of “reward”, etc.; as well as full streaming (when possible), a results page, info page, medal table, etc.
 
I think this is actually a fun idea, and there are multiple ways we could go about pulling something like this off. I’d be totally down to organize and host the games (and I’d welcome anyone else who’d want to help out). I also think members could contribute in many ways, and I’d be a great way to end a rather lack luster summer.

I encourage people to make their thoughts on the matter known below. As I said above, I think this, or something like it (it definitely doesn’t have to be exactly as I proposed) would be a great event for the community, and I’d be a great way to bring users together for some fun days of competition. So discuss below.

I mean archery/athletics/swimming/fencing would be easy to adapt. Could be creative with the others as well. Soccer you could push a minecart around on rails or something. Sailing could just be a boat race. Biathlon could involve shooting buttons from a distance. 

When I was in high school I made a 'stadium' with four waterways and did an 'inter mob aquatics championships' where I basically measured which mob got to the end of the waterway first. Then I did the same thing with items. I don't remember what the fastest mob or item was, haha. 
But a Totallympics Minecraft Games sounds fun honestly, I'd be down

Martinique ()   has a new flag:
 
Also the flag of Saint Martin () is a hoax and was never used. https://fotw.info/flags/mf.html 
EDIT: Actually @Sindo they don't use any flag besides French. The one I'd linked before is dubious too. So maybe we could just turn ":MAF" into the French flag for now.

The Czech athletes/Staff/federation are not happy at all, Michal Krčmář said this "will be like sex without orgasm" Eva Puskarčíková answered "sex without orgasm and second person"  and criticized the government decision as well
 
 
 
 

I'll do this one. Only because it's our hockey goal song lol
 

Ivona Fialková equalled today her PB finishing in 9th place. The only and last time she was in the top 10 was in the Oslo 2015 World Cup sprint when she also finished on 9th place but then she had 0+0, today she was 0+1 (incredible that without that very last missed target she would likely won bronze lol)
 
At least this may (considering she will be able to repeat +/- this result also in the Pursuit) open her the door also for the Mass Start at the WCh
 
She became today the 9th Slovak biathlete ever to finish in top 10 at WCH (after Mihoková, Halinárová, Murínová, Matiaško, Hurajt, Kuzmina, Gereková and her older sister Paulína)
 
 
but what is the more important is that today, she fulfilled the criterias for inclusion in the Slovak Sport Top Team, ie she will receive extra funding from our Ministry of Education, Sciences and Sports to prepare for the next two seasons (and join her sister there) !!! So happy for her congrats Ivka !
 

That sucks to hear, but we’ll be cheering you on for Cross Country qualification then 

Right, hard to say that the Poles exactly deserved the win here, but also it would not fair to say the opposite, the guys fought really hard and blocked like million of shots, jumping on the shots to block the pucks with their own bodies, huge team effort and team spirit but the main reason of the win was certainly the Best player of the match and best GK of the tournament the GKS Tychy goalie John Murray
