  1. Decent chance won’t win more than one medal in Paris which would probably cause a major funding cut (Lottery funding is rapidly falling.) and a removal of as a major gymnastics player,
  2. I have a feelings to going to be a bad games for . 40 medals total at the most and some sports doing so badly funding gets removed.
  3. I think the dooojg scandals in the Hurdles will be what could kill these champs.
  4. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1139849/ukraine-russia-paris-2024-clarification 35 countries are planning a boycott of the Paris.
  5. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1139729/verkhovna-rada-ukraine-russia-belarus How many countries will follow that.
  6. Are the IOC prepared in case a President at the time bans certain nations from entering the country to compete. If Trump is President I am skeptical if he would allow countries like Iran and maybe even Cuba and/or China to compete.
  7. Canada pull out of 2030 now so is suspect the end is coming for the Commonwealth Games.
  8. Seems to be quite rare that a doper fails a test in the current day and then fails a retest as well.
  9. GB are deliberately making sure ratings go down. People in the UK love watching Brits yet by having such a small team there are less to watch and interest will wain. The global field of athletics doesn’t really attract viewers at the moment so there are not many non British names who are a draw to the casual audience.
  10. Still think the games will descend into farce because of the inevitable Ukraine and its allies boycotting it.
  11. When will the Chinese swimming team be busted.
  12. Athletics won’t be around in 10 years as Doping will kill off what is left of its viewing figures.
  13. Arguably Swimming in Particular is one of the more expensive sports to host because they are few facilities that are both big enough and have enough seats to not make it seem tiny. Like London still has the Olympic pool but the seating facilities are pretty small and couldn’t really be used for an able bodied world champs or a commonwealth games. (I attended a session of the World Para there in 2019.)
  14. Doesn’t sound like the government are interested as they have urged Australia to find a solution.
  15. The BOA wouldn’t be able to sustain the pressure if the Government and media really pushed them to boycott. It’s not 1980 anymore.
  16. If they are allowed in then a lot of countries will boycott including possibly big nations like the UK.
  17. Didn’t Victoria 2026 until today? There will be multiple state and federal elections before then any of which could see one of the major parties adopt an anti games position to win votes. Social media and the press is full of demands to cancel Brisbane 2032.
  18. And now no state government in Australia will bid for it and they have probably made Brisbane 2032 get the plug pulled soon as well.
  19. feel like every sport being in a different location would be the way to go.
