Plus fort.

Golf sounds the most likely with Céline Boutier

There are no track in the country (outdoor or indoor). The one from Albertville was converted into an athletic one right after the Olympics.

Some info about the 2030 long track issue. One (new) option could be to use a temporary track in an already existing hall somewhere (anywhere really) and then reuse it as a training facility up into the mountains with limited costs for the french speed track program (which is currently being reinstalled by the roller sports federation). IMO, this would be the best case scenario as a permanent long track rink sounds very much like a dead option (who would want on its territory a huge infrastructure guaranteed to run at a multi-millions loss every year ?)

They are really pushing their luck... First, introducing a sport (or sports) that is (are) nowhere near deserving to be at the olympics for apparently local political reasons, then letting the athletes cap goes wild without concerns for future hosts and now asking for breaking the nation-states basis of participation. God, I wish IOC tells them to fuck off with their silly ideas (not going to happen obv).

AFL doesn't even have a proper World Cup. It's a world festival or something without an australien team. All these sports were and would be perfectly fine as demo sports as we used to have.

I don't see local politics in play with Tokyo and Paris choices. Not to the same degree anyway. Everyone were ok with Tokyo additional sport, they were borderline olympic sports that made sense in a japanese context. Since then, it has been a mess. I guess RL nine is a lock for 2032

That's local politics, which should not be IOC concerns. If IOC validates such a weak international sport, that would be a travesty of the olympic universal ideals.

I had a look at some Lacrosse numbers. Australia is by large the 3rd biggest Lacrosse country in the world with less than 5.000 registered players. I'd be surprised if there are more than 10.000 players worldwide besides the US and Canada. What an amazing deserving olympic sport.

Hopefully, this shit was their moment for many. Hopefully.

We are not talking about the CWGs, these sports are built around the Olympics, you simply can't have any of them on a rotation basis. And really, Judo on rotation ? The issue with martial arts is quite simple anyway, we have the wrong one Taekwondo should never have been an olympic sport to begin with. Without TWD, Karate would have entered the program at some point in the 90's and absolute no one would have asked for the introduction of TWD after.

Une stagiaire à France TV pourra en tirer un article et au moins 12 likes. C'est déjà ça de pris.

What a load of BS... Originally, the additional sports - who were part of the Agenda 2020 program whose sole purpose was to cut costs for the hosts - were a neat idea on paper. They were supposedly be a net-postive for the host using local sports popularity to ease the pain of hosting. Now LA, will have to build a freaking dam cricket stadium somewhere. It was never reported, but it's also very easy to assume Breaking entry for 2024 was IOC Bach's idea and only his. Basically, these additional sports have been turn into a way of expanding the olympic program and adding new sports, potentially huge cash makers for the organisation, without the political cost of dropping other established olympic sports.

They are for 2024. But if we are talking about 2 or 3 team sports for 2028, they probably won't be.

Unless, they have changed the rules again. And the additional sports don't count in the 10,500 athletes limit.

How many athletes do you need to run two 6-teams cricket tournaments ?

And also athletes in established olympic disciplines who are cut because of the quotas limitation (I'm strongly thinking about canoeing slalom here) Honestly, there is little you can do with the current cap of 10,500 athletes and the olympic program as it is. You can tweek it a bit, but really, just a bit.

Definitely cricket, we have a silver medal to take back

So basically a forever rotation between North America / Japan and former british colonies. That's a fantastic idea.

Is there much 'lol' regarding whatever Jumbo is currently doing in the lower countries. Just curious.

Please do list them.

Il n'y a pas que Clouvel, et on devrait repêcher au tour de la 30e place mondiale. Pas besoin de gagner des CDM pour ça. Après avec le niveau qu'elle affiche actuellement...

Ca a l'air pas mal aléatoire aussi. Par exemple, Valentin Prades vainqueur d'une CDM en mai et 27e ce we Pour ce qui est des quotas, on a un garçon (Prades) et une fille (Oteiza) qualifiés. A moins d'un podium aux prochains mondiaux en juin prochain, il faudra suivre le ranking olympique (une douzaine de qualifiés sans doute).
