Personal Theory about Kevin Mayer. He hates is family, and he secretly wants them to die of a heart attack. Edit: They know :

Mais putain Kevin

La FFA a t-elle dit ce qu'elle allait faire ? A mon avis, la pression populaire sera trop forte pour ne pas prendre quasi tous les qualifiables. Edit : les critères de sélection https://www.athle.fr/asp.net/main.html/html.aspx?htmlid=6636 Si Top 24 au ranking, vous êtes sélectionnables par défaut, sinon à la gueule du client (avec une prime à la jeunesse).

Faudra voir les rankings après Rome. Mais, il y en a un paquet de déjà qualifiables via le ranking. On aura peut-être une équipe record.

And he made great use of it ! 13.88, huge PB and on his way for the olympic standards and possibly a podium

Ce thread mériterait d'être updaté Selon wiki, nous sommes à 43 quotas + 4 relais sur 5. Et sans compter ceux qui se qualifieront au Ranking ! Edit: premier post à jour.

Gletty gets a rerun !

There should be a giant poster with every Paris 2024 qualification entries in our national broadcaster studio, because they are really clueless

Considering the number of decathlons he actually achieved in his carrer, I'd say he is still a U23 athlete

The Paris Olympics won't be held in France

Come the fuck on EAA Every false starts gets a yellow here, and this DQ the easy winner of the race.

It's too late to matter with the second roumd two weeks before the Olympics, but it will definitely no help to create a good atmosphere...

Boris Neveu will most likely (but with our federation you never know) be awarded the extra male quota. Hopefully, at 38, it's finally this tome to shine at the olympics (even at a clown event)

They had 3 years to make this looks a bit less Jeux sans Frontières quality. They really failed, did they ?

Yeah, a fully open pyramid is a luxury that very few sports and countries can afford because you need a shit load of well supported clubs all across the divisions (so basically football in England and Germany). The rest is cheating its way with different tricks (wild cards, licences, stadiums requirements, etc.)

Again, but you do have a closed market for professional football in the Netherlands

Well at the end of the day, mistake or not, the athlete did use a performance-enhancing drug. And really, this is about incentives, because at the moment, there are barely any for an athlete not to dope (unlikely chance to get caught, great chance to cheat the system anyway, and in worst case scenario, a relative lenient sanction)

You d'on't have a football pyramid in the Netherlands (or didn't, not sure where it stands today)

Rebuild the Euroleague from scratch with the aim of two divisions of ~20 teams each (East and West), without national leagues participation, salary floors and caps all across the board and a heavy emphasis on financial fair play. Plus a traditional elimination cup on top of that. Generally speaking, most national leagues for team sports in Europe make zero sense. They were okish in an amateur aera, but not today. They are not competitive and are totally dominated by one or two teams and are for the most part a shit product. NA leagues are much better in this regard. We should look at cross-countries or continental leagues.

Life ban for any doping offence as an athlete, coach, director or whatever. Your only way out is to give everyone up and reject your right to appeal Also, remove entirely the anti doping policy from federations and national interests hands.

It happened a lot back in the days. Including at RG. https://www.rolandgarros.com/fr-fr/photo-gallery/boxe-les-combats-precedents-histoire?photo=4 But obviously, you can't have that anymore with TV scheduling and whatnot.

Yes for snowboarding as a demonstration sport for Doha 2036 !

Olympics wise, I would Split the summer Olympics in two (outdoor and indoor or whatever) Allow a shit load of mew quotas Let every sports have up to two representatives per country per event Drop the additional sports thing and bring demonstration sports back (up to two sports let's say) as full medals events

Interesting that EPO is still around ... ant that people can still very easely get away with it.
