    Eden Park has always been (also) a cricket ground. They kept cricket in mind when they refurbished it for the 2011 RWC. It's hardly comparable with regular rectangle stadiums around the world. And there are not many cities who would have a somewhat decent athletic stadium on top of their olympic stadium. There are no way around it. Having cricket in the olympic program would be a major issue for many of the possible future hosts.

    You seem to care that some people actually care...

    Wouah Trinidad, St-Kitts AND St-Lucia ? Amazing !

    So on, indeed. Basically, everything except of team sports, road cycling, tennis, golf and once every two years athletics and swimming is dead as far as general audience is concerned. That's why, I think it's very weird to argue about the comparative mass appeal of different olympic sports. It really doesn't matter.

    France was represented at the last WC (and even win some matches). AFAIK, we have one active club in the whole country. It's crazy how every minimum global standard for olympic inclusion have been throw out of the window under Bach regime and its additional sports program...

    The “fundamental principle” is not only a principle on paper it's what make the winter games fundamentally distinctive and what it makes that the event works. If you cut it, you'll end up with a selection of random sports that are simply not good enough for the summer olympics. In other words, it's called the World Games. Everyone is included, but no one care.

    My fear is that every sports/disciplines not on the program will see it as a way in, and we end up with the World Games + Ski&Ice

    Apparently, World Athletics is pushing (again) for Cross Country to be included at the Winter Olympics (in french) https://stadion-actu.fr/le-cross-country-aux-jeux-olympiques-dhiver-en-2030/

    Greater China WINNER

    Hardly, it was out before the Tokyo Games happened...

    Doest it matter ? Should it ? I mean, the vast majority of olympic events are shit TV products anyway that no one watch outside of the Olympics.
  13. De_Gambassi
    If anything, that's more the other way around
  14. De_Gambassi
    Doesn't make it less unknown by the general public. I'g guess that 99.9999% of the french population wouldn't know that we had been world champion in flag football.
  15. De_Gambassi
    Actually, the event exists and made its debut during the last PanAm Games. Can't find much of comments on how it went.
  16. De_Gambassi
    First ever win in our domestic Tour
  17. De_Gambassi
    Our first World Championsip post Paris then. Time to go back to work and study what the rules of this sport are
  18. De_Gambassi
    I think that exactly what Bach had in minds when he came up with idea of additional sports for Tokyo . At least, Rogge managed to keep in check the sports program.
  19. De_Gambassi
    Yes, that would be great... I don't really understand the need for secrecy neither. IIRC, 17 'disciplines' (in IOC jargon) were proposed for LA, but i was never revealed which ones.
  20. De_Gambassi
    For some reason, they didn't for Paris https://swimswam.com/fina-reportedly-not-proposing-adding-stroke-50s-for-paris-2024/
  21. De_Gambassi
    World Aquatics is pushing (again) to enter the 50m strokes to the program I wonder what other events other federations are currently lobbying for
  22. De_Gambassi
    Une petite stat qui fait du bien (non). En moyenne, les coureurs étrangers présent au Mondiaux 2022 et aux Jeux ont amélioré leur temps sur les qualifs en vitesse de 0.281 seconde, les coureurs français, eux, ont amélioré leur temps de 0.097 seconde. Marie-Divine Kouamé nous sortant même un temps moins bon en 2024 qu'en 2022 (c'est la seule...)

    Un bon article sur le déclin de la piste française https://www.directvelo.com/actualite/114979/la-lente-degringolade-du-sprint-francais Et le passage de Rousseau sur RMC https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/jeux-olympiques/jo-2024-ils-n-ont-pas-voulu-nous-ecouter-florian-rousseau-tacle-les-pistards-apres-leur-echec_AV-202408130525.html Bref

    Et cela ne date pas que de Paris. Depuis 2000, on est à 39% de victoire en finale un contre un. Je pense que ça démontre un problème de fond.
  25. De_Gambassi
    Yeah, probably
