Tomorrow the Tour starts from my hometown

Wouah, that's so funny and edgy !

That's the important part. Combat sports fans are allready well served by the olympic program as it is. Adding Kickboxing would only marginally improving that. If you want to bring newcomers to these sports, only some form of MMA would do it.

I don't see what kickboxing would add to the olympics table ? Money ? No ; Fans ? Not really ? Something new and exciting ? No And it's not like you can have the sport at the olympics without adding a load of extra quotas. Maybe if god-awful TWD was to be kicked out of the olympics (one man can only hope), they might find a way to remplace it, but that's it.

Others seem to enjoy it also

15 years it didn't happen, it was bond to happen eventually But, not necessarily this way

How on eath this cross shit has been validated by IOC ? Did they see it or just heard the pitch from ICF ? It's only a random chaos thing with no spoting values. As @hckošiceputs it, it belongs to Jeux Sans Frontières.

Thanks, I was curious why she was DSQ.

Italy easely won the European Championships last year, is heavely dominating this European Games, more than doubling CONI medals target. At that point, the country is seating on an very healthy 44 medals and 17 golds on the world championships medals table Italian sport is on an amazing upward trajectory. Anything but an historic record of medals and golds in Paris would be a major dissapointment. I'm sorry mate, but you won't be abble to counter-jinx your country out of it

Actually, we did A swiss fencer (Favre) went out on an injury during the SF, before turning again for the final. Apparently, he should have seeked medical consultation for that and that was not the case. Final decision to be made in a few days. https://www.lequipe.fr/Escrime/Actualites/Les-epeistes-francais-ont-porte-reclamation-contre-la-suisse-aux-jeux-europeens-de-cracovie/1405721

Not mine It seem quite clear that the host quotas would have been given only if we had failed to qualify 3 male and 3 female boxers.

Top Meniker, ça fait diablement plaisir de la revoir, je pensais qu'on l'avait définitivement perdue.

Yeah, we reach the italian NOC target ! I'm sorry, but as no one here seems to care enough to have set a target for our team, I have to steal the target from someone else. Hope, you don't mind.

Presque une saison plus tard, est-ce que vous avez de nouveaux noms possiblement à cocher pour Paris auxquels on aurait pas penser il y à un an? (j'ai pas du tout suivi la saison d'athlé)

Has anyone any news about the last badminton double quarter final? Stream is dead and score hasn't moved in 40 minutes or so. Still showed as 'in progress' Edit: it has been updated now.

Yes. They don't appear to be 100% completely random though.

You only had to ask Kanli lost to Oumiha who is securing his third olympics tournament

I'm new to Teqball... Was the point of this sport was to discover the least entertaining possible interration between a ball and two human beings ? If so, it was a great success.

Deriew ( - 66kg) first ever female belgian boxer to represent her country at the olympics

If you were to judge the media attention of these games in your countries vs the European Championships, how would it goes ? In France, I'd sayd, it will rank something like that : - European Championships : 6/10 - European Games : 1/10 (basically World Games tier)

Wouah Meniker winning the high jump . Last time a french high jumper won anything, we were probably living under an other Republic.

Nothing new 😉 It hosted some finals back in the 30's and 40's

That's because, he is not from Angola But seriously, you didn't paid too much attention to the french games if you think so. Lloris have been very solid so far. We have much more worrying weak points (right back and to a lesser degree the left one also)
