There are really nothing to celebrate when the allready hyper dominant team is securing an even bigger sponsor...

James Willett has won it, scoring one shot. Congrats Australia.

So Belgium. You know the country. They have a stadium called Roi Baudoin in Brussels. Fine. It hosts the home NT matches and the annual diamond league meeting. Fine. It's a bit old, it's a bit crappy. So they are going to refurbish it. Fine. The thing is. It's between 150 M€ and 200 M€. So it's quite important. The stadium will have a new name. Yes. They are going to call it the 'Golden Generation Arena'. Yes. yes. yes

Live stream of the year 2019. Fascinating.

Manaudou (the male's one) is back https://abonnes.lequipe.fr/Natation/Article/Florent-manaudou-je-reviens/1000169?hootPostID=c610cdcf47d128919fea67cdc0a65c41

So the guy was blood-doping since 2016. What would it take for people to understand that anti-doping policies do not work ?

Basically, leftists becoming hardcore capitalists (just for a couple of days of course) fighting for the right for the shop to sell anything it wants whatever the social consequences might be. A beautifull thing to watch.

Shit is going to hit the fan in Seefeld

Allready 500K tickets sold Organisers are hoping to sell the whole 1.3 millions tickets before tournament kicks off. They are surprised by the amount of foreigners buying tickets.

Just a side note (as it's the second time I see it), but french NOC had nothing to do with it. It was Organisational Committe (COJO) call (with or without IOC friendly advices...)

I thought the core sports list was fixed until 2024 ? http://aroundtherings.com/site/A__61566/Title__No-Changes-in-Core-Olympic-Sports-for-Paris-2024/292/Articles Or are we talking about 2028 allready ?

Can we all stop giving IOC new ideas about new events, please.

I agree to some extent. But eventually, we, the olympic fans, are going to disappear. Any brand need new customers to thrive. So are the Olympics doomed one way ot the other ?

So ok, we all hate this selection. Fine. But, beyond our personal feelings, do you think this new urban/youth sports policy could work ? Will it attract the new audience the IOC is wishing for ?

That sums up pretty much everything.It does make sense.Will it work, is a different question.

Theoretically, yes. But they present it as a done deal really.

Climbing will feature 2 events; speed & combined (lead/bouldering)

Official, now...

Announcement to be made tomorrow morning. Please clear out the streets, some people will be very, very pissed off Brace yourself for the shistorm of our lifes.

Peut-être une très bonne nouvelle pour le sport olympique français: le CNOSF lance - enfin - sa chaîne TV Budget de 2M€ Diffusion sur le plus de canaux possible (y compris web) Media365 en sera l'opérateur (j'aimais assez ce que j'avais vu de leur chaîne à l'époque) http://sportbusiness.club/le-cnosf-choisit-reworld-pour-sa-chaine/

Please someone put Bach face on it...

@phelps @Gianlu33 etc. Apparently, there is a rumour from Italy that Paris 2024 would chose seven sports and let IOC make the final cut. Any italians here heard about that ?

https://www.francetvinfo.fr/sports/jo/jo-2024/info-franceinfo-le-breakdance-pressenti-pour-integrer-le-programme-des-jeux-olympiques-2024-a-paris_3184479.html#xtor=CS2-765-[twitter]- That's the original source. The orginal article is very lacking in details. They've never reported on the subject before that. Paris 2024 was/is still interviewing IFs for inclusion. They get the date of the reveal wrong (21/02). I would still wait for a few days/weeks before starting a new career in mass murdering if I was you.

Two man bobsleigh wize, that may very well be the best french performance ever. Mingeon did won a few world cups but that was in four man bobsleigh.

Still too eraly ?
