Rugby League as a fringe sport in Spain and Kenya ? Ok, that's complety BS. In Spain, the sport is about 5 teams around Valencia that plays like 3 or 4 games a year. And is currently not existing in Kenya. I really like the methodology he offers, I'd like to know how he collected the datas though. Some (but not all) are really off.

A medium sport in the US is something like a billion dollar industry, that's not the case for T&F in the US

That's not surpising at all.

It's probably the least BS list you'll ever find on the subject. The guy actually put some thoughts and efforts on it . Crazy ! Edit; there are still some stuff that makes my eyes rolling for exemple: Except for the first two countries and maybe Brazil. I don' see how you could consider AF as a minor in sport in any of this country. Not even a fringe one tbh. I guess, it has a lot to do with Superbowl repports, even if a lot of them threat it like a social event and not a sport's one.

17,440 spectators watched the victory of the french girls iagainst England in Grenoble last night which is an all-time record for a women's game

There was a time when this didn't recquire so many explanation point . Argh...

18.1 seconds for Guigonnat's last shooting

He must be refering to the additional sports from Agenda 2020 that have been inaugurated with Tokyo 2020 right ? If so, this is only about news sports from new - recognised - federations. Or, it's something new entirelly, and then I'm out.

Oh, a french double in 25 meters pistol . That's uncomon. Maybe, even a first ?

Cool final, congrats to our new 1998 national American Football champions: Aix Argonautes

I didn't think it was necessary to write it...

For anyone, who wondered why Fillon-Maillet seemed so out of form at Pyeongchand. He answered it at the end of the press conference today.

The 1998 french american football final. Fantastic stuff. Or not. Thank you weird youtube engine.

I guess, that means from a adminstrative ioc view there is no such thing anymore as "Alpine Skiing" ?

I don't know. In their communication, they are still talking about the "seven winter sports" (here for exemple) (Curling, Skiing, Biathlon, Skating, Bosbsleigh & Skeleton, Luge and Ice hockey). Maybe, they did drop their retarded way of aknowlege "sports" and "disciplines". That would be a relief tbf. Still, I don't think a host can propose a new sport that exists within an allready olympic federation. If anything, only non olympic federations proposed new sports for Tokyo. Possibly, it's different for the winter olympics idk

Heum... Neither Ski Flying nor Telemark are new sports, but would be new disciplines inside an allready existing sport (skiing). It's not up to the host to propose that, but up to FIS. Dog sled racing is not recognised by the IOC and can't be proposed. That leaves only Bandy and possibly ski orienteering (Orientering is a recognised sport, but I don't know if goes for only summer orienteering or to skii orienteering as well).

Every country should do that tbh (even if it means a heavy shortened season). There are not many things less appealing than spending an evening in a heavy chlorine indoor swimming pool in the middle of winter. The guy who decided to move water polo from a summer sport to a winter one should be shot dead (I mean, he should be digged up, shot dead, then burried back)

If anything: She started track cyciling in 2014 only, two years later she was a double junior world champion. I thaught you wanted to postpone this discussion ?

1) Because she was not 100%, recovering from injury (again), making her 2017 results the only ones really worth to be considered. 2) Yes, thank you...

Do any track cyclist peak for anything else than the olympics these days ? Anyway, just have a look at the 2017 WC then if you're not convinced.

She was not 100%, coming back from a shoulder injury. When fit, at the last euro championship in Berlin, she did beat Grabosh in the semi final...

That's very much could be me not using that world properly

I mean that the french boxing association gave him only one suspensive year. (ie as it stands he could fight this year). A very lenient sanction that doesn't fit the french (world ?) anti doping code, and that most definitly be appealed, the code stating that at least one year (a non suspensive year that is) is mandatory in that case.

Well, he is not the first one, neither the last one. Very dubious how the suspensive could not be lifted by the french antidoping agency. Only question, would it be before his next combat the 7th of april.

Suspensive only for now (no shows). AFLD will probably appeal it.
