I have decided to speed up things even more.

 

You can still vote in the Poll #4 - Badminton, Men's Singles. Voting for this event ends on Sunday 9 a.m. CET.

 

https://totallympics.com/topic/12828-imaginary-summer-olympics-poll-4-badminton-mens-singles/

 

But I may not have time to prepare a new poll on Sunday so it's already here.


As I told you earlier, from now on there will be 2-3 polls a week with 3 events in each poll.

 

These are olympic champions in certain events.

Imagine that all these champions are on the top of their game at the very same moment in time.

Who would have won gold?

 

Be aware that the voting ends at Wednesday March 9th, 9 a.m. CET.

 

These pollls are like event start lists, who would win, what you think?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_Greco-Roman_wrestling#Super_heavyweight

 

@thiago_simoes any tips for gymnastics?

 

@hckošice canoe?

 

@MHSN wrestling tips? I have listened to your previous advice and I have decided that first wrestling poll will be Greco-Roman Super Heavyweight, looks like this is the most interesting wrestling event.

 

And one more thing.

 

After a very long deliberation I have decided that because these are our IMAGINARY Summer Olympics in an IMAGINARY world with no wars and no violence, all the former olympic champions from all over the world are allowed to participate. So there will be no ban for Russian or Belarussian or Saudi or North Korea or any-other-NOC-you-may-think-of athletes. Despite what is going on now here in Eurasia and despite my strong belief that ban for Russian and Belarussian athletes in real sports these days is a really good and rightful decision, I think that for the purpose of this series of polls... everyone's invited. These polls need to be fun and relief, a tiny chance to forget about real-life struggles, so that is how I see it.

 

So... let's vote!

not truly an expert, but in the Gymnastics poll I picked :RUS Svetlana Khorkina...I think that at her best she was a class apart, especially in terms of artistic impression, compared to some totally unexpressive executing machines we've seen from time to time...

 

in Slalom Canoeing, it's a really tough battle between the 2 greatest champions in the history of the sport...I have a personal bias, so I picked :SVK Michal Martikan over Tony Estanguet, but it could well be the other way round...

for sure, there's a big hole between those 2 and the rest of the (still amazing) field...

 

in Wrestling, we also have a clash between 2 true titans of the whole world of sport, not only of the discipline...

my pick is still :RUS Alexandr Karelin, imho the second best sportsman overall pound for pound in the entire sports history...

I voted for Kexin. The only one who blends high difficulty and clean execution.

I'm surprised so many people voted for Mustafina. She was clean, but had the most boring routines in the world and could not perform super hard skills. Her routines were basically "easy" to medium skills connected, while Kexin connected unbelievably hard skills. Even Derwael, someone who I'm really not fond of, tried much harder things.

Mustafina's coach explored every breach in the code of points and it's almost unbelievable that she managed to be Olympic champion twice. This almost sounds like a seriously bad joke.

Oh, that’s interesting . Who would be the first, then, in entire sport of wrestling?

I mean the entire world of sports, not only wrestling...:evil:

 

to me, the "Siberian bear" is second only to Michael Phelps, pound for pound...

 

I know it's always wrong to compare different sports and ages, but that's the target of this entire series of polls, it's just a game...

 

so, I feel comfortable playing...and that's my strictly personal opinion...;)

Hmm... I have a small problem with voting for Canoe Slalom C1 now. I was worried this kind of problem will happen sooner or later.

 

At this moment it looks like:

1. Estanguet FRA 2. Martikan SVK 3. Chanut FRA

 

But if these Imaginary Summer Olympics should be some kind of build-up to Paris 2024 games - should we use the nowadays athelete participation criteria? We are not certain how it will look in Paris so for the time being we can use Tokyo 2020 criteria.

 

That means only one athlete per NOC could participate in Canoe Slalom M C1 and there shouldn't be 2 medals for France in this event.

 

And if so, and there is a tie for 3rd place, anyone's vote can give bronze to somebody or I will have to pick the 3rd place by myself when voting ends.

 

What you think?

 

PS. Personally I think that previous rule, until Athens 2004, allowing 2 athletes from one NOC to participate in each individual canoe slalom event was better. But maybe we should stick to nowadays rules.

@hckošice your thoughts on that?

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
