Olympian1010 7,477 Posted February 7, 2021 #513 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Found an interesting document while surfing through the Olympic Library today. Link: https://library.olympic.org/default/digitalCollection/DigitalCollectionAttachmentDownloadHandler.ashx?parentDocumentId=472325&documentId=472326&skipWatermark=true&skipCopyright=true This would seem to be the final report of a independent expert panel set up by the IOC to examine its human rights role, and suggest policy changes. Very interesting read. NaBUru38 and phelps 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

FFS IOC Definitely concerned about the “physical virtual sports.” I assume they’re referring to the likes of eCycling and Indoor Rowing there. I don’t dislike those as disciplines, but they’re not nearly developed, nor legitimate enough, to have earned a spot on the Olympic program yet. At least with the Winter Olympics there’s an abundance of quotas (comparative to the Summer Olympics). My guess is that Bobsleigh and Skiing will still tough cuts, unless the IOC is just willing to add some more women’s quotas, then everything might be okay for the time being. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Norway will never let that happen. They rule FIS and IOC can't afford to alienate the biggest winter sport nation. Forget about any cuts in cross country skiing. eSports is the new black. I told ya, the 2028 SOG in Los Angeles is perfect time to introduce this crap into Olympic fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
