Paris 2024 Olympics

A headless Marie-Antoinette in the opening ceremony and a headless goddess of victory in the closing ceremony. Seems like a theme. Well, beheading is still kind of a thing in France ... Yikes.

I mean they have plenty of jihadists

That's what I was referring to. Sad and terrible thing.

[Guest]

Sorry to add another softball post, but the movie to Oklahoma City makes a lot of sense. The stadium they will be using hosts the NCAA (college) championship series every year so they will be able to handle the crowds and all the teams.

I'm happy to see softball/baseball make a return in LA.

[Guest]

I’m not so sure Khelif has any sort of DSD. Might just be a full on man, known man and all that, and Algeria are doing this to see if the west will allow a man in the women’s category as long as he claims to be a woman and produces the right documentation. As the post says, it’s trolling.

[Guest]

I read track & field will be up first for LA instead of swimming. Apparently it's because they want to use SoFi stadium for the opening ceremony and also for swimming. I'll say a good thing about LA is they don't really have to build any new venues. The only ones they don't really have is softball (UCLA's field I believe only holds 2K) and a kayak venue, so they shipped them to Oklahoma City instead lol

Maybe a stupid question but isn’t a softball field and a baseball field the same thing? Are they going to start being Olympic sports?

A softball field has smaller dimensions. For example, in baseball there's 90 feet between bases and in softball there are 60 feet.

Thanks. Sometimes I wonder if women’s football wouldn’t benefit from some adaptations too, like a smaller field, smaller goal, shorter games. Lots of sports do it, maybe even most.

Gymnastics have completely separate disciplines. In athletics lower hurdles, heptatlon instead of decatlon, the throwing implements weigh half as much as for the men. In handball a smaller ball, in basketball lower baskets, in volleyball a lower net.

But in football everything is exactly the same as in the sport originally created for men and the female players get injured at a staggering rate.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with adapting the sport a little bit to what suits women and women’s bodies better. You don’t get a direct comparison to men then but you don’t need one, that’s the point of having separate categories.

[Guest]

Wouldn't it be problematic with adjusting the fields? I mean the good thing about it is any girl can practice and play using the same existing fields and equipment that the boys use. Wouldn't it cost too much for small clubs to buy in seperate equipment? I'm afraid it would lead to less investment in girls.

SPOILERSPOILER

They're trolling the West & mocking its weakness.

It has been so clear from their interviews and statements. Dripping with contempt towards the West who may deserve this due to weakness and self-destructive smug idiocy.

They did play by the very global/Western rule and know that stupid masses soon forget

There have been jihadist beheadings in France in recent times actually. A priest was beheaded, and a teacher. I didn’t realise they were just trying to adopt the French culture of brutal killings from the 1700’s and 1800’s.

It’s not only French culture though. The jihadists have that culture in their home countries too.

da. I'm not the one who brings up misogyny/sexism/feminicide in everything I see (as a classical art lover, one can find endlessly if one wants to...) and do love the beautiful Niké sculpture (found head/armless; not deliberately beheaded/chopped figure) in its place there at the Louvre (so, representing France somewhat, despite different origin),

but this intentional choice of celebrating headless women at both ceremonies did make me annoyed, disgusted. Have there jihadist beheadings (other than honour killings within families) in Europe other than France?

Idk when I watch college softball they usually have their own softball field. They're already in Tokyo.

Exactly. It doesn't help that a gay man is responsible for this. Behind their "gurl" culture gay men are pretty misogynistic and have plenty of contempt for women.

Someone please explain to me why Jordan Chiles lost her medal like I am a 5 YO. I need to understand and I confess I'm not a gymnastics fan.

• Jordan was initially given a score of 13.666, putting her in 5th place. Romania's Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea both scored 13.700. USA coach submitted an inquiry on her score which judges initially approved, resulting in a 0.1pt boost (enough to put her in bronze medal position).

• Romanian side appealed the decision, asked CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) for a review on various things. One being the timing of USA inquiry being too late (inquiries need to be submitted within 1 minute of rulings). Another inquiry was on Sabrina, stating she should've received a total score of 13.800. Funnily enough, even with the Sabrina appeal, their appeal request was actually to have all three athletes receive a bronze medal.

• CAS investigated, dismissed the request of joint bronze, and ruled that USA submitted the inquiry 4 seconds too late. Therefore Jordan's 0.1pt boost would be the only thing considered void.

• Jordan's score is reverted back to the original ruling so she's no longer in the bronze medal position. CAS investigation concluded that medals need to be assigned in accordance with their decision. This means Jordan loses her medal.

• USA side have submitted evidence that they made inquiry well within 1 minute.

Sadly it is the athletes being punished and bullied online for the judges' poor decisions.

QTA: Soccer venues haven't been officially decided yet, but the plan is to use stadiums in San Diego, San Francisco, and Stanford's football stadium as well as the stadiums in the LA area.

LA may not have the history of Paris, but at least beach volleyball will be played on an actual beach

Just an observation: Paris may have been rich in history and culture, but the two ceremonies have been boring. So much going on, and yet no one seemed to care. It was incoherent at times, some segments were enjoyable enough for those who were able to get it, and most of the time you can't help but think they missed the mark. It's all about the creative team who conceptualized their vision for the games. Like Danny Boyle and his team for the very much loved and very much lauded London ceremonies. So, I hope the LA team would take note.

Also, if you want to showcase the true character of LA, show them the rich history of its main economy -- entertainment and the history of Hollywood. From the silent era to the birth of the big studios and Hollywood honchos. From the creation of old Hollywood glamour and celebrities to the stars that we know of today. From the golden age of cinema to the indies and Hollywood blockbusters that we love. I mean Tom Cruise already got the ball rolling. If London was dubbed as the Rock & Roll Olympics, then LA could be the ultimate entertainment Olympics. Now who could possibly envision this and direct this?

Speaking of Tom Cruise, I would love to see insane stunts in the ceremonies. Showcase those behind the scenes heroes in movies -- the stunt men and women. What I don't want to see though are hundreds of women twerking and gyrating to hip hop. A girl can dream.

This comparison is being made prematurely. Come back in 20 years time and then compare male vs female injury rates once elite female footballers have had the benefit of their entire career being moulded around tailored physical preparation.

As things stand, sports science itself is only just beginning to truly understand the human body, and methods being put into practice on the back of this understanding are largely modelled on male bodies. If female fooballers are lucky, at best their training methods will be adapted from the male model, but they won't truly benefit from improved sports science until it models specifically for female bodies. And even then, the difference female modelling will make won't truly be seen in the players themselves until we get to the generation of female footballers who were provided with optimal training methods from the very first day they arrived at an academy in an under 7s team. The current generation of female footballers started their careers with substandard training and only got the benefit of marginally improved resources and practices deep into their careers, when it was already too late to have properly trained their bodies for the sport they play.

Good observation. Paris ceremonies were uninspired. Idk why the hell the hire some randos for this big event. Lack of funding? Danny Boyle knew what he's doing.
Meh I think LA is gonna be the same shit show like Paris. Plenty of drag queens. And twerking.

Baseball/Softball is back in for 2028, yes. Along with cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash.

Breakdancing stays. There were some issues that needed to be sorted out with modern pentathlon and weightlifting before the IOC would grant those sports permission to stay. The horse event in modern pentathlon is being dropped for obstacle course racing.

The existing agreement that allows boxing to be in the olympics only ran until 2024 and the IOC has delayed its decision on whether to retain the sport. The IBA remains out of favour with the IOC and the IBA's 'replacement' governing body is only a year old so there are concerns over whether it would have the reach to oversee a competition. Amateur boxing basically has no governing body right now.

Paris has proved, yet again, that they just can't organize a big event properly.

or maybe you just have a non-French vision.
from a historical (and French) point of view, Marie Antoinette's severed head is a symbol of a revolution. I'm not saying it's right, I'm not here to rewrite history, I'm just saying that it's rooted in French culture and it's not surprising that it's been represented.

Da. No I agree with the former anon. If the part of your culture and history you choose to lift up is the beheading of women that’s not a great look, especially not in the so called women friendly Olympics.

Marie-Antoinette wasn’t even a reigning queen. She was a queen consort, married to the king, Louis XVI. He was the monarch, she was his spouse. He was executed and beheaded too and I assume there’s a statue of him as well. So were a lot of other men. I’d say the vast majority of people executed in the French revolution were men.

It’s even often been common to spare women when there’s been mass executions in history. Killing women en masse was seen as uncivilized, especially if their crime was to be married to the man who commited the crime.

So using a woman as a symbol for the tyranny that the French revolution rose up against, I’d say that’s misogynistic in itself, because women weren’t in power. It’s one woman who became the symbol of a rule upheld by men.

Paris managed to have the most boring opening and closing ceremonies in history, not even the athletes stayed until the final.

The problem is cost, a lot of schools don't invest in softball because they don't have space or money for an entirely separate pitch. That's why softball in the US is so underfunded and has pretty much no professional league unless you count Athlete's Unlimited which pays so badly that the star player has to supplement her income by playing for a men's exhibition baseball team. That's the biggest barrier stopping womens sports changing the rules from mens. Some sports it's super easy, volleyball lowering the height of the net is easier than basketball lowering the height of the basket (you're confusing the 3pt line, basket height is the same for women). If it's too expensive then the biggest loser will be women because they will have fewer opportunities to play.

BS that she ruined it for everyone. They’re trying to blame the participant for qualifying for the event? The committee who set up the qualifying rules messed up and ruined it if anyone did.

Are they saying a marathoner who took too long ruined that event? A wrestler who got bested in less than a minute?

They’re trying to rewrite the narrative and get people talking about that instead of what was really ruined, the events in which the IOC allowed XY males to participate as women.

Thank you the mentally ill and their fervent allies for this norm you have created.

Just like everywhere, theatre, events, groups, bathrooms, men's spaces get called and are only reserved for men;

Whereas women's spaces and names all get destroyed and became garbage can to absorbe all folx. Never standalone "women" but this obligatory "women trans nonbinary".

Maybe Olympics will soon follow the trailblazer (#Can[strikethrough]W[/strikethrough]NT / #Can[b]X[/b]NT) and only change the name women as XXXen.

The only and real unisex category in pro-sports has always been men's. It's not sane men's fault that 'non-men' who also belong in men's sports never bother. You know why their category name remains intact when so-called protected exclusive category of women gets mutilated.

BTW if you're interested in who are the lezzies/real bis, how many are, how many took medals, don't bother. Sports version of Pinknews have zero mention of any but endless repetition of just "LGBTQ athletes" all over.

[Guest]

Breakdancing was already not submitted by LA for the '28 Olympics. They went with five other sports instead (Flag football, squash, lacrosse, baseball, and softball). She didn't ruin anything.
