TelegramLive: UkraineNew IOC president seeks talks on Russia’s return to the Olympics Kirsty Coventry, the newly elected president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has expressed her desire to start discussions on reinstating Russia in the Olympics. She pointed to what she sees as an “inconsistency” in the current approach, where “Russia is singled out, while conflicts are happening on its own continent.” Coventry emphasized that she opposes banning countries from the Olympics based on military conflicts. “What I would like to do is create a working group to develop policies and guidelines that we, as a movement, can use when we are drawn into conflicts […] Ultimately, I believe it is best for our movement to have all athletes represented,” she stated. 🪐 To continue the work of Live: Ukraine, even the smallest but regular donations from readers are invaluable: Patreon, PayPal, Cryptocurrency, Bank Transfer

🔥
“According to a brief statement released in the Olympic information system by the World DanceSport Federation, which oversees Olympic breaking, Talash was disqualified for ‘displaying a political slogan on her attire.’

“The cape was a violation of Rule 50 of the Olympic charter, which prohibits political protests or messaging on the field of play at the Olympic Games...”

国別対抗にはうんざり派(?)として、サッカーに関してはちょっとだけいいところがあると思っていて。

W杯やヨーロッパ選手権でご存じの方も多いでしょう、なぜかそこでは「国」ばかりでなく「地方」代表による参加がある。

はい、イングランドとスコットランドとウェールズが別のチーム(つまりは連盟)なことを言っております。この形が他のスポーツにも広がったらいいよね。

Imane Khelif competing in women's boxing not fair, says Hungarian opponent - BBC Sport (2024-08-02)
———

It’s getting worse, with national associations stirring up the mud …

“The Hungarian Boxing Association has protested against Khelif's participation at Paris 2024, and the Hungarian Olympic Committee requested talks with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over the issue.”

Also against the Taiwanese Lin…

“In the quarter-finals, Lin faces Svetlana Kamenova Staneva of Bulgaria on Sunday morning.”

“A Bulgarian Boxing Federation spokesperson added: ‘We believe that athletes should be placed on an equal level in any competition, especially when it comes to the Olympic Games.
"In the case of Imane Khalif and Lin Yu-ting, we see no such equal treatment and strongly oppose their participation.’"

パリ五輪ボクシングでの「性別適格性検査」云々に関して。ワシントン・ポストの記事プレゼント… のはずですが何か変かも。直せたら後で編集します…🙇

この記事によると昨年二名を不適格としたIBA(国際ボクシング協会)の手続きや主張の方が怪しい。まあIOCが正義とも思わないので狢と狐の化かし合いてか…

Gift link. (Tell me if it doesn't work)

I don't have much confidence in IOC, but IBA (International Boxing Association) looks... say... fishy? 🐠

スポーツと感動の話。

歴史的()には、小泉純一郎が首相の頃あちこちスポーツ選手に「感動した!」と言って流行らせたのじゃなかったかな… と朧げに。

ウィキペディアによると
w.wiki/ApRi
2001年5月の大相撲夏場所で優勝した横綱・貴乃花に自ら総理大臣杯を手渡し「感動した! おめでとう」と言ったとある。そして流行語にもなったとさ。

私が覚えていたのはサッカーで、時期的にはじゃあ2002年の日韓W杯かな? 中田英寿を相手に言っていた場面だけれど。

その前から結びつけられていたかもしれないけれど、小泉首相(当時)というトリックスターがガンガン発信したことで、アスリート側も遠慮なく使うようになった、みたいな影響はあったのではないかしら。

Investigation into alleged antisemitism at Olympic football match (BBC, 2024-07-30)
------

The title nerves, but for the incident itself.

"Olympic organisers had lodged a complaint with police, after a "banner bearing a political message was displayed" during a Group D game between Israel and Paraguay on Saturday, a spokesperson said."

"There have been reports of banners and chants during the game that referenced the ongoing war in Gaza.

"Neither the Paris prosecutor's office or Olympic officials have clarified the specifics behind the case.

"During the match some supporters could be seen holding a banner reading: 'Genocide Olympics'".

へえ、と思って#ドイツ語 で調べてみたら、今大会絡みでもそこそこ使われている「平和の祭典」:

Fest des Friedens

… でも1936年ナチス政権下の夏・冬両大会で高々と謳い上げられたようで、いいのかなぁ?
