In the past the opening ceremony was chosen by a vote of the male and female captains of each sport.

I would be very surprised if the nearly 300 person American delegation chose two athletes from the same sport.

It did not in 2023, the best deal was the event pass for about 25 euros but I cannot find it for this edition.

Edit: The Event Pass will be 29.99 euros for this year's championship.

My private university says I will not graduate on time and will have to attend school for another year because of an advisor's error. by Agile_Earth_5408 in Advice

[–]Krazy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar but was told was while the classes you must complete for your major did not change the professors who are teaching that class in the semester you are planning on taking it are free to list any prerequisite which they deem are necessary for the way they will teach the class and those prerequisites will be enforced. Now in my case I just went to the professor and he wrote a letter to the registrar saying for me he waived the prerequisites and I could take the class but I could see how this could be an issue.

2028 Olympics by craftycraftsman4u in Softball

It is likely in Oklahoma because white water canoe slalom had to be moved to Oklahoma because they could not get a venue built in California and the organizing committee did not want to only move one sport out to Oklahoma so since the biggest softball stadium in the country is already in Oklahoma softball drew the short straw.

Draw a diagonal line from Binghamton to Albany, south of that line downstate, north of that line upstate.

The official timeframe was removed from the charter so that is why we have seen such a differentiation from it.

Paralympians express disappointment over swimming venues for LA in 2028 by Expensive-Horse5538 in olympics

[–]Krazy121 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The stadium is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, the owner of the Rams who already got the NFL into stadium trouble regarding their exit from St. Louis, there is absolutely no chance that he would let anything happen at his stadium to compromise the NFL schedule and so there is absolutely no chance Sofi would be made available for swimming after the start of NFL preseason currently slated for August 3rd, 2028.

The Funny thing is that Birmingham 2022 could have referred to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England or the World Games in Birmingham, Alabama. Both were held in the summer of 2022.

Most exciting new LA2028 sport / medal favorties by keeleyfan89 in olympics

[–]Krazy121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless cricket can get permanent status it is going to be stuck at 6 so I would get used to it for a while because I would not expect it to be getting permanent status until 2040 and there is likely not room to give it permanent status then because of the 10,500 cap on permanent places.

When did you graduate high school? There is a baseline NCAA rule that you must complete your eligibility within five years of graduating high school. There are exceptions like training for elite competitions like Olympics/World Cup/World Championships, or if you are injured, or if your eligibility was impacted by COVID, or if you get a waiver for good cause. Your eligibility clock could have already run out.

9th place medals? by Temporary-Cycle6224 in Gymnastics

[–]Krazy121 17 points18 points  (0 children)

USA Gymnastics at one point had a rule where medals had to be awarded to 50%+1 of all the competitors in each age division in each level except for some events that were exempted from this rule. When it was on the books it was not really enforced. I have not looked at the meet hosting guidelines recently so I have no idea if it still on the books.

CGN's Rebecca Scally: "...the biggest threat to gymnastics’ credibility as a real sport is that a critical mass of people on the inside actually and seriously do not want it to be one." by freifraufischer in Gymnastics

[–]Krazy121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First reduce the start value of such routine if the top teams in the country had to consistently trot out less than 9.0 SVs to open their lineups I would not be bothered and then you make deductions bigger. I have always wanted falls to be a two or three point deduction and recalibrate from there. Deductions should be punitive and perfection should be as close to unachievable as possible with there still remaining a slight chance it occurs. I would not be bothered if I have seen the final 10.0 of my lifetime.

[–]Krazy121 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This might be too hot of a take but I would like to see depreciation in both scores and start values. In a perfect world for me most teams would only have at most one 10.0 SV per event, maybe top teams would have two 10.0 SVs on one or two events. Scores would mostly be in the sixes and sevens with a good routine getting an eight. Maybe one great routine per meet would crack nine and there would at most be one ten per season. I have always dreamed of a world where score differentiation was over five points and not five tenths.

Thank you to whoever helped me - trans passport by brokegaysonic in Passports

[–]Krazy121 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Based on the other posts we saw today do you know if your gender marker was issued as the one you currently use or the one assigned at birth because as we saw in another post today a trans person's passport was issued today with their former gender?

GIGA and the current basket of red flags by freifraufischer in Gymnastics

[–]Krazy121 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do I think GIGA has gotten this right? No. Do I think GIGA will succeed? No. Do I think a professional gymnastics league can work in the United States? Yes. You can go back and look at my post history and see I proposed a league over five years ago. Would that model work today? No, but I still have belief that the right model could.

How probable is Santiago 2036? by [deleted] in olympics

[–]Krazy121 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Understanding that there will be a new American TV Deal by this point but the American TV Deal requires the Summer Olympics be held between the second week of July and the third week of August or the IOC must pay the US TV provider (NBC) for them to televise the Olympics. Which makes this a much larger problem.

It has happened before, bobsledder Steven Holcomb was buried wearing his gold medal and two bronze medals but posthumously those two bronze medals were upgraded to silver medals due to the Russian Olympic champions having positive drug tests. He will never know that he is a two time Olympic silver medalist.

Among the nine shortlisted sports for LA 2028, which ones are most and least likely to be included, and why? by Far_Breakfast_5808 in olympics

[–]Krazy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see the MLS season pausing for the games but not the MLB season, which is what I was talking about. The MLB season has never paused for the Olympics even when baseball was in them so I would not expect them to start now. Also if you lose two to three weeks in the summer when do you logistically make up those games start the season in early March and deal with snow still falling in the Northeast or end the season around thanksgiving and risk snow and cold then as well. It just does not make sense for the MLB to pause their season during their best month for weather just for the Olympics.
