bharathh Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) That said Cricket and Squash may be included in LA 2028. Strangely Lacrosse and Flag Football are also in contention. Sadly no Compound Archery. Given Olympics' fixation on the number of countries playing a sport, how does Flag Football and Lacrosse fit in? https://twitter.com/Olympics/status/1711422895220531421?s=20 Edited October 10, 2023 by bharathh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bharathh Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Thought it would be interesting to track athletes who have qualified for the Olympics by creating a profile for each one so we can estimate how likely they are to win a medal.

bharathh Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 While I agree that there should be parity in terms of money allocated .. it would be interesting to see how much was invested into things like cricket stadia - which Gujarat seems to have a lot of vs other states like Haryana and Punjab which do not. Also, a lot of the medal winners are supported by NGOs like the Olympic Gold Quest, and PSUs like Railways, Indian Army etc. and not by the state federations. So a bit misleading clearly intended to outrage and not inform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
