📌 Fit for the Future: New methodology for determining the Olympic programme
🔹 The IOC EB recommends a discipline-based evaluation of the Olympic programme to better manage costs, operations and programme relevance.
🔹 If approved by the IOC Session, the new Olympic programme methodology would apply from Brisbane 2032 onwards, marking a major shift towards greater flexibility, transparency and sustainability.
🔹 The new Olympic programme review methodology is built around disciplines, reflecting their direct impact on venue planning, operational delivery and cost structures.
🔹 For this purpose, the definition is as follows:
➡️ An Olympic discipline is one or more events within a sport that require either a dedicated field of play or a significant modification of a shared field of play with another Olympic discipline, generally involving a separate group of athletes. ⬅️
🔹 The methodology introduces a consistent, structured process to be applied across all future Olympic Games cycles, ensuring a more objective and transparent approach to programme decisions. It balances three core priorities:
▪️maintaining an appropriate Games size,
▪️ensuring global relevance, and
▪️integrating new opportunities.
🔹The proposed system introduces a clear timeline:
▪️The core programme of sports and disciplines will be confirmed, in principle, seven years before the relevant Games, or at the Session where the host election takes place, whichever occurs later.
▪️The events programme and athlete quotas will be finalised after the previous edition of the Games.
🔹 The IOC Session will be the decision-making authority for the discipline programme.
🔹 Disciplines removed from the programme will remain eligible for future inclusion via the candidate pathway, ensuring a continued development opportunity.

This is genuinely incredible and says SO SO MUCH about the perception of China in the West.
This is the #1 news show in France, and the host - David Pujadas - asks the pundits around the table (a sample of the top media figures in France) if they can name 3 living Chinese people.
That's it: they just need to say the names of 3 living Chinese people, anyone. This should be extremely easy.
Yet not of a single one of them can name a single Chinese beyond Xi Jinping. They do not know a single living Chinese person beyond the president.
That's the level of ignorance of China we're dealing with in the West today, in 2026.

This Odyssey thing has pissed me off so much. And I'm not even Greek.
We've seen this same thing play out so many times over the years - remember everyone insisting Cleopatra was black, or that Vikings had a "diverse" society? I'm sick to death of leftists trying so hard to destroy European cultures.
White populations are entitled to our own unique stories, histories, mythologies that DO NOT INCLUDE non-whites.
And when you make this point and say, "hey, it's shitty to erase white people from their own history", leftists will scream at you that mythology isn't even real, so why do we care?
Well, you guys race-swap our historical figures, too - like casting Anne Boleyn as a black woman, trying to insist Queen Charlotte was black, adding black people to Viking stories, telling us constantly how multicultural ancient Rome and Greece were.
But, the mythology thing, to me, is the worst of all.
Because it means you think you're entitled to fuck with the fabric of European cultures. These narratives often tell a people who they are, where they came from, and what they value.
Some of these mythologies are so impactful and enduring that they have shaped Western art, literature, philosophy, law, identity.
And it's why they continue to be useful today in helping to explain who our ancestors were and what mattered to them.
You don't just get to erase that bc you have diversity quotas????
It is disgusting that dismantling the cultural heritage of white people is so socially accepted.
But, it has gone far enough. And it needs to stop.

IOC mourns the death of IOC Honorary Member Sir Craig Reedie
Sir Craig held a number of leadership positions at the highest levels of international sport, where he helped shape policy, expand global participation and confront some of the most difficult challenges facing the sports world. Among others, he was IOC Vice-President, President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), President of the International Badminton Federation (IBF) – today known as the Badminton World Federation (BWF) – and Chair of the British Olympic Association (BOA).
IOC President Kirsty Coventry said: “Sir Craig dedicated his whole life to the service of sport and the Olympic Movement. He was a steadfast guardian of integrity, guiding the global sporting community through some of its most challenging moments with dignity and resolve. His contribution to the Olympic Games, to clean sport and to the development of athletes worldwide will endure for generations to come.”
