LA28 proposes five additional sports for Olympic Games in 2028

LA28 proposes five additional sports for Olympic Games in 2028

Whoever wins Sunday's Jannik Sinner-Taylor Fritz U.S. Open men's tennis final will say he won a "Grand Slam," and the media will hype it that way. But that doesn't make it true. Why do tennis people and the media call every major title won a Grand Slam? Tennis and golf used to be similarly intelligent and hyperbole-free in this area. In tennis and golf, there are at least four major tournaments every year (women's golf has five) and the opportunity for a player to win a Grand Slam by capturing every major title in the same year. That's what a Grand Slam is. The difference is golf doesn't feel a need to hype its players by calling every major title a Grand Slam. Nobody in golf says Jack Nicklaus has 18 Grand Slams and Tiger Woods has 15. They know better. They know that the only Grand Slam in golf history was achieved by Bobby Jones in 1939. People in golf give Jones's achievement the reverence it deserves. The only tennis Grand Slams have been achieved by Don Budge (1938), Maureen Connolly (1953), Rod Laver (1962, 1969), Margaret Court (1970) and Steffi Graf (1988). Each player won every major title in the same year. Yet tennis people don't give these accomplishments the reverence they deserve. Instead, they cheapen them by calling every major title a Grand Slam. Why not just have Oprah host every trophy ceremony? Then have her shout, "You get a Grand Slam! You get a Grand Slam!" There's a Serena Williams commercial in which she claims to have 23 Grand Slams. She doesn't have any. She never won four major titles in the same year. (She could have in 2015, but she lost at the U.S. Open after winning the first three majors.) Tennis people and tennis media have concocted the term "calendar Grand Slam" for the true Grand Slam holders while misinforming the public by saying Novak Djokovic has 24 Grand Slams. Wrong. Because of ESPN's HypeCenter and other outlets for sports exaggeration, things are not likely to change. I wish tennis showed as much respect for history and tradition as golf does. I know I'm fighting a losing battle. But if you've read this far, you now know the name Maureen Connolly, the first woman ever to win a Grand Slam. You would think that the people running tennis would name something of significance after her. Instead, most of them probably don't know she ever existed. Therein lies the problem. #tennis #usopen #golf #media

LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games proposes five additional sports for Olympic Games in 2028 Following its review of the LA28 Organising Committee's proposal, the IOC's Olympic Programme Commission will issue a recommendation to the IOC Executive Board. If accepted, it will then be presented to the IOC Session for approval. Five sports have been proposed by the LA28 Organising Committee for inclusion at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028, pending approval from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). If approved, the final event programme and number of athlete quotas in the additional sports will be finalised in the future. Of the five proposed sports, three have previously been sports contested at the Olympic Games: baseball-softball (1992–2008 and 2020), cricket (1900), and lacrosse (1904 and 1908). Unlike its only previous appearance at the Paris 1900 Games, cricket will not be contested as a two-innings-a-side competition. Instead, the proposal foresees a limited-overs Twenty20 format for the event. The proposed format for lacrosse is Lacrosse Sixes. Lacrosse appeared in consecutive Games in the early 20th century, with Canada winning both gold medals awarded in the sport. Baseball-softball, meanwhile, was most recently included on the Olympic programme at Tokyo 2020 in 2021, where hosts Japan won both gold medals. “LA28’s proposed sports ignite the imagination on the field of play and drive culture off it. They’re relevant, innovative and community-based, played in backyards, schoolyards, community centers, stadiums and parks across the U.S. and the globe,” said LA28 Chairperson Casey Wasserman. “They will bring new athletes to the Games, engage diverse fanbases and expand the Games’ presence in digital spaces, further amplifying LA28’s mission to deliver an unparalleled experience.” They are baseball-softball, cricket, flag football (a limited-contact version of American football), lacrosse, and squash #la28 #summer2028 #olympicgames #losangelesca #fiveadditionalsports #sportsindustry #loc #baseball #softball #flagfootball #lacrosse #squash

Sports?? Volleyball is a team sport where two teams of six players each try to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court. It involves skills like serving, passing, setting, attacking, and blocking. Volleyball has different variations, including sitting volleyball, which is designed for athletes with disabilities, particularly those with lower limb impairments. Additionally, there are variations like "footvolley," a mix of soccer and volleyball played on a beach with a volleyball net and soccer rules, except using hands only. The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) is the international governing body for the sport, overseeing various competitions like the FIVB Volleyball World Championships and the Olympic volleyball tournaments. Volleyball has a rich history, and its popularity continues to grow globally. Certainly! Volleyball is typically played indoors, but there's also beach volleyball, which is a popular variant played on sand. The game involves a rotation system, where players move positions after winning a rally. Scoring is based on rallies, and the first team to reach a certain point total (usually 25 or 21 points) wins a set. Volleyball is known for its fast-paced and dynamic nature, requiring teamwork and quick decision-making. It's played at various levels, from recreational leagues to professional competitions. [12/11, 12:37 PM] ?????????: Certainly! Volleyball has some unique positions, each with distinct roles. The positions include: 1. Outside Hitter (Left Side Hitter): Usually the primary attacker, positioned on the left side of the net. 2. Opposite Hitter (Right Side Hitter):Positioned on the right side, often responsible for blocking and attacking from the right. 3. Middle Blocker: Plays at the net's center and is key in both blocking opponents' attacks and quick offensive plays. 4. Setter:The playmaker who sets the ball for attackers. They touch the ball most often, coordinating the team's offense. 5. Libero: A defensive specialist wearing a different color jersey, allowed to substitute freely for back-row players and cannot attack the ball above the net. 6. Defensive Specialist:Similar to a libero but without as many restrictions, often specialized in defensive skills. The synergy among these positions is crucial for a team's success. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
