Discover 5 Insights on Why Men’s #Olympic #Soccer Is an Under-23 Tournament Men’s Olympic Soccer: As athletes finish up their plans for Paris, the 2024 Olympic Games are coming up quickly. As athletes finish up their plans for Paris, the 2024 Olympic Games are coming up quickly. Men’s football, which has been one of the most interesting sports at this year’s event, is likely to have a new champion after Brazil, which has won gold at the last two Olympics, failed to qualify. In contrast to the women’s #football #tournament, the men’s tournament will be made up of #U23 teams from each #country. That means that many of the biggest stars in the world won’t be playing. However, there will be three spots open for players over the age of 23… What is the reason for the U-23 tournament in Men’s Olympic Soccer? The main reason why men’s Olympic #football is a U-23 event is to make the #FIFA #WorldCup less competitive. Since its beginning, the World Cup has been the most important men’s #international football tournament, and FIFA wants to make sure it stays at the top. Also, clubs usually don’t let their players play in both the Olympics and the Euros or Copa America. This is why there aren’t many international stars taking the three spots on each roster for players 23 and older. Click here for more info... https://lnkd.in/gCDrnBev

We are still navigating the aftermath of Paris 2024 and we already have news for the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028: BREAKING, a debutant in Paris but which failed to stay in the Olympics, comes out, and SQUASH and FLAG FOOTBALL enter, a sport with many similarities with American Football in a more accessible version with less physical contact. Three more sports will be back: BASEBALL which was in Barcelona in 1992, SOFTBALL, a variant of Baseball played in a much smaller area and, finally, CRICKET which was only present in Paris 1900! The news continues, World Athletics and the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games have made a striking change to the first week's schedule, placing athletics at the forefront of the upcoming Olympic Games. This change is expected to further captivate the public and highlight the commitment to innovation in athletics. Now that we know all this and it won't be until 2028 that we have FUTSAL, considered the fourth most practiced sport in the world, and ROLLER HOCKEY, a sport much appreciated in Latin countries, only invited as an exhibition sport in Barcelona 1992, will Brisbane 2032 invite and establish these modalities in the Olympics? #Olympics #LA28 #Brisbane2032 #PROPLAYER #Sports

Host Nation Performance at the Summer Games #Paris2024 is officially underway! The soccer and rugby tournaments start today, and the International Olympic Committee – IOC will take center stage for the next few weeks. It is often reported that host nations perform better at the Games. This has been the case in recent years: when comparing host nations to their performance at the previous Games, hosts get more medals: #London2012 - 51 UK medals in 2008, 65 UK medals in 2012 #Rio2016 - 17 Brazil medals in 2012, 19 Brazil medals in 2016 #Tokyo2020 - 41 Japan medals in 2016, 58 Japan medals in 2021 However, one metric is often overlooked: these host nations send more athletes. In fact, due to a rise in athlete counts, all three previous hosts saw their medal per athlete drop during their host year: #London2012 - 0.16 medals/Olympian in 2008, 0.12 medals/Olympian in 2012 #Rio2016 - 0.07 medals/Olympian in 2012, 0.04 medals/Olympian in 2016 #Tokyo2020 - 0.12 medals/Olympian in 2016, 0.10 medals/Olympian in 2021 After earning 33 medals in 2021, France will need 50 from their 573 current Olympians to outperform their Tokyo medal/athlete rate. Can they be the first hosts to outperform their pre-hosting medal rate in a generation?

Japan's U-23 national team is set to compete in the Asian final qualifiers starting on the 15th of this month in Qatar, with the goal of securing their eighth consecutive Olympic appearance.

Although I haven't had good personal results, I want to channel my frustration and score goals in the final qualifiers."

🏀 The Olympic Basketball Showdown: Can These 3 Teams Challenge Team USA for Gold? 🏆 As we approach the 2024 Paris Olympics, the excitement around men’s basketball is palpable. Team USA, boasting a roster of elite NBA talent, is the heavy favorite to secure gold. However, the landscape of international basketball is evolving, and three teams are emerging as serious contenders to challenge the American dominance. 1. Canada: 🇨🇦 Canada has shown impressive form with a perfect 3-0 record so far, defeating Greece, Australia, and Spain. Led by RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Jamal Murray, this Canadian squad combines young talent with seasoned experience, posing a significant threat to Team USA. 2. Germany: 🇩🇪 Germany, also undefeated with a 3-0 record, has impressed with victories over Japan, Brazil, and France. Dennis Schröder, Franz Wagner, and Daniel Theis are key players contributing to their success. Germany’s tactical approach and strong defense could make them a formidable opponent. 3. Serbia: 🇷🇸 Despite a narrow loss to Team USA, Serbia remains a powerful contender with a 2-1 record. Led by Nikola Jokić, Serbia’s resilience and strategic play could turn the tide in their favor. Jokić’s exceptional performance and leadership are crucial to their success. Why It Matters: With these teams showing strong performances and potential, the path to gold for Team USA is far from guaranteed. The international basketball landscape is increasingly competitive, and these teams are equipped to challenge the American supremacy.

Alba Torrens: “We continue to resist, we continue to revolutionize” | Paris 2024 Olympic Games The six-time Euroleague champion and nine-time medal winner with the Spanish national team doesn’t want to stop. Alba Torrens will turn 35 on August 30, has renewed her contract with Valencia Basket for another season and is still going strong with Spain, captain of a team that will be looking to reach the semi-finals of the Games this Wednesday against Belgium (14:30). The forward from Benisalem (Mallorca) has played 205 games with the national team, but as if it were 1,000. She continues “with the enthusiasm of a child.” Ask. Undefeated and in the quarterfinals. How did the team recover from the injuries of Raquel Carrera and Silvia Domínguez? Answer. Together. There have been several occasions when the team has had to get up and adjust, both on and off the court. They were very important players, and it was also an emotional blow. There were moments of sadness and at the same time we had to continue. The team did it in the only way we know how, by supporting each other. P. What is Spain? R. Spain is commitment, enthusiasm, work and love for what we do. We go with our heart and responsibility at the same time, it’s a good mix. This team could not have achieved anything if it weren’t like that. P. How do you compensate for your lack of physicality compared to other teams? R. Focusing on our strengths and being aware of our weaknesses. When you know what you do well and what you find most difficult, you have taken the first step to face a match. And then there is our way of competing, we have always shown a very high level of competition, with or without victory, the line is very fine. We have the ability to compete against the best. P. How is generational change cooked up? R. It is a natural process, which is repeated in these cycles. It is necessary. After a very good moment, with many medals in a row, we are in this change. And in the middle of this change, last year we managed to triumph, a very valuable silver medal at the Eurobasket. It is a great achievement because of the combination of young players, others who have been around for a few years and are taking a step forward, and the veterans that we bring. We all accept our roles. P. What motivates you? R. The team motivates me, it has always been special to be here. I feel grateful to continue being part of this group. I have excitement and nerves in my stomach at every moment. That drives me to continue. And responsibility, I want to help the team in whatever role I have, on and off the court. My mentality has always been to contribute, in one way or another. I feel joy for being here, for helping, for adapting and living this unique experience. It is another dream. I still get nervous before games, my heart beats, those are my emotions, and I am happy to feel that way. Experience helps me so that those nerves do not play against me. P. How has your game changed over the ...
