The OLYMPIC MEDAL TABLE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RANKING RECOGNISED BY THE IOC. It is based on an interpretation of the media. For US media that prioritise the total medal count, France finished 4th. For the other media that prioritise gold, it finished 5th. In both cases, this does not reflect the real level of France, who has strong performances in very competitive sports (basketball, volleyball, rugby union, football and handball) that do not offer a lot of medals. Our estimation is that France will finish 2nd (for the 4th time in 10 years) in the 2024 World Ranking of Countries in Elite Sport (WRCES, https://lnkd.in/dyUBGDSE), the only scientific index benchmarking nations’ performances in all the recognised sports.

Why the Rugby Championship faces an uncertain future New Zealand Rugby and South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby)had reached agreement for quadrennial bilateral tours beginning in 2026. And the impact on The Rugby Championship will be significant. There is no word yet, though, on how the Rugby Australia and Unión Argentina de Rugby will fill their August-September Test windows in those years (in 2026, 2028 and 2030). Should Fiji Rugby Union and Japan Rugby Football Union be included in the rejigged Rugby Championship? It might be more benefit to RA and the UAR on their own arrangements. The Japanese fans are going to turn up, they’re going to fill whatever stadium they get a chance to get to, and the same with Fiji. On the side, Fiji and Japan can become conditioned to tough tests, grow in stature and ultimately become genuine top-tier rugby nations. #sports #business #coaching #world #futuro
