India sets eyes on competing in esports games at Olympics soon

With growing viewership, investment, player base, and appearances at major international tournaments, esports in India is becoming a mainstream sport, with future ambitions to compete in the Olympics Esports Games, industry experts said on Monday.

With state support and advocacy from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, esports has cemented its place as a new-age sport after gaining official recognition as a ‘multi-sport’ event by the government, they added.

O que menos esperariam em uma abertura de Olimpíadas aconteceu: SIMPLESMENTE UM MÉNAGE

As a Terrassa resident I want to highlight the field hockey team. There's like more people named Marc than there's Spaniards.

Amazing.

OLIMPÍADAS DE PARIS 2024: A Convergência das Trevas na Cidade Luz

Durante a apresentação da candidatura de Paris 2024 em 11 de julho de 2017, o presidente Emmanuel Macron entrelaçou os braços com outros líderes fazendo o símbolo da pirâmide Illuminati. Paris, afinal, acabou escolhida pela terceira vez (já tinha sido em 1900 e 1924). O grau máximo da Maçonaria é o 33, então o local da 33ª edição das Olimpíadas nas poderia ser outro do que a capital maçônica por excelência, Paris, a cidade luz. Os 235 anos da maçônica Revolução Francesa, os 140 anos da Estátua da Liberdade (um presente da Maçonaria francesa), a Pirâmide do Louvre, tudo está inextricavelmente ligado e converge nesses jogos. O que estamos realmente vendo aqui é uma teia de intrigas que remonta há muito tempo. Os indivíduos que se consideram os governantes legítimos do planeta têm alguma preocupação sobre o futuro a muito curto prazo. Em seu sistema de crenças, eles sentem que precisam ter total controle planetário.

There's a sad irony in going into video game sports yet canceling the 2024 Mario and Sonic Olympics. It's just... Sad...

Also, imagine if the NFT idiocy accidentally bankrupts the Olympics. I'm sure they wouldn't invest "that" much, but you never know with dumb investments.

imagine walking away from sonic & mario in favor of NFTs

[anhilliator1]

Well then!

This is wholly unexpected.

However, this begs the question - how are they going to score this and divide the events?

What games will they be using?

Will there be a speedrunning category?

Fighting Games category?

FPS?

Not to mention subgenres?

Will there be a rhythm game category (in which case, hire Camellia)

Virtual Taekwondo: The Future of Esports at the Olympic Esports Series

The Rise of Esports

According to the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) - Thomas Bach, 3 billion people worldwide play esports and video games, with over 500 million passionate about esports, including virtual sports and sports simulations. In response to this growing trend, the IOC launched the virtual Olympic series in 2021, followed by the Olympic Esports Week in Singapore, successfully connecting the Olympic and esports communities.

Virtual Taekwondo at the Olympic Esports Week

Among the nine approved sports at the Olympic Esports Week (Oneesports 2023a), Virtual Taekwondo by the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) is an effort to expand the influence of the Olympics by connecting with gaming and esports communities worldwide (Viresa 2023).

Competitors wore traditional Taekwondo uniforms and belts while equipped with VR headsets and specialized controllers (Oneesports 2023b). The goal of Virtual Taekwondo is to deplete the opponent's health bar or have the most health remaining after three rounds (World Taekwondo 2023).

Inclusivity and Innovation in Virtual Taekwondo

Virtual Taekwondo offers a unique advantage in its inclusivity. By eliminating physical contact, it allows athletes of all ages, genders, and physical abilities to compete without the risk of injury (Oneesports 2023a). While the format may initially seem awkward, the potential for fair and diverse competition is undeniable.

A Success Story and a Promising Future

The inaugural Virtual Taekwondo competition at the Olympic Esports Series was a success, with a 15-year-old Singaporean athlete defeating an opponent of the same age and gender  (World Taekwondo 2023). This victory showcased the inclusive nature of Virtual Taekwondo, where age, gender, and size do not dictate the outcome.

World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue praised the event's success, highlighting its fun and inclusive nature. He emphasized the opportunity for young athletes to compete against retired Taekwondo legends and stressed the sport's potential to transcend traditional barriers  (World Taekwondo 2023). In sum, this is a step forward in supporting the development of virtual sports within the Olympic movement, while also connecting with the gaming and eSports communities to create new opportunities for players and fans alike.

Why isn’t video game an Olympic sport

There's some weird push for some kind of Olympics-adjacent esports thing that was gaining traction last I saw. I don't know, I think the Olympics should be cool physical contests like the caber toss or hackey sacking or whacking off or something.

Redraw of Panchito Pistoles as the turkish Yusuf Dikeç from the Olympics of Paris 2024! Why isn't this rooster already signed to the games??

[cheekedupwhiteboy]

i think to stay on-theme and to avoid copyright issues the IOC should buy all the rights to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and that should be the only game play in the olympic esports league

Rip (Mario & Sonic Series)

I can't believe the Olympics committee abandoned the Mario & Sonic Series in favor of esports and ugh NFTs ☹️

This was the series that introduced me to the Sonic the Hedgehog series and video games in general with it's fun to play and sometimes not fun to play mini games while introducing me to the wacky cast of characters from the Mario and Sonic series.

They were my main special interest/hyperfixation during that period in my childhood I just can't help but get giddy whenever i see them together.

It's sad that Tokyo 2020 games is the last ever time we'll see the characters coexist with each other at least everyone with the execution of Mario and Sonic we'll probably still see those two battling out in the next Smash Bros game on the next mainline Nintendo console (whenever that comes out).

Still though this really hurts to hear I know not many people cared for these games but I did even though I would like to a real crossover with these two that isn't tied with the Olympics or Smash Bros whenever Nintendo and Sega have the plan to make it happen I still pray it does.

Thanks for everything Mario and Sonic series (2007-2020)
