Beijing organizing the Winter Olympics 2022 – Helsingborgs Dagblad

– There will not be any snow beside the slopes. This will be brown, brown, brown, says an anonymous IOC delegates of what to expect in Beijing.

Human rights organizations had before the Friday’s vote directed criticism against the remaining candidates and pointed to defaults other than sporting. For example, human rights violations, persecution of dissidents and the wretched conditions of journalists in both China and Kazakhstan.

– Given the human rights abuses that resulted from the 2008 Olympics, the monitors are in place To prevent it from happening again, says Eduard Nazarski, chairman of Amnesty in the Netherlands.

The two final candidates had different strengths organizer terms. Beijing was the safe option, with a stable economy and growth in the country, as well as experience in the hosting of the Summer Olympics in 2008 – while Almaty tried to charm the IOC with a beautiful winter landscape at Mount Tianshan.

The choice was economically strong and experienced Beijing, which with Friday’s election is historic as the first city to host both the summer and winter games.

But there are Challenges .

– There is a lack of tradition in winter sports, distance, speed trains, new ski areas must be established, they have huge technological challenges ahead. But there is probably no one who hesitates because they will solve it in the best way, says Swedish Olympic Committee chairman Stefan Lindeberg to SVT.

Beijing will use the National Stadium, known as Bird’s Nest – which, among other things, housed the athletes and the opening and closing ceremony of the summer Olympics and Paralympics in 2088 – even in the Winter Olympics 2022nd

The branches that require good access to the snow comes probably settled in the Zhangjiakou, ski resort located about twenty mil north of Beijing. A high-speed railway which is planned to be built in 2017 will shorten the travel time between the cities to just over forty minutes.

Usage will be required of the MFF – Swedish Radio

– Not a dream result, then it is, we wished that we could have a goal, says Markus Rosenberg Radiosporten on the phone from Austria.

Weak defense game in the final minutes may be fatal, even if the MFF will surely focus on judgments stake.

After taking further towards Latvian Ventspils and Czech Sparta Prague came Malmö FF last year to Austria for meeting with Salzburg in the first match in the final qualifying round for the Champions League group stage.

Ninety minutes later, the Swedish champions certainly created some dangerous chances – but also to a large extent been taken place. But through Emil Forsberg’s late 1-2 Reduction came MFF away scot, and was a foundation for the return at home.

What then happened is well known. Malmo FF 3-0 ran over Salzburg and became the first Swedish team in 14 years to get to the big money the group stage for meetings with Juventus, Atlético Madrid and Olympiakos.

A year later it was time again. After a total of 1-0 against Zalgiris Lithuania were Malmo FF again to Salzburg, but this time in the third qualifying round.

Missing Soriano
much of the pre-talk about that there is largely a new MFF – only Anton Tinnerholm, Enoch Kofi Adu and Markus Rosenberg was left from last year’s meeting – so state the equivalent of the Austrian champion. Salzburg also got to manage without superstar, the team captain and top scorer Jonathan Soriano who late were forced to throw in the towel.

Two things were clear during the match. Malmo FF is not as sharp as a year ago. Salzburg, it is not.

But just like when it was the home side who had the pressure and the most chances, even if the quality was inferior.

Markus Rosenberg did have the ball in the net after quarter but was properly avvinkad for offside. Instead, it was Salzburg who took the lead early in the second half.

A quick total area spliced ​​by Christoph Leitgeb Andreas Ulmer – who with his left foot then placed the ball behind Johan Wiland, via both crossbar and post .

was punished
Salzburg met since both the bar and the post, but the game looked to end 1-0.

Then some of Malmo fateful moment. First sloppy defending by Felipe Carvalho who caused the penalty that Martin Hinteregger then knocked home the 2-0.

MFF players protested and made it no less when Nikola Đurđić shortly thereafter went bust in the offensive penalty without getting more than a point with him.

The late reduction from last year never came.

A reversal is again a must for Malmo at home on 5 August. The question is whether this year’s MFF is capable of it.

Malmo FF progressed from the second qualifying round for the Champions League group stage after a total of 1-0 against Zalgiris Lithuania.

The winner of the MFF and Salzburg in the third round go on to the final qualifying round, the loser will play the qualifiers to the Europa League group stage.

The draw for the final qualifying round for the CL group stage takes place August 7. Matches played 18 to 19 August and 25-26 August. The loser will play in the Europa League.

Only a complete renovation of the International Football Federation’s organization can rebuild trust.


                 
             

         
 
         
         

             
                 
                 
                 

                     

 

UEFA President Michel Platini might be the one who takes over after FIFA president Sepp Blatter. BBC confirms that he now Platini candidates in Fifa choice.
But FIFA problems are considerably greater than Sepp Blatter. Only a complete renovation of the International Football Federation’s organization can rebuild trust.

The news that Michel Platini is running for president of FIFA comes as no surprise. The French UEFA base has long been identified as Crown Prince to the outgoing Sepp Blatter, although the uproar around the Congress in the spring appeared naked a rift between them.

Platini, who is considered to have strong support from several continents and thus have large chances of being selected, will not be alone in wanting to take Fifa Throne at the extraordinary elections on 26 February next year. Even his running colleague, South Korean Chung Moon-joon, announced over the weekend that he will be a candidate and more people feel inclined, like Prince Ali of Jordan.

 
        
             
     
     
 

But the chairman byte is not enough to come to terms with FIFA’s deeply interwoven corruption problems. It would be like believing that Greece would get to his feet only to the country changed its government. FIFA’s problem is much greater than Sepp Blatter and what the organization that leads the world’s most popular sport needs right now is a total blow-by, both personal and organizational. Never has the chance to make this radical reform have been better than now.

It has become legitimate to Blatter’s name as a football, one that it’s okay to bang on. True, the Swiss during the 17 years had the ultimate responsibility for Fifa has allowed corruption to spread in an organization where he worked in a total of 40 years. But as president, he sits not on the absolute power. It is available instead of the Executive Committee and the six continent connected.

The 24-strong executive committee, which among other things determines where the World Cup will be played, composed and designated large parts of the people sitting at the top of the continent federations hierarchy.

It has repeatedly proven that these men, because it deals almost exclusively with men, can not keep your fingers away from the cookie jar.
When the Executive Committee in December 2010 the scandalous voting decided to give the World Cup to Russia and Qatar had two of its 24 members, Reynald Temarii from French Polynesia and Amos Adamu from Nigeria is already banned to vote after they are turned off after a mutaffär.

Of the 22 Members who finally took part in the vote, five since been forced to resign after being found guilty or accused of bribery.
All that work for Fifa is obviously not the villains. The problem is the organization have not kept up with when increasing the money got into football. Local bigwigs that their countries are accustomed to a decision you make is subject to certain favors have ended up in high positions. FIFA has today 209 member countries. Smaller countries often vote in blocks, which also invites you to fiddling.

The Frenchman Jérôme Champagne, who had the intention to become FIFA President in the spring, is among those who believe that Blatter is not the dictator he is often singled out as and in fact tied behind the chair. This is because the president can not choose what he wants in the Executive Committee, but must try to enforce a decision together with the opponents.

– It is as if Barack Obama would have had to have John McCain in his government, said Champagne in a DN -Interview last year and made an analogy with the US presidential election.

Others say it big problem is that each member country has one vote and the French Polynesian opinion is worth as much as, for example, Brazil.

Like Champagne worked Michel Zen-Ruffinen long corridors of power at FIFA headquarters in Zurich. As Secretary-General felt the latter a dysfunctional organization and felt that he could not keep quiet.

Founded in 2002 in connection with sports policy symposium Play the Game put Zen-Ruffinen, a former football referee, his finger on the corruption the structural weaknesses in the FIFA organization creates. He called for increased transparency and greater demands for accountability, but had obviously removed from his post. It took 13 years before anyone took his and other FIFA Critics’ objections seriously.

There is every reason for all member countries to examine themselves. World football’s rule, the structural members created. Despite one bribery case after another, UEFA and others crying out loud failed to create change. It took US authorities put teeth into the problem that the world would wake up. The FBI’s indictment comes mainly suspected violations related to the continent federations in South America and North America and the Caribbean. Meanwhile, prosecutors in Switzerland announced that it is investigating 53 cases of suspected crimes such as money laundering.

Football increased commercialization and popularity have made FIFA the balls more billions. Profit last year was 1.2 billion and it is now supposed to be close to 13 billion in the coffers. Fifa, which should be a non-profit organization, increasingly resembles a multinational corporation. Thanks to that like many other sports federations have their headquarters in Switzerland is the transparency of transactions is limited.

There is also something to consider for those who think it is enough to replace the president to bring order to Fifa .

IFK Gothenburg close to enlist replacement for Vibe – Expressen

So close to the sports director Mats Gren chose not to go with the team charter plane that took off against Portugal from Landvetter morning.

– I’m trying to get done deal before I go to Portugal says Branch.

The branch has previously said that he would prefer to get clear with the new striker by Wednesday, ie today.

And now much to suggest that he is close to achieving this.

– That’s why I’m still at home, to get any sense of the process, says Mats Gren.

You have chosen not to fly with the team to Portugal ..?

– Right. Right now I’m still in Gothenburg.

– My thought is to go down to Portugal tomorrow (Thursday) but I get to decide how I do in the evening.

Blåvitt supposed to meet Belenenses tomorrow in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.

Daniel Larsson hot name

Who is it Mats Gren is on the hook?

GT has previously told Daniel Larsson is a hot name:

– I will not comment any names at all, says Gren.

But he reveals that he is working for a main track.

– There is a player that is more timely and as we go on but I will not comment any more about the qualities or attributes.

When do you think he can be ready?

– I had hoped that it would move already on Monday or Tuesday, but sometimes it takes a lot longer than people think, want and hope because you do not sit with the agenda itself.

Österikiskt reputation

On social media, the rumor is that it’s about Austrian players, but this is not true as the GT experience.

Mats Gren and Blåvitt working primarily on the find substitute in the Nordic region.

Another rumor that abound is the Norrköping Emir Kujović, but “Beijing” do not intend to sell off gold cheap. There will be about at least 20 million to buy off the Golden Cow cure’s star in the summer. That also Kujovic deleted from the list.

Blåvitt collected according to GT’s tasks SEK 13 million for Lasse Vibe. More than that will not be put on a new striker, rather less.
