Published for the fourth year in a row, this ranking aims to capture the social media footprint of international sports federations and provide insightful takeaways of how different content leads to different outcomes. 2020 has been a year unlike any other for sports federations. Despite setback after setback, with cancellations and postponements of sporting events around the world, the year has been revolutionary for the whole sports industry. Since matches and tournaments were not taking place, sports fans had to look for other channels of engagement. They found what they were looking for on social media. This year’s ranking, as per previous years, includes international sports federations (IFs) from both the Winter and Summer Olympic programmes. In addition, for the first time, non-Olympic IFs have also been included. This should serve to increase the comparative and informative value of the IF Ranking.

  • Shotokan Datoer
    SHOTOKAN RELATERTE VIKTIGE DATOER 1372- Det tidligste tidspunktet for nedtegnelser av kampkunst på Okinawa. 1390 tallet- 36 kinesiske familier med yrke som båtbyggere ankom Okinawa og introduserte Kinesisk kampkunst. 1429- Kong Sho Hashi (1372-1439) samler Okinawa til ett rike og forbyr krigerklassen å bære våpen. Ca 1500- Kong Sho Hashi konfiskerer alle våpen på Okinawa 1609- samuraier fra Satsuma klanen iverksetter en 40 dager lang kampanje mot Okinawa og iverksatte igjen forbud mot alle våpen. De nedla Kongens sverdsmie i Shuri og tok den ploitiske kontrollen på Øygruppen. Dette skjøt fart i kampkunstens utvikling. 1735- Sakugawa fra Akata som studerte Kinesisk boksing returnerte til Okinawa for å undervise. 1785- Shiodaira fra Shuri nedtegner et referat fra en oppvisning som skal ha funnet sted med den kinesiske militærattacheen Kushanku. Det finnes nedtegnelser som tyder på at Kushanku ikke er en person men en referanse til en militær grad. 1809- Sokon Matsumura blir født i Shuri. Kilder varierer veldig fra 1798 og oppover, men vestlige historikere regner denne datoen som mest korrekt av kildene. 1816- 19. oktober. Kaptein Basil Hall på HMS Lyra beskriver i boken sin ”Account of a voyage of discovery to the west coast of Cora and the great Looo-Choo island” en Shizoku som viste en uventet spesiell kampkunst. 1827/28- Yasutsune Azato blir født. Han begynner seinere å studere kampkunst under Sokon Matsumura. 1830/32- Yasutsune Itosu blir født. Han begynner seinere å studere kampkunst under Gusukuma fra Tomari. 1837- Den legendariske konkurransen mellom Matsumura og Uehara finner sted på Kinbu kirkegården. Funakoshi refererer til denne historien i 2 av sine bøker, og trekker den frem som det ultimate målet med karate; vinne over en fiende uten å slåss.
