I think badminton is among one of the sports which enjoyed being in the European Games. Elite athletes coming, help them getting a host for European championships, and also developing badminton in the host country (now both Azerbaijan and Belarus have annual open tournaments).

Overall what did you think about the entries? Will this still be great gymnastics, or will it be a mix of good and bad?

Many bad gymnasts and a handful of very good ones.

Yeah, looks like these games will be even worse than the ones in Baku. I hope this is where the road ends for the European Games. Tried it, didn't work, move on.

It really sounding the European Championships is where most of the sports federations want to go. I guess we’ll have to wait to see how they fare.

                               Greek athletes to fly PM class to Minsk after ticket debacle

 

Greece's athletics team for this month's European Games in Belarus will fly there in the prime minister's government jet, after sports officials couldn't find seats on commercial flights for them. The country's track and field federation, Segas, said Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras placed the plane at its disposal Thursday, shortly after it had announced its withdrawal from the event due to the ticket problem. Segas says 15 Greek track-and-field athletes are due to take part in the June 21-30 games in Minsk.
