There are national federations, players, fans which like this sport. And international federation, which organises the WCH. In general there are no inconsistency between them about necessarity of this tournament. What is the problem?

In the 90 minutes game more than 30 - it can be, but big teams don't always have enough motivation to score so much. I'd say 20-25. Sometimes 30 can be when small team try to score as many as they

A world championship doesn't have to be 'necessary'. There's apparently enough interest from certain nations to participate, hence there's nothing wrong with having it.

For me every international should have a World Championships (maybe not every year). I don’t care if there are only 5 countries that play that sport, it better have a World Championships. Rugby Union is a joke, to me only Rugby Sevens matters. Every team sport should have a World Championships, so there’s a reason to represent your nation.

This World Championship is necessary to raise the funds for the FIB to stay internationally important.

You do know rugby union very much has a World Cup?

:GER 12:6 :NED
First game against Germany was the best for the Netherlands at this tournament. Today they were very close to Germans during 50 minutes but later missed a lot.. Next year they go back to Div B.

:NOR 9:3 :USA

 

:RUS 6:2 :FIN

2:2 after the first half but two fast goals at the start of the second half have a negative impact on the Finnish team.

:SWE 20:1 :KAZ

 

Medal games tomorrow.

Since 1987, before that it developed an international game that any sport bar a few could ever dream of. Same with cricket.

 

World cup/championship is not, nor it should be, the only option when we are talking about international sport.

I agree with that point, but I think it’s definitely ok for bandy to have one.

I agree, but since there's clearly enough interest among participating nations, there's no reason not to have it.

      Just finished watching the Gauff-Muchova final at the China Open, and I’ll be watching both the men’s and women’s finals at the GSOC HearingLife Tour Challenge, but here’s what else I’ll be watching (or at least trying to watch) the next two weeks.    BWF Denmark Open, ATP Shanghai Masters, WTA Wuhan/Ningbo Open, FIVB Elite 16 Joao Pessoa, FIFA U17 Women’s Football World Cup (lesser priority, the knockout stage matches are in late October to early November), European Table Tennis Championships (lesser priority), FIS Ski/Snowboard Big Air WC Chur, UCI Track Cycling World Championships, WA Swimming WC Shanghai, NBA/NFL/NHL, any semi big curling events that I can find streaming for, any club season volleyball matches that I can find streaming for (some are on VBTV which helps but this season my teams are Gas Sales Blunergy Piacenza, Vero Volley Monza, Vakıfbank, Eczacıbaşı, Asseco Resovia), 3X3 Basketball World Tour Amsterdam/Macau (lesser priority and no group stage matches, only knockout if I have time and I’m not feeling too fatigued)

      Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Tour 2024 - 2025

      By heywoodu · Posted

      To be fair, the only way to make the qualifying day shorter is by allowing fewer athletes and I really don't think that's a good trade-off for the sport. Qualifying day can be the biggest spectacle one can imagine, it's still not going to draw amazing viewing numbers anyway, since it's basically just laying the foundation for the weekend.   Ice resurfacing definitely takes a while if done properly, if pushing it they could maybe get it done just under 15 minutes or so. I'm a little afraid it goes the way of athletics, where things are pushed more and more into ever shorter formats. Shorttrack days and sessions can only realistically be made shorter if they spread a World Cup out over 4 instead of 3 days, but it's not like Thursday is going to be a massive audience day.

      Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Tour 2024 - 2025

      By Josh · Posted

      I wish the ISU would make each of the sessions shorter… they all last between 3-5 hours (and sometimes 10 hours with the qualifying sessions) and me personally I find it highly annoying and unnecessary, because there’s so many breaks in between (for ice resurfacing it’s understandable, but it doesn’t take the 15-20 minutes long breaks to do it…)

      By heywoodu · Posted

      The only thing I can think of that has gotten in the way can be geo-restrictions, like the Fridays being available on YouTube, but not the Saturdays and Sundays, preventing new people from really getting into it. Somehow I doubt a new format means it will be made more welcoming for new viewers though...

      Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Tour 2024 - 2025

      By heywoodu · Posted

      But what can be improved? Broadcasting has for years already been excellent, with races that are quite clear to follow and fine graphics that have all we need. How is "Suzanne Schulting for the Dutch Lions!" instead of "Suzanne Schulting from the Netherlands!" going to make it a better 'broadcast product'?

      I do think we need a rethink of how short track is packaged as a broadcast product given how little money is involved. Pretty hard to make a living in that sport.
