Rumor has it you are only allowed to compete if you were member of the cool kids clique during your highschool days.

It's sad that nothing caught my attention besides the Olympic Games. I'm usually starved for more action during the Olympic year, but other than the continental championships and the World Cup series, there's nothing else to look for concerning artistic and rhythmic gymnastics events. Maybe the Gymnasiade, but it's usually something I completely ignore.

Gymnasiade will feature artistic, aerobic, and rhythmic. Aerobic competition was pretty good last time around. That competition is in China though, so...  

 

Don’t forget about the Paralympics of course. I love the Paralympics 

 

The only games that “matter” this year are: Winter YOG, Olympics, Paralympics, Gymnasiade, and Asian Beach Games (most storied and original beach games).

Only two events with gymnastics. I understand that the focus is the Olympic Games, but still...

In my dream world, multi-sport events would be staged like this:

1) South American Games, Mediterranean Games, Pacific Mini Games, CAC Games, Winter Youth Olympics 
2) Universiade, SEA Games, World Games, Commonwealth Games, Winter Olympics, Winter Paralympics
3) European Games, Pan-American Games, Asian Games, African Games, Pacific Games, Summer Youth Olympics
4) Universiade, SEA Games, Summer Olympics, Summer Paralympics, Military World Games

That would be an awesome schedule. Unfortunately, it’s just feasible or economically wise to host a multi-sports games in an (Summer) Olympic year. The Asian Beach Games get away with it because the majority of those athletes won’t compete at the Olympics.

 

On the bright side, 2021 is looking like an epic year for multi-sports games.

The ASEAN Para Games have been postponed for a second time due to the Corona Virus outbreak. I have a feeling it's not going to proceed as planned this year.

It might be for the best to postpone them, since some of the countries have the Corona virus in the top of their minds and the others just trying to avoid it...

It’d just be better to cancel them at this point. The athletes need to focus on Tokyo 2020 now, and Philippines is quite frankly unprepared to host the games.
