Sambo will be added to the main sports program of the The World Games 2025. I believe all the sports that featured in 2022 will stay on the program as well.

 

 

 

 

Just the right time to bring a sport invented by the Russian military into the pathway to the Olympics.  :cheer:

The LOC has shortlisted the following sports for the invitational sports program: American Football (Flag Football), Cheerleading, Dragon Boat, Duathlon, Freestyle Inline. 
 

I believe one (or maybe more) of the following para sports will be included as well: Wheelchair Rugby, Wheelchair Dance, Para Ju-Jitsu, Freediving Disabled.

 

The IWGA also mentioned a proposal regarding Powerboating in the article, but the status of that seems unclear to me.

I just re-read that article several times. I could be wrong, but I don't see bowling or sumo on the list of official sports. Tough to understand this decision. Bowling has been in every edition of TWG, and Sumo has been one of the most popular sports in the last two editions.

Oh, I don’t see them either now that you mention it :mumble:

 

Sumo being dropped would be quite shocking as it was routinely one of the most popular sports. I believe it sold out of tickets for multiple editions of The World Games. It was certainly the hottest ticket last summer as least. Of course, there was also that dramatic disqualification/re-match episode last year too. 
 

Bowling being dropped wouldn’t be as big of a surprise to me. It’s not the most television friendly sport, though it certainly can be broadcast and easily followed with decent graphics. It also has a semi-costly, specialized venue that can’t shared with other sports on the program. Still, it would be tough to see such a mainstay booted off the program.

 

EDIT: I forgot when I wrote this, but the IBF (International Bowling Federation) was embroiled in a financial/governance scandal recently. Link: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1123554/ibf-financial-allegations-on-eve-of-egm 


The gold medalist in women’s singles at The World Games 2017 was also disqualified for doping, so maybe a combination a strikes against the sport.

Special Olympics World Games are underway in :GER. It’s a great event for inclusivity, and it still largely captures that multi-sport games energy you get from the other major Games.

From this glitched stream of OCA, it seems like we will be having Asian Winter Games 2025 in Harbin

You really have to appreciate the randomness with which this event is held :p

    • Honestly, I think you guys have a much better chance of success here than we do. It's already difficult to maintain this sport, and with this ridiculous format this year, things have gotten even worse. Years and years participating in the elite and we haven't been able to evolve; it was just a waste.

    • Another weak result for our athletics team, which is typical; without Caio or Alisson, our chances of a medal in any high-level tournament are almost zero.   However, Juliana's result in the women's pole vault was a great 7th place. She is improving rapidly and still has a lot of room for growth.

    • some changes in the team and less importance to the sport, the two big teams until 2022/2023 ( and ) in south america started to decrease a lot and in the other hand the 3rd in South America () is growing a lot, is really impressive. We are currently the favourites for the LA2028 quota
    • Last few weeks of the World Cup season for winter sports (and Junior Worlds, depending on streaming), Men's Curling Worlds, Saquarema Elite 16, and some tennis   That's it unless I'm missing something, not much going on    Which is a good thing honestly, very busy next couple of weeks.
    • What happened to Brazil's women's team? On the other hand it looks like Argentina may be the top South American team on the women's side. Defeating Spain, China and South Africa was unlikely up until this year
    • These are the teams I think will qualify for the WC this window:           Hoping for some debutants to qualify!
