PHI2019 188 Posted April 10, 2023 #1041 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Japanese host of 2026 Asian Games scraps plan for athletes village The organizing committee for the 2026 Asian Games has decided to scrap a plan to build an athletes village to trim costs. Japan's Aichi Prefecture will host most of the events. The decision was made at the committee's executive board meeting in the prefecture's Nagoya City on Monday. At the meeting, Aichi Governor Ohmura Hideaki, the committee's president, said large sports events paid for with taxpayers' money are being more closely scrutinized than ever following scandals related to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20230327_33/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,483 Posted April 23, 2023 #1044 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) What’s interesting is that most of the opinion polls I’ve seen from Latin American media show large support for Ukraine, and low support for Russia. could be putting themselves at odds with the rest of the Pan American NOCs here… Edited April 23, 2023 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,483 Posted April 25, 2023 #1045 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Finswimming will be added to the core sports program of the Mediterranean Games. Rowing will be re-included as well. It’s also likely there will be more mixed events in 2026. The CIJM wants bring the events program in line with the Olympics (not sure if this will lead to combined events in weightlifting for instance).

Well, Štrbské Pleso has the capacity to create more challenging cross-country skiing tracks meeting even the most stricter FIS criteria. That wouldn´t be such a problem, just a question of "financial impulse from somewhere", but the second thing is the willingness to do it, I don´t think that such an interest (for "only" the Nordic Skiing WCh) would be relevant in the foreseeable future here though Edited April 26, 2023 by hckošice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,483 Posted May 3, 2023 #1048 Share Posted May 3, 2023 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. 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
