The 2022 Mediterranean Games must have given Algeria some street credit in the international sports world because I’m seeing some Algerian news outlets reporting the country will resurrect and host the Pan Arab Games this summer. I couldn’t find anything specific on the UANOC website, but there was a Arabic press release posted to Twitter that I couldn’t translate, so maybe there’s some news about it on there @thepharoah @tuniscof @amen09?

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.

After the U20 World Cup fiasco, here is an update from the ANOC World Beach Games: the Indonesian NOC invited all CdM from the participating countries except the Israeli CdM for a meeting :popcorn:

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. 
 

:VEN could be putting themselves at odds with the rest of the Pan American NOCs here…

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).

I assume only Cross-Country Skiing here, right ? :p

 

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 :p

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.

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
