I give you the worst results system I have come across: https://dubai-aypg2025.ae/results

Honestly, this isn't that bad. You can sort by date/sport, with links to the corresponding PDFs.

 

Sure, it's not the most sleek or informative, but it gets the job done at the end of the day.

Quite a few changes to the 2028 Youth Olympic event program: Generally it seems they wanted to remove team events (and the halfpipe). Surprised at the 3x3 hockey being removed.

The ISU is looking into a combined World Championships for its 4 disciplines.

 

The FIS tried this and it appears the progress there has stalled.

It's waaaay too expensive & inconvenient. Basically WOG minus the bobsleigh track & indoor arena for figure skating/hockey(which is the easy part of Olympic bid). Just won't happen anytime soon. Winter sports are too facility dependant and the entire alpine skiing requires a separate venue.

An ISU World Championships would be a lot easier to host than an FIS World Championships.

 

The largest hurdle for host cities is whether or not they have a speed skating venue. The other disciplines can be held in generic large indoor arenas.

Would be much easier for the ISU to do if they were willing to accept an outdoor track for the Speed Skating, though.

Wow... kinda limiting your hosting options when you'll only go somewhere with a long-track oval

 

With figure skating often being a cash cow, you'd think you'd want a lot more flexibility in moving it around
