It’s official. 2021 is worse than 2020. There’s literally zero multi-sports games left besides an Olympic that might not happen. At least 2022 will be epic

Bangkok-Chonburi AIMAG 2021 host agreement signing ceremony

 

 

Since OCA is still tight-lipped on Asian Winter Games, it looks like we can expect there won't be AWG in super congested 2021

24 sports have made the final program for the games: Indoor athletics, cue sports, bowling, dancesport, chess, futsal, roller sports, sport climbing, short-course swimming (25m), muay, jujitsu, BMX, hoop takraw/sepak takraw, kurash, floorball, netball, taekwondo, indoor hockey, karate, e-sports, badminton (three events), pencak silat, cheerleading, sambo, indoor rowing.

 

This will be the first ever inclusion on any form of the Asian Games for Cheerleading, Floorball, Netball, and Indoor Rowing. 
 

I quite like the sports program honestly. The AIMAG are fun because you often get to see a lot of sports you don’t see at other multi-sports games outside of the SEA Games or World Games. The influence of the World Combat Games can be felt as there will only be 5 combat sports on the program. I’m looking forward to the games as a nice return to international sports. Plus, it’s nice to have something before the Olympics after what probably be close to a year without any multi-sports games.

Not impressed... I've heard people calling Slovakia a Mediterranean country, and yet they have zero medals of any kind.

I will lose my shit if the IOC cancels the Olympics after all of this havoc they’ve caused.

And another, 2021 Commonwealth Youth Games cancelled. The CGF will look at having an edition of the games in 2023, but there might not be another addition of the games until 2025.
