I will say that Baku’s and Minsk’s logos are easily some of my favorite multi sports games logos.

It was fairly innovative back in the 90s so maybe the millenials will re-discover it as something new - even if it's not :p  Outside of Spain an UK this sport is totally obscure - just as speedway outside of Poland and Scandinavia :lol:

 

well, a few (better, many) years ago it was quite known also in Italy...it even used to have some space on our national tv networks...

 

nowadays, it's completely forgotten by our media (obviously, we don't have any good rider anymore), but I think it has quite a decent base of followers that could be back if one day it's covered decently again by our media (here, world circuit races always have a good attendance on site, despite all)...

My choices for the program (as a non-Pole, non-European :p).

It's possible. There has been annouced list of 27 sports from which in September they going to choose 20. This is a full list:

- archery

- athletics (track & field)

- badminton

- basketball 3x3

- boxing

- break dancing

- canoeing (slalom and sprint)

- cycling (road and mtb)

- fencing

- gymnastics (don't know which one, maybe all of them)

- judo

- modern pentathlon

- rugby 7

- shooting

- sport climbing

- swimming

- table tennis

- triathlon

- volleyball (beach and indoor)

- weightlifting

- wrestling

- beach handball

- electric trial (not sure is this a proper English name of this event)

- karate

- mountain running

- teqball

- summer ski jumping (there they are :rolleyes: )

 
The only sports I’d be opposed to being on the program would Boxing and Weightlifting at the moment. I only omitted Ski Jumping (summer) because I felt there was the possibility of deadly injury. I really wanted to include eBike Trials, but I just ran out of space on the program.

Don't be afraid ;) There's summer events every year. Competition would be probably in Wisla where summer Grand Prix is nothing new so arena is checked and secure. I don't think that there would start many athletes who doesn't start in summer GP or Continental Cup so all of them should be experienced.

I feel the same. Also I am wondering if motosport should be run in this kind of event. But maybe it's some kind of Polish tradition? At Wroclaw's World Games there was speedway, now trial in Krakow :)

Deadly injury? :p

I see more crash in the "winter circuit" than in the summer one (with grass on the floor, usually)

Well, that’s what I’m worried about. If someone has a “winter” crash on non-snow, I feel like the consequences should severe. I realize they do these events every summer, but if someone gets badly injured, that’s some seriously bad press for a young (and somewhat struggling) multi sports games.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
