Do we really need the European Games? Would a better option not be to build on the European Championships which took place in Berlin and Glasgow in 2018?

 

That European Championships idea brought no value whatsoever. It's just a few sport Euros bunched up at the same time without much correlation. It was only a failed marketing trick in my eyes.

 

At least the European Games could be some unique event, which could build prestige and something for the athletes (and fans) to look forward in non-Olympic, non-World Cham. years. But this can only work , if the Federations have the E Games their definitive Euro Champs for the year and not have 2 separate events... But they don't want to do that of course.

Absolutely no idea. My knowledge of this sport is Two guys wearing white cosmonaut clothes fencing together until one of them scores 15 points or lead after 3 periods. Nobody never know who scores inc

Which is why trying to build on the European Championships concept makes more sense. The truth is we don't need a European Games but the powers that be wanted to bring Europe into line with the other continents. The individual sport's European championships are very competitive and successful in their own rights so why would the governing bodies want to relegate them to the European Games?

Agreed. Plus, replacing European Championships with European Games would likely mean reduced participation in all sports with various qualification systems in place. I don't think anyone really wants that.

 

Sure, using qualification systems works for the Pan American Games, but that's because the depth of nations there is so much shallower.

Law & Justice will never offer any financial help to a city mayor from the post-communist SLD :roflmao: Majchrowski's bluff will be called IMO.

That's why Sasin is "responsible" for the Games from their side. If he spent 70 milions on an election that didn't take a place, then how much can he spend on the European Games that won't take a place?

European Olympic Committees probably don't realize there's an outright war in Polish internal politics going on for the last few years :lol:

 

I can fully expect EG being moved to a different city in Poland to avoid backlash. The COVID pandemic is a great excuse to justify such a change. Majchrowski obviously played the emotional blackmail card here but I don't think that moves the Law & Justice needle one bit.

I’m near certain that they were just happy a city bid for the Games :p

This was a low-hanging fruit after Baku (which technically isn't even Europe) and Minsk :lol:

      Skeleton Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.

      Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner

      I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?

      I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      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.
