Maybe the only way this could work is if the IOC took the European Games, Asian Games, Pan-American Games etc. like stepchild's and help with the organization and intertwine the Olympic qualification with these continental Games.

I think there’s some general movement in that direction, or at least it’s being considered. It makes a lot of sense to me. I fell like more people should come out winners than losers in that scenario (IOC, Continental Orgs, Federations, NOCs, etc.)

Lol, the 'Replays' section of the TV website is just one big-ass spoiler :rofl::lol:  (literally even including scores in the title, as if the thumbnails spoiling the results weren't enough)

https://europeangames.tv/videos

 

Unbelievable, these organizations never learn, do they? :facepalm: 

 

Apparently from the 'Program' section one can't even go straight to a replay of the stream...now it's time to find out how to start rewatching stuff (non-spoilered)...

 

Ah, there's 'Highlights' of the athletics sections...consisting of seeing a lady jump up and down in slow motion and slowly seeing a discus fly through the air. Sigh. I was kind of looking forward to this, but I guess this entire event can go in the trash can in terms of my 'Things to watch' list...

Athletics events are on allathletics.tv I believe…

I really do not understand why Polish does not go to this athletic team Championship. Ok European Games does not have good reputation. But itnis team Championship. I was in Bydhošť 5 years ago and there were full stadium. Maybe one of reason Is that it it 3 times in row in Poland and it Is time to change it and give it to sb else. Moreover I think great times of athletics in Poland Is over. It Is time for Italy

Where can i find replays from Minsk? I mean, full replays. On the same site where we watch streams from Poland?

There are some on there, and some on EOC.tv. Overall, a somewhat limited offering.

Thanks, that seems to be a start. One wonders where all the many others sports can be viewed on-demand though...I'm sure I'm missing something, because no way an event that is supposed to be big like this has no on-demand options, bu no idea where.

Bydgoszcz is in a complete different part of the country so it's not really the case of the same people (non)-attending. Like I said before the two reasons are:

 

a) lack of promotion, I didn't realize athletics will be held in Chorzów until few days before EG and I live less than 20 kms from Chorzów itself :lol:

b) EG started in the last week of school when most adults are still working and before the actual holiday period in Poland.

 

PS. It doesn't help Chorzów will host the Skolimowska Memorial on July 16th. I suspect there will be more people for that meeting than EG three weeks prior.

There’s a bunch of replays on europeangames.tv

IOC offers everything but EOC must differ :facepalm:

Panam Sports Channel and EOC TV only offer replays of the finals in each sport/event, or full replays of sport/event where final is only one session. EOC TV was slowly uploading VODs of all the sessions from the 2023 Winter EYOF, but just stopped at some point :(

 

ANOC TV and FISU TV generally offer VODs of everything that was broadcast (maybe missing a few here and there like the Olympic Channel).

    • Just a bump reminder that we have the annual Stadium Race from Schalke FC's ground in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday evening.    
    • Since I didn't follow the Games that closely, two categories I'm having trouble finding candidates for are Comeback of the Year and the Olympic Spirit Award (the Paris 2024 award for individuals who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship at the Games or have shown great determination in overcoming obstacles). If you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.      Comeback of the Year   Adam Peaty (Swimming) Tom Daley (Diving) Kristof Milak (Swimming) Matteo Berrettini (Tennis) Paula Badosa (Tennis)  Sunisa Lee (Artistic Gymnastics)     Olympic Spirt Award   Fariba Hashimi (Road Cycling) Flavia Saraiva (Artistic Gymnastics) Ellie Black (Artistic Gymnastics) Csanad Gemsi (Fencing) Silina Pha Aphay (Athletics) Sander Skotheim (Athletics) Cindy Ngamba (Boxing)  
    • Have mercy, I can't last 18 days without sleep.  
    • This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost. 
    • I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.
    • My IF THE OLYMPICS WERE THIS CHRISTMAS predicted medal table   17-18-12---47 15-12-7---34 13-8-8---29 11-10-7---28 9-5-7---21 8-13-3---24 7-6-9---22 6-7-6---19 6-6-9---21 6-6-5---17 5-8-6---19 3-2-4---9 2-6-4---12 2-2-4---8 2-2-3---7 1-1-3---5 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 0-3-0---3 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1
    • Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.
    • Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.
    • Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
