Pan American Games :cheer:

I have good memories of Pan Ams in Toronto in 2015. I won tickets in a sponsor giveaway to see the equestrian eventing final- I had to look up what eventing was but we had a great time there.

 

Looking forward to world swimming, track, and beach volleyball championships as well as basketball World Cup and all Paris qualifiers.

-The tennis season in general. It's great to have two top players from your country, and also we have several young Greek women moving up the rankings so hopefully they continue to do so. And of course to watch players from other countries as well.

 

-FIBA World Cup and Eurobasket Women. I hope our national teams do well.

 

-Euro 2024 qualifying. Greece is in a tough group with France and the Netherlands, but I am curious to see how we will do and also we are guaranteed a spot in the play-offs via Nations League so there is less pressure.

 

-Athletics outdoor season. Mainly the World Championships but also last year we had the National Championships in Thessaloniki and it was a very nice experience, I hope to be able to go in 2023 as well.

 

-World Championships again for water polo.

 

-Rowing season. From May to September there are a lot of regattas and it is always nice to see Greece win a lot of medals, I think this year we won 12 gold medals as well as other silver and bronze.

 

-Hopefully many Olympic quotas for Greece in various different sports.

It will be fun to have the Olympic qualifiers in full swing next year. Also, another packed year for multi-sports games, with many of my personal favorites on offer (Pan American Games, European Games, Asian Games, Winter Universaide, Pacific Games, Jeux Francophonie, World Beach Games, CAC Games, etc.)

Personally i am more excited to see the development of certain young athletes than to watch certain big competitions. I am looking forward to see how athletes like Muriel Mohr (freestyle skiing slopestyle/big air), Selina Freitag (ski jumping), Emma Aicher (alpine skiing), Luis Vogt (alpine skiing), Selina Grotian (biathlon), Friedrich Moch (cross-country skiing), Joland Kallabis (athletics), Annett Kaufmann (table tennis) or Julia Stusek* (tennis) will develop.

 

* Youngest player in the top 1000 (ranked 841) of the women's world ranking (she was born in 2008), just won the german U18 championships (winning 6:2 6:2 in the final) and reached the semifinal of the german senior championships (where she lost in 3 sets against Ella Seidel, who is ranked 383 currently). She is trained by Melanie Molitor (mother and former coach of Martina Hingis) in Switzerland.

 

Edit: Apparently there also is an other 14 year old girl (Sonja Zhenikhova) who even made the final at the german senior championships this year.

I am most looking forward to the world speedskating championships in Heerenveen. I have tickets for the third day and hope to see skating sensation Jutta Leerdam live.

 

A month earlier the first phase of the ticket sales for Paris '24 starts. I wonder if I get the chance to buy some nice tickets.

 

Finally, I'm curious about the development of Dutch talents Tes Schouten (swimming), Joanne van Lieshout (judo), Niels Laros (athletics) and Roos Daleman (handball).

I haven't seen many people mention cycling yet. I'm really looking forward to all the monuments, classics and grand tours. With Evenepoel, Pogacar, Vingegaard, Van Aert and Van der Poel there's such an exciting generation of riders.

 

On the womens side I hope the young generation of Dutch riders, Van Anrooij, Van Empel and Pieterse, can take some wins in the senior field.

 

Other than that the athletics world championships are the biggest highlight of the year in sports for me.

      Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.

      Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.

      Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.

      I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
