Skateboarding as a whole actually.. like we don't have enough X-Games sports that should just stay at the X-Games (especially in the winter, with all the big air, slopestyle, halfpipe kind of stuff).

The should have added BMX freestyle and not skateboarding

At least your cousin Brad from the 1990s is going to watch it because it is 'tubular'.

For fucks sake. Skateboarding. You know I was joking about adding Gaelic football but that probably has more of a scope.

As well as cricket, rugby league, like, more people probably watch e-Sports than skateboarding.

I'm from the 1990's and I'm not gonna watch  

 

It sounds just as exciting to me as freestyle snowboarding and skiing (halfpipe, slopestyle, big air, that kind of stuff): fun to watch and definitely a true sport, but with a place at the X-Games and not at the Olympics.

Handball qualification has started (probably, we don't really know for sure).

Football and Basketball will start during 2017.

Hopefully they will release the procedures soon, and we will know how to get to Tokyo 2020 (the answer is: by plane).

 For any Estonians here, Eesti Meedia has sub-licensed from Eurosport. Great.

men's football European qualifiers...

http://www.uefa.com/under21/news/newsid=2428250.html

 

format will be the same as 2017 sub-21 Euro...the 12 teams qualified for the final tournament will be divided in 3 groups...

then the groups' winners and the best second ranked team will qualify for the semis (and the OG, considered that there will be 4 spots allocated to UEFA)...

a 5th place playoff will be contested only if 1 or more British teams will reach the semis...

 

men's South American qualification will be played at Sudamericano Sub-20 in January 2019 (all 10 teams are already qualified to that tournament, of course)...

location is still TBD...

 

no idea about times and dates for the other Continents...

[Mkbw50 438]

Yeah, we're going to have to get the thread underway aren't we

For handball, 2018 European qualification has started which leads to World which qualified one place

2020 European qualification has started which qualifies one place

Based on 2016

No-one is, let's be honest. Good luck for TV channels in European countries that don't care to find commentators in their language, just some random guy that skates in the park probably. But no-one will watch it so it will be fine.
