Olympian1010 7,483 Posted October 27, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Broadcast information, looks like they liked the 2017 strategy. I think we should expect almost identical coverage. “The BOC and IWGA have engaged world-renowned International Sports Broadcasting (ISB) to provide host broadcasting services for The World Games 2021 Birmingham. The BOC and ISB have a joint meeting in October to discuss details about production hours, sport coverage and overall production planning. As with The World Games 2017 Wroclaw, a 24/7 Channel will be available for the global distribution of The Games. In addition, international broadcasters will get the chance to pick up specific streams of sports that are popular in their countries. ISB will use up to eight OB vans for the production of the TV signal. ISB will not only act as the production arm of The World Games 2021; they will take over the international marketing of the media rights too. In addition, IWGA and ISB plan to continue to work with Olympic Channel to secure distribution of The World Games 2021 to all territories in the world. IWGA will hold a media workshop for International Federations to inform them about requirements for the best TV production possible. IFs will have to identify a counterpart for the TV production team on-site at the competition venues. IFs will receive more information on this topic at the IWGA media workshop in November.” “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I would rather see groups in rhythmic gymnastics than parkour. I don't know why individual gymnasts are allowed to compete, but not groups. Maybe because of the number of gymnasts involved? 5 gymnasts per group plus coaches, officials and medical staff would require extra 60+ places to accommodate everyone.

Olympian1010 7,483 Posted December 1, 2019 #19 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Powerlifting also had their quotas increased from 80 to 96, a welcome addition of more athletes. Should be 12, instead of 10, per event now. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
