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.”

Lord, help us. 

Well at least they didn’t cut other disciplines to make room for it.

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.

Was doing some research today, and came across some fistball news. If the attached report is still correct, Fistball has seen major expansion. Men’s Tournament: 8 teams, and for the first time ever Women’s Tournament: 6 teams

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.

    • Club season volleyball, NFL, NHL, NBA, some tennis, Men’s World Junior Hockey Champs, Canadian Curling Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials, and Bobsleigh/Luge/Skeleton/Alpine Skiing WC’s 
    • As long as it’s not multiple countries worldwide (unless it’s countries bordering each other…), anywhere in India, Saudi Arabia, and probably even Doha I’m fine with pretty much anywhere. 
    • If Coe wins they will definitively try to host the games in Saudi Arabia at some point, but 2036 seems too early (esp with SA also having the World Cup in 2034).
    • Additional Sports at Brisbane 2032   The final sports program for Brisbane 2032 can be reasonably expected in the first half of 2028, as occurred in 2024 when confirmation of the Los Angeles Olympics final sports program was announced.   T20 Cricket Cricket is a hot favourite to continue at Brisbane 2032 following it’s debut at LA2028.   77 countries play T20 Cricket world wide according to the latest ICC World Rankings.     Flag Football This sport is actually becoming very popular in Australia and also world wide.  There are 20 million players around the globe currently playing it.Flag    So, I think it has a better than even chance of being continued at Brisbane 2032.   Flag Football played in 100 countries, 20 million players world wide   Australia embracing the rise of Flag Football   Lacrosse This is another booming sport internationally.   Australia is ranked 4th in the world in both women’s and men’s Lacrosse. It’s another sport which has a good chance to continue at Brisbane 2032.   Lacrosse was played in the Olympics in 1904 and 1908. It was a also a demonstration sport in 1928, 1932 and 1948.    AFL Nines / Rugby League Nines Both AFL and Rugby League I believe will really struggle to win a spot at Brisbane 2032.   The days of “demonstration sports” is long gone from the Olympics and I can’t honestly see either making it on to the final Brisbane 2032 program.   Netball Fast5 With both women’s and men’s teams, I think that Netball Fast5 (women’s and men’s) has got a fair chance for inclusion in 2032.   Fast5 women’s world series competitions have been played since 2009 with men’s teams included since 2022.   Australian Men’s Team wins Netball Fast5 World Series and does viral dance   Incidentally, 50 countries currently play the regular Netball format with Australia ranked No. 1 in the world.   Baseball / Softball Both have been in and out of the Olympics over the years so much its hard to keep up.  They were recently dropped for Paris 2024 but included at LA2028.   It’s 50/50 if they will continue to Brisbane 2032.   Surfing and Sport Climbing Surfing and Sport Climbing will soon be formally added to Brisbane 2032 sports program with both having earned permanent sport status from LA2028 onwards.   3x3 Basketball 3x3 Basketball is already part of Brisbane’s sports program in 2032 and will be played at the Southbank Piazza.   Karate Following it’s debut at Tokyo 2020, Karate was dropped for the Paris 2024 and LA2028 and not looking good for Brisbane.   Breaking As we know, Breaking was dropped for LA2028 and I can’t see it being included at Brisbane 2032.   Permanent Status at Olympics   Once a sport is played at three consecutive Olympic Games, it becomes a permanent sport at the Olympic Games.   So from LA2028 onwards, the following sports will be permanent in future Olympic Games:   3x3 Basketball BMX Freestyle Skateboarding Sport Climbing Surfing  
    • For that to happen, the IOC would first have to get agreement from international sporting federations, national olympic committtees and IOC members themselves to relax the current July/August Olympics hosting dates requirement and allow the Games to be held in the cooler months.     Many can be expected to oppose such a dates change as it be very disruptive to existing competitions.   When and if that such an IOC hosting rule change happens, it would certainly open the door from hot cpuntries like middle east nations such as  Saudi Arabia, Qatar or United Arab Emirates (Dubai) to host the Games say in cooler November-December.   We know that a Games in the oppressve July/August heat in the middle east would be impossible and deadly for athletes, officials and spectators.   So there’s a lot of hoops to jump through first before such a dates change can occur.  With Games in these New Norm days being awarded around 10 years or so ahead of the Games, that means there’s actually not a lot of time to get this through before 2026 comes around, which is the 10 year mark before a 2036 Summer Olympics.

    • What are your impressions of the Italian team in the first part of the season? What were your expectations?
    • The Italian team is still doing terribly. While there has been stabilization at an average level for women, there has been a dramatic downward slide for men. Today the only skier in the top 30 was Elia Barp - 23rd place. The rest without comment. Pellegrino is already going down due to age. De Fabiani is missing from 2 seasons, Graz isn`t making any progress. The only hope is Barp but he is also very unstable. Compared to the French team, we are 10 years behind I no longer believe that we will ever be reborn in this sport. If starting at home and having a theoretical advantage in materials, we are able to have 1 skier to 30 in the freestyle technique, which has always been better for us, it's hard to even comment on that.
    • All three women at todays podium was born 1988
    • Ebba Andersson 32nd. Meltdown continues. I wonder if she got the same infection as Dahlqvist and Hagström
