I didn’t want to jinx anything, but I just arrived in Birmingham to cover The World Games 2022    It’s my first time attending a multi-sports games in-person, so hopefully it’s an enjoyable

Just tuned in for the powerlifting.   Surely this is not a serious sport? If you need 5 (!) officials standing around, protecting each athlete, then maybe just don't do it?

It will go to December I believe because few quotas come from Tokyo Paralympics .

No, no one wants to be in Birmingham to begin with, let alone in December :p

World Games either earlier in 2021 than planned or similar dates in 2022.

I think they should just move games exactly one week forward. It’s the perfect window for the games, and a great appetizer for Tokyo2020.

Not happy really. I was confident that I could report on the games in 2021, but I’m not sure if that will be the case in 2022. It is, what it is. I’m growing more furious with the Olympics move every day though.

Keeping to the original dates in July 2021 would have meant excluding many athletes and officials involved in the Olympics

 

Which athletes? Recurve shooters, climbers and karatekas (although it'd be weird if the World Games had the exact same events)?

Softball, and Compound archers too (as the Paralympics act as a qualification event (the best Paralympic archers in each gender qualify).

@Sindo Could we please change the name to World Games 2022?

I mean in terms of Olympic athletes, so no compound archers :p 

 

Women's softball then I guess. Any idea if the same level of players are expected to be active there in both the Olympics and World Games?

I would assume so since Softball will be left off the 2024 Olympic program, but who knows at this point :dunno:

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
