I keep complete results books for all multi-sports games since 2013, if you ever need anything let me :yes. I’d also recommend using the Olympic Library if you haven’t.

For now, I try to be up to date, but it is a difficult task myself ;). Today, for example, I fight the results of the first rounds in the badminton Korea Open and I have to write down the results of the ladies during the European beach volleyball championships :d.

Thanks mate. Always enjoyed reading the forum, getting close to Tokyo so decided to join. 

Damn, just noticed we have another user younger than me. Am I getting old?

You haven’t lived until you try to find the Games of the Small States of Europe results from years ago :p. I was just surprised to find complete results for the 2017 and 2013 Jeux De La Francophonie.

You haven't lived until you try to find time schedule of all EYOFs (both, summer and winter). No, I still haven't. :)

If I get it in my free time. I can promise you help finding Jeux De La Francophonie. Only remind regularly. Because despite good memory, I often forget about it :d. But I must admit that I honestly thought that I was a "fucker" about niche sports and events, but finally someone found myself on a similar level as me. :d

Yeah I found the results this weekend and I was pumped :cool:. I’m creating a database of results for multi-sports games. @MHSN does similar activities too I believe.

My tasks are less ambitious, because today I am downloading myself for the upcoming games. And who knows what will shoot my mind before the struggles in Paris. And besides the little-known games, do you also follow niche sports? @Olympian1010 @MHSN Because I do.

Yes, Fistball, Roller Sports, Finswimming, Flying Disc, Bandy, and Ice Climbing. I’m going post my results books on a different thread after the 2019 ANOC World Beach Games so that people can have access to them. Hopefully you find something new for yourself in there.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
