It’s just so flawed it’s crazy. The burden is always on either Aus or Uk to host it, don’t really ever see Canada or New Zealand doing as much to try and host. No disrespect intended to our kiwi friends but I don’t think they can host a major sporting event at this scope without co-hosting with Australia. 

It’s not that much bigger than 1990 when they hosted it.

That was probably the death blow for the games. 

 

Don't mean to sound like a certain user however 

Unfortunately, I agree. We'll miss them when they're gone.

 

But I think they're gone.

I do feel bad for athletes from places like :FLK:NFK:TCA:NIU (etc.)

Its not happening, or its gonna be a group of Commonwealth Championships under multiple hosts and one medal table imo

I think that would be too difficult for 2026 but could work for 2030 with the UK coordinating things and hosting adapted  ceremonies as capital of ths Commonwealth and the middle of Time. Could also host the Athletics in the UK.

So it's not dead - yet.

 

 

Commonwealth Games to decide on next host in May
 

It's an interestingly bullish statement. Suspect from this statement they may bite the bullet and separate the Games out into individual Championships for 2026, and style it out, before swinging toward a centenary games in 2030

Curiouser and curiouser - rumours now that CGF are about toward TWO games, in succession, to West Africa - Ghana has apparently offered to host 2026 using African Games venues (which makes obvious sense), with government approval, while Nigeria is interested in 2030. Tempted to wonder if a combined ghana nigeria 2026 would be better, but whatever works.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
