Meh, that's now a global event every year. They really should have left something for the continents to have...

 

Nah, only in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, then we go back to normal :banana: 

 

Personally I quite like it, more world championships and less of the continental championships that often feel a bit depleted anyway.

I can barely remember that anyway even if I've watched every single final live, nothing changes for me there :p 

 

The previous Olympics are a little over two years ago and with most events - even though I've seen them - I'm gonna need Wikipedia to know who won.

The Worlds really meant something when it was every four years, and in the era of Olympic boycotts.  Now....well I guess it keeps lots of the smaller federations afloat with TV money.

There isn’t many bright sides to sport being cancelled for presumably a year, but 2022 is going to be f***ing epic!

    • Argentina also has ski centers on the Tierra del Fuego but that doesn't mean it will immediately become a powerhouse in this sport 
    • Speak for yourself. Why should we give up our one great talent of the younger generation when we have no one else? Maybe from the same reason that the USA didn't give up Schiffrin to another country when she had 17-18...
    • A very ignorant statement.   Of course the UK is not exactly known for its winter sport but there are some ski resorts mainly in Scotland, like the Cairngorms or the Nevis Range.
    • But in women's epee another defeat by Ukraine. We are slowly developing a complex about this country, because we are constantly losing to them in sabre too. Sabre has always been Ukrainian, epee for a draw or our slight advantage but a failed in women`s foil, which is already a shocking novelty  
    • What comeback for the italian men's foil team in the finals vs the USA  Bianchi won 9-3 against Massialas in the last bout 
    • Not often your prayers  get answered so quickly!  
    • Boxing cangaroo instead of regular boxing.
