2022 World Games will counts as World Championships

Ooh, Softball tournament is going to be top class. I guess I’ll have to make a few visits to that venue if I get my accreditation.

So the 2021 World Baseball Classic is postponed? Or World Softball Championships? (which I have zero knowledge of) :p

 

so far, it's only the Softball activity...

 

but I fear that also the next WBC would eventually be moved to 2022, as the Baseball Olympic qualifiers (both the Panamerican tournament and the Global "last chance" tournament) have to be rescheduled for early Spring 2021...

 

 

p.s. the new KBO (South Korean pro baseball league) season starts tomorrow (all 5 scheduled games should start at 7 a.m. CET)...

all the games of the season are available for free on Twitch.tv (search for KBO channel on that platform)...;)

NPB, the Japanese top tier Professional Baseball League(s) is/are starting in less than half a hour...:cheer:

for schedule, results and stats, this is the official website of NPB:

and here some thoughts/previews about the upcoming season (all credits to the Japan Times):

 

Central League

a couple of places (paid service only, sorry, but there's no chance to get it for free) where to watch Japanese Baseball:

 

http://www.isakuraiptv.com/ (with the 96 channel lineup, you're sure to get all the games from the start to to the end of the season, Japan Series included)

 

https://tv.pacificleague.jp/ptv/pc/ (this is only a partial way to follow NPB, as it's the official OTT service of the Pacific League only...and of course it doesn't include the Central League games -both RS and PO- nor the Japan Series)...

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • 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.
