Sorry for spreading this virus but I had to do something to make this happen  

 

The Mugello round is scheduled for May 31st. That's the big deadline test. Misano is held in September so under no immediate threat right now.

It's not sports, but the E3 has been cancelled, which is a rather big deal in game world.

Assen 18-19 April and Imola 9-10 May will give a pretty good indication as well, since both WSBK and MotoGP are Dorna events.

Due to the current situation in Italy, the Italian Gymnastics Federation has decided to cancel the Jesolo Cup in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics that was scheduled on 4-5 April.
Artistic Gymnastics – The Doha Apparatus World Cup (18-21 March 2020) is now postponed to 3-6 June 2020.
Rhythmic Gymnastics – The Pesaro World Cup (3-5 April) is now postponed to 5-7 June 2020
Trampoline Gymnastics – The Brescia World Cup (24-25 April) is now postponed to 19-20 June 2020.

Also, the artistic gymnastics all around world cup in Stuttgart has been canceled. This is insane. I would be okay with a closed doors event, but canceling it is one of the worst things that could happen to the Olympic qualification system.

Can’t wait to read everyone’s “end of the year” posts at this point 

 

At this 2021 is looking like a jam-packed year. Personally, I’d prefer moving the Summer Olympics to 2022 (if we have to). We can get some of the old “happens every four years” nostalgia back, and there’s way less international sporting events that year. Athletes would also have a shorter season geared specifically for the Olympics. If this were to happen, I’d almost be in favor of full reset of Olympic qualifications.

Microsoft already pulled out weeks ago. The conference was already dead

Indoor equestrian shows are meanwhile mostly going ahead behind closed doors. Both Signal Iduna Cup and Indoor Brabant this weekend.

Right, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and Volleyball World Champs would be screwed by this. No way they postpone SOG by two full years. They're lucky enough the Qatar World Cup will be held in December already. This means football (soccer) season will start early and would overlap with the SOG if they are moved to 2022.

It seems I'm going to have some quiet weeks when it comes to my weekly updates on qualified athletes...

+ I can easily imagine   could sue our league and ice hockey federation in court.

 

Your two clubs DVTK and MAC Budapest have paid really BIG money thanks to your government help to play two seasons in our league, now the league is canceled 3 rounds before hte end of the regular season + both clubs were well in way to qualify for the play-offs, especially in Miskolc the matches used to be sold out quite regullarly...

Well I am not so much well versed in the ice hockey world, but as for the law suit, EBEL and DEL is canceled the same way you did - will there be law suits as well? 

With regards to other sports, it seems now at the short term every event will be either canceled or matches played behind closed doors

One of the wonders of Hungarian club football is that there are first league matches with an attendance figure of around 500, so they could go on with open doors, complying with the new rules 

Probably the bigger head-ache here for those concerned is the fate of the Giro'd Italia (the state paid a lot of money to organize the Grande partenza) and the Euro 2020
