Vektor 3,325 Posted March 20, 2020 #551 Share Posted March 20, 2020 LEN Aquatics European Championships postponed to August 17-30, 2020. Hm, it makes absolutely no sense to have this right after SOG, and if SOG gets postponed to next year, why would LEN be able to host this in 2020?

Because hosting European championships is most likely easier than hosting Olympics. Having it right after the Olympics makes no sense, I agree, but then again: it's only the European championships, they never feel like that many people and athletes really care If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 3,362 Posted March 20, 2020 #553 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Snooker World Championships in May also postponed. OK we are all going to argue whether it’s a sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,210 Posted March 20, 2020 #555 Share Posted March 20, 2020 At this point pretty much every equestrian competition until June is cancelled. And then even some from June/July are already off as well. Having the Olympics in July without any proper competition beforehand is absolutely imaginable. Equestrian isn't rowing or something. Competition milage is extremely important going into championships... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they do realize they are at home, so the first competitions after a longer stay at home are not always optimal. Plus, this situation creates some major team selection concerns. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because generally everyone says the exact same thing about every sport Having competition 'milage' under your belt is important in any sport to perform well..

And it's not the same for all sports. There is a reason why rowing has like three World Cups and that's it. And even those have only like 5 entries sometimes. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
