The CWG could be held at the same time anyhow so many events overlapp.Athletics world champs and world games are at the same time in same nation so it's fine. They can postpone by 4 months - 1 year. Not earlier not later with Asian Games in September.

UFC 249 has been cancelled after Disney & ESPN called Dana White and put the hammer down on his ridiculous efforts to stage the event in an Indian reservation in California (hosting the event there would allow to bypass the federal law). Well, if there's no TV cameras then the whole thing doesn't make sense anymore :p

Great, now I've got some more time to catch up. I'm already at UFC on FOX 29, Poirier vs Gaethje, 14 April 2018 :p Still within the two years (and still managed to avoid 99,99% of spoilers, such as names of events other than just the number :d )

I wouldn't say follower (since I'm so far behind and stay as far away from news about it as I can of course), but I started watching it a little around 2016 I think, and quite a lot in 2017 and 18 when I was having long (one to sometimes even three hours) trainings on my indoor bike and wanted something to watch :p 

 

Often it was MMA, sometimes a series, but I got to liking MMA and now I don't want to start watching with current events but work my way slowly back from April 2018 to live :d 

 

I don't even Google anything about it, because I don't know who the current champions are for example and very much want to keep it that way. There's only one fight of which I know the outcome (Khabib vs McGregor) because I watched that one the day after, but the rest is going to be a surprise for me for a long time to come :d

Well, you're a long way behind then. I guess you must have heard about Peter Aerts or Remy Bonjasky though? :evil:

You still have the Massacre in Massachusetts, the Hoosegow in Glasgow, the Beatdown in Cowtown and the Street Brawl in Montreal to look forward to.  :banana:

I know them from K1/kickboxing of course, yes :d 

 

Bonjasky is still on TV in the studio usually as co-host for the Glory kickboxing events. Always interesting to listen to him and good to see one of the kindest people in the sport still involved in it.

Most current mma fans have started out with K-1 & kickboxing rather than boxing. Netherlands (or Surinam & Curacao :evil: ) have always had a strong presence in K-1 so it should be popular with mma now. Alistair Overeem is still in UFC :p Bonjasky used to be my favorite K-1 fighter back in the vintage days :cheer:

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • 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.
