Well duh. That’s what they’ve said the entire time. They intend to wait until late May/early June to decide though from the insider talk I’ve heard.

This makes sense. If there's a visible decline in China/Korea come the end of April we could establish the outbreak will be in decline elsewhere too. Things could be back to normal in Japan come July.

IndyCar races have been suspended until the end of April (with Long Beach having been cancelled earlier already).

 

Of course month of May is the peak of IndyCar with Indianapolis 500 scheduled on the last Sunday of the month. Even the Spanish flu in 1918-19 didn't force Indy 500 to be held outside of May!

Badminton 

"The BWF announced late this evening, Kuala Lumpur time, that it had taken the necessary step to suspend all HSBC BWF World Tour and other BWF-sanctioned tournaments from Monday 16 March until Sunday 12 April 2020.

Tournaments affected include the YONEX Swiss Open 2020, YONEX-SUNRISE India Open 2020, Orléans Masters 2020, CELCOM Axiata Malaysia Open 2020, and Singapore Open 2020, as well as a number of international Grade 3 tournaments.

A number of the tournaments impacted as a result of the suspension fall within the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualifying period. BWF will make a further announcement on regulations related to Olympic qualification points at a later date".

I think you can look at the outbreak in five distinct phases...... 

 

First only Wuhan and hubei...... 

 

Second rest of China 

 

Third South Korea / Japan and diamond princess 

 

Fourth Iran and Italy 

 

Fifth - core western Europe ( France / Germany / Switzerland /UK / Spain / Netherlands / Belgium) 

 

 

It is clear than china seems to have contained the virus reporting less than 20-30 cases daily 

 

Then Korea - japan seem to have also contained the outbreak..... Just 150-200 cases 

 

I think right now the outbreak is rampant in Italy / Iran with more than 4000 plus cases today 

 

The cases in Western Europe are again close to 4500 cases between these countries..... 

 

Most of the other countries are mostly getting travels from the outbreak regions which is totalling the last 1000 odd..... 

 

If we are able to cut the cases in Iran + western Europe the rest will fall in place......

 

Provided US  or Scandinavia does not get into the explosive growth phase .... Both seem to going there.... ?.....

NASCAR has postponed at least the next two races as well.

FEI "strongly recommends" cancelling all competitions for a month.

 

Which is interesting, since several shows have already announced different intentions. Some even still plan to allow the spectators to be there. :facepalm:

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
