World Championships in road cycling (Scheduled for late September) are cancelled.

Mainly because Switzerland extended its ban on events over 1,000 people. I’d say where pretty close to reckoning day for 2021 Winter Universaide as well. One more extension might do them in too.

I wonder what the chances are for the North American cross-country skiing competitions. Surely these World Cups have been cancelled not necessarily because of the event itself, but because of people travelling from all over the world? That would make the chance smaller that the North American FIS races in cross-country skiing (not World Cups) are cancelled, but it's interesting to follow what's going to happen to those..

Winter Universiade 2021 is postponed.

Not officially, there’s a possibility they just choose to cancel the Games outright.

Ok, sorry.

No, it’s fine. I’m just being a little bum hurt about the Games being called off.

Aand here we go - winter sport event cancellations to begin:

 

https://www.isu.org/isu-news/news/145-news/13250-isu-world-cup-speed-skating-isu-world-cup-short-track-speed-skating-events-in-2020?templateParam=15&fbclid=IwAR39elRcMY5f936s-bb0JzCA_H-2mvybVXZitjds_qxJI8llnzLuI-1IjWw

 

The following ISU World Cup Speed Skating Competitions are therefore cancelled:

Tomaszow-Mazowiecki, POL November 13-15, 2020

Stavanger, NOR                     November 20-22, 2020

Salt Lake City, USA                December 4-6, 2020

Calgary, CAN                        December 11-13, 2020

 

The following ISU World Cup Short Track Competitions are therefore cancelled:

Montreal, CAN            November 6-8, 2020

Laval, CAN                 November 13-15, 2020

 

Of course it makes sense as these are indoor events. But still remains to be seen whether and how "classic" winter events like alpine skiing, ski jumping, cross country, etc. will be affected

    • CAS made its decision in 2022 because it knew if it went in favour of Russia a lot of global sport would simply quit CAS.
    • Since this is my favorite Olympic sport, let's try and predict who the qualifiers will be (or at least the NOCs).   Boulder: 12 athletes per gender, 2 max per NOC, 1 host quota, 1 universality, quota is to the athlete by name Lead: Same as Boulder Speed: 14 athletes per gender, same other restrictions   Continental Restrictions (same for each discipline, below is listed per gender): 1 definite from Americas (from PanAm games in 2027) 1 definite from Europe (from European Games in 2027) 1 definite each from Asia, Africa, Oceania (from separate World Climbing Qualifiers in 2027)   The others come from the winners of the disciplines at the WCh in 2027, and then the top 4 (B/L) or 6 (S) from the OQS in 2028.   Then add host and universality.  (If either of these go unused, then it goes to the next highest from the OQS.   One thing I haven't quite understood is what happens if the same athlete wins a quota in, for instance, both Boulder and Lead.  Will it be just that athlete to compete in both, or will the athlete be able to compete in both, and another quota is available to the NOC or the next highest?     Boulder Lead Speed   M F M F M F PanAm  Colin Duffy   Brooke Raboutou  Colin Duffy  Brooke Raboutou  Sam Watson  Emma Hunt European  Mejdi Schalk  Janja Garnbret  Alberto Ginés López  Janja Garnbret  Yaroslav Tkach  One of the Kaluckas Asia        Chaehyun Seo     Africa             Oceania    Oceania McKenzie    Oceania McKenzie     World Champs  Toby Roberts  Erin McNeice    Annie Sanders     OQS      Toby Roberts  Laura Rogora  Zach Hammer   OQS          Aimur Maimuratov   OQS      Max Bertone       OQS     Oriane Bertone         OQS x x x x     OQS x x x x     Host (Reallocate)     Annie Sanders    Erin McNeice     Universality Reallocate   Reallocate   Reallocate    Reallocate    Nassar Borjaib Reallocate       How terribly did I do? :)
    • Yes, GB for example, have players who are only eligible because of the following rules.   The player has one parent who is, or if deceased was, a citizen of the nation the team represents. The player has one parent who was born in the nation or territory the team represents   GB's best player, Jazz Chisholm, only qualifies because his father was born in the Bahamas when it was still a British colony and had a "British Overseas Citizenship" until the Bahamas became independent. Jazz will never gets a true UK passport because the government citizenship laws do not  allow it.
    • Ideson for the win!    Another 8th end 3, and  defeat  6-5 to improve to 6-0, despite giving up a steal of 3 in the previous end
    • Scott ritter said that    Media of Satanyahu hides many things , they even prohibite filming destruction of iranian missiles , you risk the jail      Found it   
    • Thxx. Now it makes sense. I imagined they had helped Russia, but other countries did it too, and I didn't understand why they specifically had been banned.
    • in this tournament the rules about elegibilty of the players are less strict than those of the IOC  teams like GB or ITA or some others might have to give up on some of their best players in today's team (who are actually north Americans with not so tight heritage to the Country) when playing the next qualification tournaments and, if there, the Olympic event itself
    • For anyone else reading this and thinking "huh?": there isn't any verification or anything about this, and the main claim from this was posted together with a video of a house on fire...in New Jersey...weeks ago.
