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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,560 Posted August 22, 2020 #704 Share Posted August 22, 2020 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.. 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!

pdr4332 149 Posted August 31, 2020 #709 Share Posted August 31, 2020 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 rybak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
