There are two big holes in the global sporting calendar every year. Late March, when the Winter season ends, to mid-May, when the mainstream summer sports again.  Then late September to mid-November, when the opposite happens.

 

So what I’ve got now is:

 

Cycling season at full steam

North & South hemisphere Rugby League season ditto.

NCAA softball & volleyball

Curling World Champs

 

Don’t watch soccer anymore - used to like it up till the early 90s, but now it’s just a global money laundering front. :sick:
 

Currently watching UK Open indoor lawn bowls - it’s like Curling for overweight middle-aged people!

c'mon, man! the NHL is getting hot and it's playoff hockey time all around Europe!

 

and next week there are the NCAA men's Frozen Four, too...

 

to be added this week to the Wrestling Europeans and, today through Sunday, to the Judo Grand Slam tournament in Antalya...

 

some Euroleague basketball is also in the mix...

 

and from Thursday, the MLB is also going to start...

 

and you say that this period is a hole in the sports calendar? :yikes: :finger: 

 

this is close to the best time of the year, I'd say! :cheer:

Yeah... Bummer...

 

However at the same time Slovan scored the winner in my TV, our U18 scored the promotion goal in my notebook so was like a mixed one hand joy jump with palmface with the other hand :p

 

Damn that :DEN goalie, that was something...A true brick wall

    • I actually think the WDSF did a reasonably good job running the Olympic event (like whatever people think of breaking, the actual breaking competition was well run).   But there is definitively a lot of incompetence when it comes to how that federation runs breaking in general. Which is why I think you see most athletes not engage with WDSF events outside of when they had to qualify for the Olympics.

    • those who say that in the future, due to global warming and lack of snow, all sports at the Winter Olympics will have to be held indoors. Do you even think about what you are talking about? The FIS Cross-Country World Cup distances are 20 km skiathlon and 50 km mass start. Is there even a facility in the world that can host 20 and 50 km races? Is it possible? Well, let's imagine that such a facility was built somewhere in Paris and Monaco. Les Rousses spent so much money on building the tracks and infrastructure and then kicked it out of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup because Paris and Monaco, which have more money came to the FIS Cross-Country World Cup. Places like Les Rousses would simply go bankrupt trying to popularize the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, do we really need that?
    • Any word about TV Coverage?  Discovery has the five senior races as normal, but no sign of the age group races.  Locked away on Belgian payTV?
    • Ah good, was wondering what the relationship of Endurance Rowing was to Coastal Rowing.  They're wimping out a bit holding it at Genoa though, would prefer somewhere a bit more storm-tossed.  
    • This was pretty fun to watch  Coverage was fine, racing was fun, no problem at all.
    • Thanks @phelps for gathering information   but World Skate is an Olympic federation now, yet they can't provide a basic result system for their main event.    OK I'm not asking for a live score system, but how hard it is to post results in PDF after each event ?    not talking about the sport but this IF doesn't deserve to be in the Olympics. 
    • from Thursday, Sept. 12th through Sunday, Sept. 15th,  Genua hosts the Coastal Rowing World Championships in the Olympic Format (Beach Sprint)   it's the first championship since the discipline has been elected to the Olympic stage   last week, the Endurance World Championships were also held in Genua     the champions:   CW1x:  Monika Dukarska   CM1x:  Finlay Hamill   CW2x:  Katharina Lobnig, Magdalena Lobnig CM2x:  Igor Khmara, Stanislav Kovalov CW4x+:  Anna Sarah Sophie Souwer, Kiri English-Hawke, Marieke Keijser, Karolien Florijn, Dieuwke Fetter CM4x+:  Yuriy Ivanov, Mykola Mazur, Ivan Futryk, Ivan Dovhodko, Anastasiia Kozyr CMix2x:  Patricio Rojas Aznar, Amanda Gil Camacho
