Which Sports Events are you Currently Watching?

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

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
