I hate that international sports tours/series are always willing to give up their Pan American stops first.

That's because 3 of said stops are in countries in which their government are doing crap about the Pandemic, so why risk any contagions for the people working in the series?

No, I get that. F1 made that right call for this season. 
 

It just seems that even under normal circumstances, Pan American events (in any sport, not just auto racing) are always the first gone when there’s a problem. Maybe I’m just starting to go a little quarantine crazy though :p

Plus, in second half of October, early Nov it is not ideal racing weather in Canada, even if the F1 wanted to got to the other half of the planet (a logistical and quarantining nightmare in these conditions) just for one race.

 

This is why I think that the Malaysia rumor mentioned in the topic earlier would make sense only if they also can go to Vietnam (not a sure thing)

 

So probably they will stick to Eur + Mideast this year - not ideal of course but at least they could pull off even this (and so far without much Covid infections)

Martin Brundle said this during the first round of the season - he expected this season to be Europe + Middle East only. USA and Brazil are the two biggest COVID hotspots right now so it's not a surprise these two races got axed from F1. And it makes no sense to have one fly away round in Mexico either.

Sergio Perez will not be able to race in this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone after he tested positive for Covid-19.

    • She's quite well-known in the world of alpine skiing, and besides, she's had several serious injuries and always returned to a high level. Now, for me, she has a chance to win a medal in the giant slalom on OG.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately show the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
