Definitely enjoyed these games. Had the luxury of staying with a friend in Coventry so got to see a lot of the events up close along with the opening ceremony. Great atmosphere and the whole city was buzzing so still coming down off the high of it all.

 

England had a good games securing a record number of medals. Slightly disappointed we missed out on Golds in some of the team events but enjoyed the Gymnastics, Athletics along with the Basketball and Beach Volleyball which I previously hadnt seen much of but think I could get used to those sports. In general pleased to see all the home nations doing well along with all the others who are going home with hopefully a lot of good memories.

I think one of the key lessons is not to charge silly prices for tickets. One of the great sights were seeing how many families were there with children. That’s where Eugene messed up

Couldn't agree more. 

 

I had always wanted to watch a gymnastics event, and saw one this time around, then thought I'd look at the ticket prices for Liverpool in October, and they are like twice the price.

Some surprising inclusions. Sad to see judo left off the program. It would appear rhythmic gymnastics has also been dropped.

Victoria 2026 sports:


Athletics and Para-Athletics; Badminton; Basketball (3×3 and 3×3 Wheelchair); Boxing; Beach Volleyball; Coastal Rowing; T20 Cricket (Women’s only); Cycling (BMX, Mountain Bike, Road, Track and Para-Track); Diving; Golf; Gymnastics; Hockey; Lawn Bowls and Para Lawn Bowls; Netball; Para-Powerlifting; Rugby Sevens; Shooting and Para-shooting; Squash; Table Tennis and Para-Table Tennis;

Triathlon and Para-Triathlon; Weightlifting.

 

well for India .... It's really good to see shooting back.... With the inclusion of para shooting and judo being dropped India will almost surely regain third place beating Canada 

 

But on the list of sports.... Really dropping wrestling is stupid... It is one of the CWG sports where you will see some of the top names in action.... India, Nigeria and Canada have a good cast of wrestlers who win medals at the world championships .... 

 

rhythmic gymnastics and judo being dropped are welcome the standard of these sports in cwg is pathetic by world standard...

 

Even though India wins medals in judo it is good to drop these sports.....

 

Another cycling event being added is terrible from the global interest point of view so bad choice.....

 

I love the  idea of coastal rowing being added 👍

 

Golf is ok i guess..... But would have preferred more exciting choices like sports climbing

I'm of the opinion that an entrant must actually win a match for them to be eligible for a medal. I guess the :NZL athlete technically did win due to DSQ.

    • Though I did just see that today's race isn't valid for FIS points.
    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).
