India will not boycott the 2022 Commonwealth Games. They will attend in full force. They also announced their intentions to bid for 2026 or 2030 edition of the games.

 

India is now set to bid for 2026 Commonwealth Games, 2030 Asian Games, 2032 Summer Olympics

I suspect India will be bringing back the pairs events as an opportunity to boost their medal tally at the 2022 Games.

What a joke. I wonder what they will do for 2030? Canada will likely host and has not proposed shooting as a sport (I sent this is a reminder to the Hamilton bid committee but they won't budge.)

Any inside knowledge you can share as to the sports we could expect to see on their bid? (Anything different than 2022)

It'll be mostly mixed team events from what I hear. So even taken to it's extreme there will only be 26 shooting events vs. 19 that was present in 2018. 36 events were present in 2010.

Nothing different than in 2022. THe 16 core sports + 3x3 basketball, cricket (women) + cycling track + diving and beach volleyball. Diving would be held in Toronto, at the Pan Am Venue, nice legacy left from those games.

 

In 2010, they did propose a soccer tournament (something new), but that is not in this proposal.

Football would’ve been nice. I wouldn’t mind seeing lacrosse added as a nod to the native peoples of Canada, or another more common “American” sport.

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE

    • Curling will have 14 participating nations, with the men's and mixed doubles events have a group stage (surely a first for an international MSE event? @Olympian1010?)   Mixed doubles   Group A:   I believe this is Turkmenistan's (and possibly Thailand and Kuwait) international curling debut.   Group B:   Women's:   Men's:   Group A:   Group B:
