I had a glance at the first results today and is the whole thing going to unfold as a mini-Asian games Don't know, if this being in China is a factor and what kind of teams the other Continents are sending. In general, it appears that the Universiades have lost their importance in the big sporting calendar compared to the 10 years ago, let alone 20-30 years ago. I don't know about the 2nd part but yeah Asian nations are sending bigger contingents being nearby. Our squad in 2019 was almost half and if such games happen in Americas maybe still smaller squad of 50-60 maybe sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In European Athletics there is definitely more emphasis on the annual U-20s (next week) & U-23s (couple of weeks ago). Maybe also in rowing, canoeing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,479 Posted July 30, 2023 #124 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) Wushu is basically unwatchable because of the slowdown/speed-up thing FISU.TV is doing. What a shame. I want to watch stuff, but I might as well just follow the results if this is the quality and of the coverage. Hopefully the replays are better (if they get published).

Olympian1010 7,479 Posted July 30, 2023 #125 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Double 4th for Yun with yet another gold in wushu. with a nice silver, but he was a little over scored in my opinion (which shouldn’t matter that much as I know almost nothing about wushu). “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,479 Posted July 30, 2023 #127 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Ni bags a wushu medal (silver). I wasn’t sure the United States would get a medal. We have some athletes with a good level, but obviously the sport is very unknown in the US. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
