European Championships 2022

[Mkbw50 438]

Here's an amusing blunder on the website - in the list of nations it has "World Triathlon" (using the code 'TRI') because some athletes go as independents (I remember someone was changing her designation from to or the other way around and midway through she had 'TRI'). Someone's put the code in and it's come up with the flag!

Is this 'alive' in your countries in terms of visibility? Dutch NOS sure has some articles about it on their website, but in terms of actually showing stuff, it seems like it'll stay with a few minutes in the daily sports news and probably a daily live stream on their website, which you can't watch on-demand (or even pause) and so you either watch it live, or you don't watch it at all.

 

Mostly feels like NOS is kind of ignoring it, which makes me curious about other countries. Curious in the sense that hopefully there will be good options to see especially stuff like athletics, swimming, track cycling (and of course road, but we've got Belgian TV for that no doubt) and possibly rowing.

 the BBC is doing a lot.  The Worlds in Aquatics & Athletics were both quite low key, but the Commonwealths got big coverage and this is going to be Part III of the trilogy for them.  Cycling, gymnastics, rowing and triathlon always get good coverage as well. Canoeing & Climbing don't have so much of a profile.   And it definitely is being presented as a single entity, not as a random collection of things going on at the same time.

Kinda. We will have daily coverage on our public television, but mostly on a secondary channel. For sports outside of athletics, it will make a massive difference with the coverage they usualy get during their Euros.

 

I don't watch TV outside of sport, so I don't really know if they promoted it in a big way these last days. 

 

On today's l'Equipe there were seven pages presenting the event.

 

 

BTW: European Athletics is fucking retarded. They believe they won't lose anything by going solo in the future. Sure because, we all know, the athletics world championships are as popular as athletics during the olympics

Thanks. I've got the cycling covered: Eurosport Player has all of the track cycling (and surprisingly NOS might even have it on TV as well), so that'll be no problem.

 

Which leaves especially the morning sessions in athletics, I think. And the swimming, although officially that's not part of Munich it is of course part of the next two weeks of sports  

 

Sports like climbing or canoeing are absolutely tiny here, so I don't think NOS has much of a reason to suddenly show their European championships, sadly.

I'd say so - the BBC are giving this proper TV studio coverage.

 

The 'average Joe' probably doesn't really care though.

[De_Gambassi 1,223]

The interview of the swiss guy running the show is interesting, I didn't know they had an athletes cap (4700). He says that if the event was to grow further than that, they would have to build an athletes village.

 

Possibly, the future of these games championships would be be to split it further between multiple hosts. This way, it would leave the opportunity for federations to move wherever they wish, you won't have to build anything, and you pretty much can add as many sports as you want.

 

From a telespectator point of view, it wouldn't change much anyway.

In our country it is a massive deal for national broadcaster, because they lost a lot of important sports in last years, Eurobasket and Volley Worlds are being shown on commercial TV stations.

 

Therefore they are trying to put as much effort on promotion of European Championships as they can.

Yeah, same as in .  The BBC don’t have the best stuff anymore, so go full blast with what they still have.
