And what events aren't being streamed?  Looks like a pretty big list to me.  Things like archery prelims which have never been shown on TV in the entire history of mankind?  

 

Only way they can mess it up is if they replace the current graphics with "Sweden 5 Norway 4 on Golden Point" after the match takes place.......  

Yeah, just keep neutral thumbnails, for the love of your deity of choice. Also, please, no bullshit like highlight markers in the progress bar (like NOS often does).

If I've understood the IOF correctly, only the men/women sprint in orienteering will be broadcast (but middle distance and mixed relay should have live tracking, which can still be fun/interesting to follow.)

Here is my quick run down of Day -1 (I think that's what it is?) I don't know. But I figured I would share my predictions on here!

Yeah, would be normal for a Games on a budget not to want to do big and complicated outside broadcasts over miles of open country.

Day -2 I'd say.  Thursday will be Day -1, Friday Day 0, Saturday Day 1.

Speaking of predictions, Italy has a long tradition at the World Games. We hope for a top 5 finish in the medal table + top 3 for total number of medals. This year's programme puts us at a slight disadvantage, with some of our events being dropped.

We should definitely get a gold and then let's see what non-korfball brings

I'm not sure what's going on with that article, but their preview/overview article also mentions her withdrawal.
