TeamGB 73 Posted March 5 #1 Share Posted March 5 UK sport released a list of major events they want to host in the next decade. https://www.uksport.gov.uk/-/media/files/events/confidential-uk-sport-international-event-hosting-opportunities-march-2024.ashx?la=en&hash=C1340F6E1FD212E2B309E76C1927150C On first glance it looks promising, especially the amount of team sports world cups, as well as sports where GB aren't as strong, such as climbing/weightlifting. However, my biggest peeve has to be the lack of swimming events. Behind cycling, it brought home the most Golds in Tokyo, but the UK has never hosted a world championships. Obviously I'm biased but I think we need to host some aquatics championships in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangehair43 177 Posted March 5 #3 Share Posted March 5 I will be surprised if many of these are successful. There is not the money. Birmingham European Athletics 2026 still could be cancelled for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
