Finals are about to start
First world champs I'm ever watching and it's with non-Olympic events and missing countries. Anyhow, lots of these events look like they make more sense than some on the Olympic program anyway
Bit of a mediocre website, by the way, with this somewhat vague schedule:
https://tow2024.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Schedule.pdf
It mentions weight classes in different times and sessions, but doesn't say what it actually is (group matches? finals? something?).
as if there were more Nations seriously participating in things like BMX Freestyle, Lacrosse, Flag Football and so on
make it an Olympic sport and we'll see how many Nations start competing (just an example: look at the Karate usual medal tables before it was named Olympic and then look at the same medal tables in the 5-year span when it had the Olympic status...I know it's different than just participating, but still)
the Olympic aura changes everything for those non (fully) professional disciplines
yes, this is a first time in the MLB, but it did happen before in the minors (a player named Dale Holman in 1986), but the distance between the start and the resume of that game was actually a lot bigger than in this case
however, the world of US PRO sports* is filled with some crazy "market moves", with players traded in the middle of a game and/or playing twice in a day for 2 different teams

*actually, it happened also in football (European version, AKA soccer)

I thought that'd make for a cool little article in Dutch, but then....damn, how is he not Dutch with that name?
So the only Danny Jansen in Dutch sports remains this mullet and the body that's attached to it.
