Thanks for your input, yes that makes sense.

 

What we could start to do is to add a link to the relevant calendar event. Example.

 

If you click on Cycling (Mountain Bike) you will be redirected to the calendar event of the 2024 Mountain Bike WCs, with links to the results system.

 

This can be done for all events quite quickly. Something longer to realize, but still very possible, would be to add the the world championships medallists (and maybe also the previous olympic ones, so that we have the complete results of the Olympic quadriennium), in the qualification trackers for each event.

 

For example, the Archery medals would redirect to a page like this (of course for LA28 and not for Paris), where each tab also includes the medallists of Paris 2024 and all the world championships of that event between Paris and LA.

Thank you for the reply.  I think both things you suggested are great thoughts.  The calendar with links looks great.  As for the addition in the Qualification by Sport page, I like the thought of being able to track over time who has held the title, and being able to navigate between sports easily.

Skateboarding: I have considered 2024 World Games as World Championships, for 2025 I will consider the World Skateboarding Tour (WST) contested in Rome in June, there are no other official "World Championships" right?

Actually, it looks like the 2025 Skateboarding World Championships will be contested in Washington in September  https://www.facebook.com/worldskatesb/posts/the-wst-is-back-and-we-are-delighted-to-officially-announce-the-2025-schedule-fo/1320781443131178/

 

I have removed the medals from the 2025 WST Rome.

This can be a future addition, I will think about something in the next weeks.

Question, as I (a newbie here) learn about how this site operates: I see that there are over 300 disciplines tracked on the WCH tracker.  Most of them are due to the 2025 WCHs, but I see that some (tennis, golf, e.g.) are based on world rankings at the end of the year.  The tracker, though, doesn't have all of the events.  The one I notice is Equestrian, and there are probably others.  I think they have WCH in 2026, but in 2025, could there be a way to indicate a 'podium' for the events for the year?  (There are events like the Nations Cup, and there are individual rankings, etc.)

 

But perhaps the goal isn't to have all events covered.  Many (probably most) sports don't have WCH each year, and perhaps the tracker is just for the WCHs contested that year (with a few exceptions).

Yes, correct.

 

I would say 90-95% of the events have a "regular" World Championships, some of them held annually, some bi-annually, some even just once in the Olympic quadriennium (Football, Field Hockey, Equestrian). So the priority is on the "regular" World Championships, Equestrian will have World Championships in 2026 so in 2025 and 2027 no World Championships will be counted for that sport, and the medals won at the 2026 World Championships will not "expire" before the Olympics. Other sports like Athletics and Swimming have World Championships held bi-annually, so there are World Championships in 2025, no World Championships in 2026, and then again in 2027 which will "overwrite" the 2025 World Championships results (medals will be just added in the table "2024-2028 quadriennium World Championships medal count, but will be overwritten in the "Latest World Championships medal count").

 

Tennis and Golf must be treaten as "exceptions" because of course there are no proper World Championships. So the best solution I found is to count the year-end rankings and assign medals according to them. This will happen at the end of each year, because there would be no reasons in counting them only in some years and not in others.

 

There are some other sports with some "exceptions", like for example Triathlon World Championships are based on a series of races contested during the season and not only on the final one, because the "World Champion" title is won by the athlete who wins the series ranking, and it would be weird if we considered a different results. Artistic Swimming also is contested in a very different format at WChs and the Olympics, you can read in this thread how we decided to assign the medals in our table.

 

The general rule is that every single medal event of the following Olympic Games needs to be counted at least once during the Olympic quadriennium, it could be one (Football, Equestrian etc.), two (Athletics, Swimming etc.), three (Badminton, Fencing and all other sports where World Championships are held annually) or even four (Tennis, Golf, Road Cycling which has World Championships after the Olympics even in Olympic years, etc).

 

You can find a complete list of "exceptions" for sports with a different system in each year's medal count page, for example here is the 2025 one. (look for the second table of the page after the calendar).

I have removed the medals from the 2025 WST Rome.

The World Championships have now disappeared from the World Skate Calendar, just 10 days before the competition.  No news at all but here they say cancelled. The only WST Park event was the one in Rome (Ostia), while for Street there is also another one in November in Japan, I have no idea which one it makes more sense to count.
