Summer Non-Olympic Sports Discussion Thread

In case anyone is confused by the situation, Draughts is a WADA signatory (I believe), and that’s why the Russian flag had to be removed and name tag changed.

Not that many people might be interested, but the Aerobic Gymnastics World Championships have concluded.

:TUR and :AZE won their first-ever medals! Historic gold medals for both nations. :UKR won a silver medal, their best result in the history of the world championships.

:BRA won a medal after 11 years. Finally!

just saw the opening night of the new Cricket tournament, The Hundred...

 

it was quite a nice show (the girls can play very good and entertaining cricket, I must say)...I like the new 100-ball format and the new on-screen graphics concept...

 

I think it might be a good think to catch some new spectators also in the non traditional Countries...

 

now we only need an international board that actually wants to try to develop the Game outside the usual places...:whistle:

SkiMo World Cup begins tomorrow. From what I can gather, there should be some livestreaming at this link: https://tv.ismf-ski.org

tbh, not a good couple of days for Italy, at least in the senior events...

in particular, the discipline's superstar Robert Antonioli was only 4th in the Sprint Race and 9th in the Vertical Race...:nopompom:

hopefully, we'll be better on Sunday...

to save the day, the U-23 & U-20 races, where Italy got a lot of medals (also a couple of Golds)...

14th Annual British Wife-Carrying Championships held today. Congratulations to winner Alex Bone, who wins first prize - a barrel of ale, which I hope he won’t be sharing with the missus.

 

Has qualified for the Big One - the World Championships held annually in the historic home of wife-carrying, :FIN.

Speedway Grand Prix starts tomorrow in Croatia.  It’ll be a bit of a sad occasion - long-time international feed commentator Nigel Pearson died suddenly just a couple of week ago.  Think TV coverage is now Eurosport Europe-wide, maybe some exceptions. Calendar is pretty much back to normal for the first time post COVID - except for a cancelled trip to :RUS, don’t know if they’ve scheduled a make-up race.
