That must be the reason why Nairobi can't get that senior World Champs the entire Africa deserves :wacko:

World Athletics really needs to put 'flawless organization' aside as a (too) important factor. You're just not going to get flawlessly organized events in places like Kenya, because every single year in every single sport we see events all over Africa having all kinds of organizational problems. However, in terms of sports quality and general feel and atmosphere, they're often absolutely amazing. The junior world championships in Nairobi a few years ago showed how badly they should have a senior worlds there, I've never seen a whole stadium party like that all day long, day after day. Best athletics event ever.

Autumn Marathon season is unusually strong this year with Boston & London being postponed from the spring. First major is on Sunday with Berlin as the first in the newly named Elite Platinum series, as the marketeers at World Athletics show worrying signs of running out of superlatives.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
