Cricket got a boost the rugby team lost the WC final :lol:

 

Polish awards will be announced on January 4th. Stoch & R. Lewandowski are basically locked into Top 3 IMO.

 

naaa...Cricket is still the biggest English sport (after Football)...even if the rugby team had won the RWC, it wouldn't have changed the rankings that much...

Hmm... I know a guy from Newcastle who claims nobody gives a rat's ass about cricket. I'd say rugby is more popular than cricket in the UK :p

really? :yikes:

 

so, you missed one of last summer's main events in the world of sports...:redcard::spank:

 

In the Commonwealth world of sports and a handful of diehard fans outside of it, I suppose :p  I'm sure in most nations in the world it wouldn't even make an annual 'International sports highlights of 2019' video if they had it.

maybe you're right, but except for Football and Athletics, we can say the same for almost every other sport...:evil:

 

look at rugby...it's only about France, Argentina and the Commonwealth Nations...but still, the RWC is considered one of the biggest sports events in the world...

 

the same goes for Handball, for instance...who gives it a crap outside north/central/eastern Europe?

 

and I could go on for the rest of the day...

me too...

 

and frankly I only agree at 100% on the "team of the year" and the "most improved athlete of the year" result...

 

but as we don't have an official sports award, this is still one of the most reliable among all those we can see all around in these days...

 

p.s. of course I also like the special mention for Sinisa Mihajlovic and I wish him and his family all the best (as I know exactly what kind of drama they're going through and I'm particularly sensitive on that issue), but this has not much to do with sports (except for Sinisa being a famous former player and now a successful coach)...;)

Woman of the Year: Dorothea Wierer (Biathlon)

 

Team of the Year: "Settebello" (Men's Waterpolo National Team)

I'd even put  ' Football ' and 'Athletics ' in inverted commas. All countries have their own sport preferences.

In fact each state of India has a different view for all sports. If you say that England won the cricket world cup, people won't even like care in states like manipur ( football, wushu, karate, judo, even weightlifting is more popular than cricket)  and so many north east sides(Arunchal Pradesh, Sikkim just like Bhutan)  that the media will only report it as a normal news and then you go to Andaman and Nicobar Islands you would be asked what is cricket unless you went to mainland as cycling and canoeing are way tooo popular. Athletics isnt considered a sport in many states but entering Kerala it's pretty common to be an sprinter or jumper. Then there are states like Gujarat and all where football is known to very small rural population. My friend's once laughed when I watching some squash but in Tamil Nadu you'll find them keen to learn as its pretty popular. Carolina Marin, Tai Tzu Ying are all very famous in Telangana just because the state follows badminton very much. Even in my state if I say Mohmad Ahsan or Wang Yilu they surely differentiate their events easily if not all at least a sizeable number. Not to forget the wrestling craze of UP and especially Haryana where thousands flock to watch the bouts .

 

So what happens is media reports important news only when it's famous or popular  so there's regional prefernces  across the world.

      Curling will have 14 participating nations, with the men's and mixed doubles events have a group stage (surely a first for an international MSE event? @Olympian1010?)   Mixed doubles   Group A:   I believe this is Turkmenistan's (and possibly Thailand and Kuwait) international curling debut.   Group B:   Women's:   Men's:   Group A:   Group B:

      We've been told that during the past 3 tournaments as well. There won't be many opportunities left. While I obviously believe they can do something big this year, it will be crucial not to screw up the quarterfinal game from the very beginning.

      Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.

      Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.

      Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).
