Olympian1010 7,479 Posted April 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2019 There is varying international participation. Weightlifting seems to have a few competitors of note. Squash may also have a few elite competitors. The big draw will be muaythai, though, since these games are the first international qualification event for the 2021 World Games. So far I have found livestreams for weightlifting and sailing. I will make a playlist available soon. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Also there's no continental championship for Oceania during the first period and since most nations skipped the World Championships this was likely going to be the event most of those nations would attend, assuming they wanted to compete in weightlifting at the Olympics.

Ah, ok I see. So the “big” events here will be the weightlifting, muaythai, maybe 3x3 it’s through FIBA so maybe there’s some ranking points on the line; There might be some minor talent on show in Squash, Sailing, or any of the other racquet sports. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,479 Posted April 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2019 @KingOfTheRhinos Are any of the Australian sports channels broadcasting these games? I didn’t see any when I looked, but I always enjoy watching any international multi-sport events. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
