The only games that “matter” this year are: Winter YOG, Olympics, Paralympics, Gymnasiade, and Asian Beach Games (most storied and original beach games).


Only two events with gymnastics. I understand that the focus is the Olympic Games, but still...

In my dream world, multi-sport events would be staged like this:

1) South American Games, Mediterranean Games, Pacific Mini Games, CAC Games, Winter Youth Olympics 
2) Universiade, SEA Games, World Games, Commonwealth Games, Winter Olympics, Winter Paralympics
3) European Games, Pan-American Games, Asian Games, African Games, Pacific Games, Summer Youth Olympics
4) Universiade, SEA Games, Summer Olympics, Summer Paralympics, Military World Games

That would be an awesome schedule. Unfortunately, it’s just feasible or economically wise to host a multi-sports games in an (Summer) Olympic year. The Asian Beach Games get away with it because the majority of those athletes won’t compete at the Olympics.

 

On the bright side, 2021 is looking like an epic year for multi-sports games.

The ASEAN Para Games have been postponed for a second time due to the Corona Virus outbreak. I have a feeling it's not going to proceed as planned this year.

 

ASEAN Para Games postponed for second time due to coronavirus

It might be for the best to postpone them, since some of the countries have the Corona virus in the top of their minds and the others just trying to avoid it...

It’d just be better to cancel them at this point. The athletes need to focus on Tokyo 2020 now, and Philippines is quite frankly unprepared to host the games.

It’s the best option I this current situation I believe that the athletes will prefer to be healthy and ready for Tokyo then the obvious other option..

Central Asian Games may be back in 2021. Not only would it add another regional Asian Games to schedule, but it would make an already crowded 2021 even more crowded.

I just wanted to come on here and say how proud I am of Lima 2019. Six months after the games ended, and the venues are still operational and being used for both local and international events. Lima 2019 is also using their website as a “hub” for local and Peruvian sport. It’s really great to see a legacy’s for the infrastructure built for the Pan American Games, especially after all the construction and funding woes. I really hope they can keep this up, because it really does appear to have a huge impact on the community there. Plus, it makes the 2019 Pan American Games a further success, and I don’t know who would want to complain about that. :d
