I just sucks for me that the stuff I care about just won’t comeback soon. I just find it hard to be interested in every sport outside the major events. There’s a few sports like climbing, biathlon, short track, canoe where I’ll generally try to follow most of the season, but besides that, there’s just not much I’m interested in. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Out of curiousity: how do you actually follow those multi-sports events in terms of having a clue about which athletes are good, what to expect in competitions and so on? Plenty of sports one can't realistically follow at a multi-sports event while having a clue of who the actual favourites are without following the regular seasons It's a little like people entering the prediction pools we've got thousands and thousands of during the Tour de France, without watching any other cycling race in the year, so they base their predictions based off of Wikipedia and are easy to beat If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Plenty of sports one can't realistically follow at a multi-sports event while having a clue of who the actual favourites are without following the regular seasons I do a lot of research, read the sport preview articles that are given to the media for most events, and watch some old events in the days leading up to the games. heywoodu 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Fly_like_a_don 866 Posted April 1, 2020 #636 Share Posted April 1, 2020 What are remaining big events this year? I guess it's no multi sport event but then I can't see many big events this year individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last hope is the 2020 Asian Beach Games. Those are scheduled to be held in November, so not impossible... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Even if China does well then also not sure if athletes will want to travel like just imagine their mind - I'm going to China, wait what no I'm scared..
