They really should have left something for the continents to have... Nah, only in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, then we go back to normal Personally I quite like it, more world championships and less of the continental championships that often feel a bit depleted anyway.

I can barely remember that anyway even if I've watched every single final live, nothing changes for me there The previous Olympics are a little over two years ago and with most events - even though I've seen them - I'm gonna need Wikipedia to know who won.

The Worlds really meant something when it was every four years, and in the era of Olympic boycotts. Now....well I guess it keeps lots of the smaller federations afloat with TV money.
