There will be two new competition series in FIS Ladies Ski Jumping World Cup, Raw Air Tour in Norway and Bluebird Tour in Russia. http://www.fis-ski.com/ski-jumping/news-multimedia/news/article=two-new-competition-series-for-the-ladies.html

"The Latvian government has also commissioned a survey on the scale and type of renovations required should Stockholm win the 2026 bid". https://www.thelocal.se/20180613/latvia-to-help-sweden-with-2026-winter-olympic-bid

Well they are going to host a World Cup event this year. http://www.ibsf.org/en/news/20560-bmw-ibsf-bob-skeleton-world-cup-2018-2019-kicks-off-in-sigulda-for-the-first-time http://www.ibsf.org/en/races-results?sport_bob=1&session=WC&page_number=1

I just think it is a mistake in the text. I think it should be ski jumping instead. By the way, the presentation is designed by the IOC, so...

According to a presse release from the council of Stockholm, the competitions in ski-jumping and Nordic combined is being held in Falun, while Hamra are proposed for cross-country skiing and biathlon.

Calgary, Stockholm and a joint bid from Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo have been officially confirmed as the three candidates for the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, by the IOC today. The proposal for Stockholm looks like this: Interesting that Sigulda is going to host the bobsleigh, skeleton and luge events.

U-23 World Cup gives points to the world ranking, which gives the top 12 nations a place at the Premier12 next year. The World Ranking system is really something special: https://www.insidethegames.biz/media/file/38545/BASEBALL-WORLD-RANKING-POINTS-METHODOLOGY.pdf Even the under-12 World Cup counts towards the ranking. So you must hope your country have some good baseball players at the age of 10-11

Promotional video for the upcoming U-23 World Cup in Colombia: Twelve countries will compete at the Championships, from October 19th to 28th. Japan, Chinese Taipei, Mexico, The Netherlands, hosts Colombia and South Africa will play in Group A. Group B will consist of South Korea, Australia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Dominican Republic and Czech Republic. This event is the last opportunity to qualify a senior team for next year's Premier12, which offers 2 places at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

According to Lydia Nsekera, a member of the FIFA Council, and candidate for the Presidency of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA), believes that this event will be continent-wide and other nations will "chip in" to help Senegal.

Of course this song played in the background when Dakar was announced as the host

After over an hour of chit-chat, Dakar has now officially been confirmed as host of the 2022 Youth Olympics. (Not really a surprise, as they were the only candidate) https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1070831/senegal-officially-awarded-2022-youth-olympic-games-at-ioc-session Senegal's President, Macky Sall, says the country are set to construct a 50,000 capacity Olympic Stadium, as well as renovating another stadium. My reaction to this idea:

This is maybe a small detail, but why are the break dancers categorised as boys and girls while everybody else is categorised as men or women on the result page? (This is especially weird considering some of the boys and girls are older than some of the "men" and "women" )

Triathlon - Girls Gold: Amber Schlebusch 58:45 Silver: Sif Bendix Madsen 58:56 Bronze: Anja Weber 59:36 So close for Sif ...

Bayern could always go back to Jupp Heynckes to save them

Pretty impressive time for Santos. Atkinson is just amazing on short course

Biathlon: Teja Gregorin receives two-year ban. All competitive results from 7th February 2010 to 6th February 2012 have been disqualified. http://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-anti-doping-hearing-panel-gregorin-found-guilty-of-anti-doping-rule-violatio (Gregorin has stopped her career.)

But he's not really a calm and collected person, according to many news stories about him. A headline, such as this; "Rory Sabbatini Takes His Rightful Place as the PGA Tour's Jerk", doesn't scream mr. nice guy https://bleacherreport.com/articles/691515-rory-sabbatini-takes-his-rightful-place-at-the-pga-tours-jerk (The whole article is personal opinions, but still, he doesn't sound like a person you want to be friends with)

Denmark has announced their flag bearer. It will be golf player, Nicolai Højgaard. Højgaard is world champion for junior teams. He also won individual silver at the Junior World Championship. This year he won the European Championship for Amateurs.
