You've got to love the British media - they only care about curling for 2 weeks every four years and pretend they know what they are talking about only to come out with lines like "Oh, I didn't realise you could be a full-time curler".

A poorly planned itinerary meant that I ended up with a 9-hour layover in Dubai and as I didn't need all that time to pick up the duty free, I have mapped out the year ahead across most of the summer sports. 
 
There's still a couple of sports which don't seem to have published their full calendar, so expect that there will be some updates in the next few weeks.

Both of the El-Shorbagy brothers compete under  flag so would be eligible to compete for  at the Olympics if they qualify. The same thing happens in badminton where the athletes compete under the home nation flags but earn the qualifying spots for 

I think some of the FEI World Cups straddle 2 years. The 2025/26 Show Jumping World Cup final will be taking place in April next year in Fort Worth 

Not quite in the same league as some of the posts on this thread but Valegro - Charlotte Dujardin's double Olympic gold medal winning horse  - has been put down.

Pretty pointless to say that they're going to be covering 'selected games' without actually telling us which games they're going to show.

Women get their 2027 EuroBasket qualifying campaign underway with 3 matches coming up in the next week or so.
 
On Wednesday, they will face  in Manchester before travelling to Vienna next Saturday to face  and then Bergen on the following Tuesday to take on .
 
EuroBasket 2027 will be key qualifying route for LA Olympics and whilst they shouldn't have any great difficulty getting through to the second qualifying round - GB are the top seed in their group and only need to finish in the top 2 to progress - hopefully they are able to put in stronger performances than they did in last year's tournament. 

Just back from the 1st day of Prudential Open in Hong Kong - the hottest ticket of the day was to see  Alexandra Eala in the doubles.
 
This was scheduled on court 1 - which can only hold a couple of hundred spectators - so those who couldn't get a seat took over the top couple of rows in the east stand of centre court to watch over the wall. Led to some ill timed applause.
 
Will be interesting to see how she gets on when she takes on  Katie Boulter. Last year, Boulter had the majority of the crowd on her side for the final against Diana Shnaider but I don't think that will be the case tomorrow.
