Ha! I have already secured my olympic vacation at work for the entire 2026 Olympics ! So i’m ready ! Come on athletes, entertain us ! 

Also at the request of nobody, here's the schedule for Milano Cortina 2026 in Excel format.  Bold indicates medals.
 
Ways to use this to your advantage:
1) Sort data by Date then Time to see all events in order chronologically.
2) Sort data by Sport then Date then Time to see all events in order by Sport chronologically.
3) Filter by Sport to see only that sport (or choose more than one).  (Can be useful if you only care to pay attention to a few.)  You can then filter by event if necessary (i.e. Women's 500m).  It can be useful to see the progression of certain events.  (One downfall is that you can't filter by Men's, as 'Women's' contains the same characters.)
4) Filter by medal events by searching (GM) or (BM).
 
Note that on this site, there is a great Calendar by Sport and Date, so there's nothing here that isn't already on the site; however, for those who want to deal with all the events at once, filtering as you'd like, this Excel lets you do that.
 
(I just did the LA28 version over in the other discussion thread.)

hot, yes...but LA is by the Ocean, it's not that humid like the Far East
and generally, late July is better than August/early September
for instance, this is 2025 weather forecast in LA during the Olympic period

Men's / women's / mixed doubles, then men's / women's singles, then the mixed team event.

I guess - first M, W and Mixed doubles finals
Then M and W singles
And then Mixed Team event

I will enjoy it with totally open window at evening/night :-) 

And please return classic high jump/pole vault without counting of total 4 mistakes in competition!

I really love the fact that all this nation can have their spotlight here, even the smaller one

And please return classic high jump/pole vault without counting of total 4 mistakes in competition!

Pastrňák confirmed that he will play in WCH 2025

Pastrňák is not confirmed, he Is allowed from Boston, but he will finally decide on Monday.

O read somewhere that it should be from ranking

16 women's teams, because 12 is a shitty number for a tournament - both because the forced continental representation will lead to it being a relatively weak tournament and because you can not make a decent tournament with 12 teams, you'll be forced to have the super awful 'best third placed teams' nonsense.
 
0 men's teams
 
Instead of a total of 28, we go to a total of 16 teams. We gain 12 x whatever number of players are in a men's team for sports where the Olympics are important, we have a women's tournament with a decent format and we get rid of having junior championships at the Olympics, win-win-win  

2031 and 2035 are both good picks to host.
 
Expanding the women's (or men's for that matter) world cup to 48 teams is... bleh. The 32 team format is / was so good

Even without the controversy surrounding the Chinese team, it’s nice to see  qualify after so many close misses. 
 
@stepansevs congrats!
