Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold. Didn't think we were much of a contender here. Home soil luck?

Finally got around to updating post 2 with results from last weekend...that's a lot of German and Austrian flags!

Hats off to Norway on a great competition, but happy for our women. (It is a little sad knowing that our win means Norway doesn't make it, as I know they've worked hard and wanted it it bad as well...but thus is sport!)

Whew! That last rock had my heart beating! 8-4 going into End 10 Their strategy for End 10: "Hit a rock if you see a rock"

Three straight steals!

steals another point!

For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event. (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.) Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.

Come on ! You've beaten once, now do it again! We'll see! Congrats to !

Confirmation that the winner of FIH Pro League 25/26 will receive a quota.

https://usfigureskating.org/sports/2025/11/3/2026-prevagen-us-figure-skating-championships.aspx Beginning of January...we'll see who our team is (though our top contenders are essentially known)

I do think the slogan of 'We get the World Climbing' that WC established is a nice play on words at least. (And now that I've typed WC, now we might have to decide whether that's climbing, curling, cycling...)

Not really related to IOC, but the sports federations. In the past day, both FIG and IFSC have rebranded. I now present to you World Gymnastics and World Climbing. I wonder how long until all the sports have rebranded like this. (Hopefully Fencing and Equestrian will be soon so that I can stop trying to remember if it's FEI or FIE.)

vs. to see who can play in. If wins and loses to , then will be in 2nd place due to tie breaker (we beat Norway). C'mon ladies!

And the Americans take 3 gold medals in the GP Finals, with Japan taking the fourth. The Japanese ladies just took a couple of stumbles, allowing Alysa Liu to snag gold for the ladies. Japan ends up on top for the season overall. Check out Post 2 for complete medal tables from the season...see you all in Milano!

And Malinin bounced back. He earned a WR 238.24 in the FP...and of note that in this Grand Prix Finals event, the 6th place competitor earned 242.19 combined (not even 4 points higher). Dang.

Cu-rocco

Malinin opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!). Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program. (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

Was hoping our Kiwi-turned-Eagle Campbell Wright would have placed higher than 27th, but we'll see how he continues to perform.

And here we have another example of a league going autumn to spring.

Yes, thank you for the equestrian nod. Looks like dressage likewise runs autumn-spring. (But eventing runs spring-autumn.)

ITTF Mixed Team World Cup happening now... Final 8 (these represent half of the teams who entered, and they are now in a Round Robin): Of these and after playing two teams in this round, , , , and haven't lost a match, and the other four haven't won. We'll see how the next couple of days play out! has only lost one game in total. More details here: https://xtresults.ittf.com/teamseventInfo?selectedTab=Stages 1-2 (Groups)&eventId=3263

Thank you. Yes, sorry, my original list could have been clearer (fixing it now). That list was a list of sports I already knew had a season that straddled two years. I was wondering if there were others that I hadn't listed.

This question isn't directly related to qualifying for LA28, but is mostly to help me wrap my mind around each sport federation's calendar. I think all Winter Sports straddle two different years (i.e. seasons start in 2025 and finish in 2026). Most Summer Sports have their annual season in one calendar year (like Sport Climbing has its annual World Cup that starts around April and finishes around October of each year). But some sports are different. Squash has its start of each season in around August and it finishes the next calendar year. Are there other Summer sports like Squash that have their season with a similar calendar, straddling two different years? Sports that I'm already aware of that do this Squash Softball Rugby Sevens Fencing Others?

Haven't kept this up to date...but looks like the Men didn't do well enough to field a team for the Relay in Milano. But Andrew Heo did score our one and only gold in Dordrecht in the 500m!

To those who know more about CC Skiing: Back in Post 2, I'm only compiling results from disciplines that will be in the Olympics (to preview perhaps the podiums there). However, I note that for each event, there are 'classic' and 'freestyle'. This past weekend in Ruka, they skiied the 10km interval start Classic; however, in Milano Cortina, it will be the 10km interval start Free. Would there be a benefit to tracking the disciplines that won't be contested? (i.e. Do different skiiers excel in one vs. the other?) Also, of note, only once will the 50km skiathlon be contested before MiCo.
