Oops! This thread accidentally has the Road to Milano Cortina blue bubble next to the title.

I wish World Archery had better free coverage....they hardly put things on YouTube, even highlights. Looking at their YT channel, you'd hardly know there was a WCH happening. There are a few short clips of the winning moments on Facebook, but that's about it.

Curious if any non-Americans follow US college (American) football. In the state where I live (South Carolina), there are no pro sports (closest is Atlanta, GA, which has football, baseball, and basketball, and Charlotte, NC has basketball), but most everyone has their favorite college team. I don't think it's a stretch to say that college football is more popular than pro football. (My user name here has the name of the university I attended--Clemson.)

And just like that, our Lead World Cup season finishes, and get the Gold with Janja climbing much higher than the others (47+ vs. 38+ and below). IFSC World Cup (Lead) - 04-06 Sept 2025 - Koper, SLO Men Gold - Sorato Anraku Silver - Alberto Ginés López Bronze - Toby Roberts Women Gold - Janja Garnbret Silver - Seo Chaehyun Bronze - Laura Rogora And with this, Boulder and Lead individual seasons are finished. One final Speed comp next week, then WCH after that! World Cup Final Rankings - Boulder Men Gold - Sorato Anraku Silver - Mejdi Schalk Bronze- Sohta Amagasa Women Gold - Oriane Bertone Silver - Mao Nakamaura Bronze - Annie Sanders World Cup Final Rankings - Lead Men Gold - Alberto Ginés López Silver - Sorato Anraku Bronze - Satone Yoshida Women Gold - Erin McNeice Silver - Seo Chaehyun Bronze - Laura Rogora (Alberto has yet to win a Gold Medal at World Cup comps, yet his consistency has him atop the World Cup final rankings. Congrats!) (Oh, and he does have the Gold from Tokyo 2020.) (And despite only competing twice in Lead, Janja ends up 7th in the Lead World Cup Rankings. That's what happens when you're a beast.) Congrats to all the athletes!

Agreed. Perhaps a solution, if a solution is desired, would be to have a Pinned Post in each sport's forum with the upcoming year's calendar. That way, those with specific interest in specific sports can find discussion, calendar, etc. all together in the Forum.

Sadly, in the US they only aired the first Semi, not the second. (I don't pay to watch online.). But they will (supposedly) be airing the finals...hoping for a good game! (They didn't even show all the VNL games with the US playing...who knows why?)

I felt similarly when watching Sport Climbing at the World Games...just wasn't the same with a different commentator.

One feature I would like to see is a way to filter the Events Calendar. The sports calendar is great to browse things that are coming up; however, it is difficult to filter only a certain sport. I recognize that you can use the Search feature in Events to find a sport; however, the search results are not in chronological order...in fact, I can't discern how the events are displayed (as it's also not based on when the event was posted). Might there be a way to browse events by discipline chronologically (past and/or future)? Perhaps I haven't discovered the feature yet. Thanks again to all the admins for this great site!

Question, as I (a newbie here) learn about how this site operates: I see that there are over 300 disciplines tracked on the WCH tracker. Most of them are due to the 2025 WCHs, but I see that some (tennis, golf, e.g.) are based on world rankings at the end of the year. The tracker, though, doesn't have all of the events. The one I notice is Equestrian, and there are probably others. I think they have WCH in 2026, but in 2025, could there be a way to indicate a 'podium' for the events for the year? (There are events like the Nations Cup, and there are individual rankings, etc.) But perhaps the goal isn't to have all events covered. Many (probably most) sports don't have WCH each year, and perhaps the tracker is just for the WCHs contested that year (with a few exceptions).

To Niger's credit, they got awarded a 3-0 victory last June when Rep. of Congo refused to travel to DRC for the game (as their stadium in Brazzaville apparently wasn't up to standard, so they moved it to Kinshasa across the river). The stadium in Brazzaville must have gotten upgraded, as the Congo/Tanzania game was played there yesterday. Congo also was suspended in March due to interference in their federation, so Tanzania and Zambia were each awarded a 3-0 win. (Congo will have only actually played 5 games, assuming they play both next month.) And then of course this is also the group with Eritrea withdrawing...all sorts of drama here!

Looks like Niger didn't host any games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_–_CAF_Group_E

Slovenian women showing out at Koper! 4 out of 8 of the women's finalists from ! Janja in the top spot, of course. Adam Ondra is here and made the finals in 8th position. And a relative newcomer, Putra Tri Ramadani is in the finals. And no surprise that has three men, including Soratu Anraku in top spot. Finals tomorrow!

I also just saw this event... https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/news/ifsc-nations-grand-finale-2025-to-bring-team-climbing-action-to-fukuoka Invite only 'Grand Finale' in Japan in October for Boulder and Lead. Two men and two women each from Japan, France, Slovenia, Austria, USA, and Great Britain. Interesting! Perhaps another comp to compensate for speed at the WG?

Last Lead WC of the year! that it's the last, but that it's almost here! But also looking forward to next week's final Speed comp and then the WCH soon after. (This is my first year following the sport since the beginning...has been fun! Almost time for ice climbing!)

I couldn't watch the whole game, but I'm glad USA was able to fight hard to come back in the 2nd set after getting run over in Set 1. Congrats, !

AI Image Generator to the rescue.

Ha. Thanks for the note. For days I've been trying to think of what I would want, but have had no bright ideas, so I've just left it boring for now.

Here's the US's line-up with a brief bio powered by AI. (Caveat: I don't follow Boxing. I was surprised to see that the US only earned 1 bronze in Paris.)

Venus and Leylah ! Quarterfinal bound. (The crowd was definitely on their side!) (Side note...Venus is double Leylah's age.)

And here it is! Accurate to nearest 5 minutes. la28scheddetailed.xlsx

And - 90-85 in the Bronze Medal bout. Congrats, !

No worries at all about the tip. It's a feature that I'm not 100% happy with myself...but I just thought of a way to fix it. Later today I should be able to get it.

Note to all that I just updated the download above. I decided I liked the ability to filter by medal events in my LA28 Excel, so I added it to Milano. Feel free to re-download. You now have the capability to filter in the Event by (GM) or (BM) if you want to just see sessions with medals.
