Still think there is a win in there this season.  

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.

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?

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.

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 

Got Post 2 updated with compiled results.

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.

I do (not) love how in the medal table, though the last 5 nations haven't medalled, they still list them as being in 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 (and not even in alphabetical order).  Sorry !

And the Germans take all 4 gold medals.  The USA nabbed three medals, and  and  each nabbed one bronze.

Consolidated results post updated. 

For the first time in 20 years, John Shuster will not be representing the  in curling.  His team lost the US Olympic Trials last night against Team Casper, made up of younger men who watched Shuster as they grew up.  It was a Best of 3 series, and apparently Team Shuster had a habit of losing Game 1...but this time, after losing Game 1 and winning Game 2, the magic finally wore off.  Hopefully Team Casper will be able to snag one of the two spots remaining at the OQE coming soon!
 
(Had Shuster won the trials, and had the US qualified, then he would be the sole curler to have competed in 6 Olympics..instead, he's tied with one other curler at 5.)

Rugby should not start this early, regardless.  Nobody should be eliminated from medal contention before the opening ceremony, and yet most rugby teams were/will be.

Late changes to the Luge Calendar.  The Igls event has been moved to Winterberg - there has been rebuilding work at Igls and the Luge people were not happy.  Bobsleigh/skeleton OTOH are fine with it.
 
The test event at Cortina in two weeks time has been upgraded to one of the races counting in the Olympic Qualifier series.  
 
Olympic Test Event in Cortina upgraded: First qualifying race for Mila
 
 

It’s also worth noting that times at the SLC track aren’t very indicative, as its altitude and ice conditions make it extremely fast

I just checked the stats, and this is only the second time since January 27, 2024, that Stolz has finished off the podium in the 500m across 19 races
 

First step done: Get it all into one Excel file that you can now filter and sort if desired.  More to come.

John Shuster with a clutch draw on the last rock of the 10th end.  Series against Danny Casper is tied 1-1.  They'll play a 3rd game tomorrow to decide who will represent the United States at the Olympic Qualifying Event next month.

Truls, the Lebruns, Hugo, and many other non-Chinese men would beg to differ! (The women are another story.)

Paula Moltzan  with an impressive second run to boost her from 19th to 4th!  Mikaela was the only one to beat her time in Run 2. Gold for  !  

Today is on Peacock.  Tomorrow and Sunday are on USA

Janja will win two herself!
