After the European Indoor Championships, no more statistics handbook for the World Indoors too. Sad day for athletics fans.

Klaebo 6 for 6 at the World Championships!

No more physical Statistics Handbook starting this edition of the European Indoor Championships. They’re replacing it with a digital service which, by the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, will charge an annual fee to users.

He placed sixth in the marathon at his home Olympics in 1976.

Philippines wins over South Korea 5-3 in men’s curling. Never thought I’d see the Philippines win a medal at the Asian Winter Games. And a gold medal too!

Results system works fine for me.

Before the list came out, I had a feeling they’d include the mixed 4 x 400 but I didn’t think they’d drop the men and women’s 4 x 400.

The initial list of medal events came out today. Both 4 x 400 meters relays for men and women have been dropped in favour of a mixed 4 x 400 relay. i posted the list earlier today.

Glasgow 2026 Medal Event Programme (subject to change) In athletics, the mile replaces the 1,500 meters and the men and women’s 4 x 400 meters are replaced with a mixed 4 x 400 meters relay. No weight classes in boxing yet. Only singles and pairs events in lawn bowls. There are 18 events in cycling due to the introduction of the men and women’s elimination race. Men’s 800 freestyle and women’s 1,500 freestyle added to the swimming program. https://resources.cwg-qbr.pulselive.com/qbr-commonwealth-games/document/2025/02/06/1ab48b7c-7183-4911-be70-218348486a1e/Glasgow2026_Medal-Event-Programme.pdf

You mean the 2028 Games.

Apologies if this isn’t the right place for this article Several victims of Washington DC plane crash were US Figure Skating Championship contestants https://ca.news.yahoo.com/several-victims-washington-dc-plane-073305866.html

The Games are in China so I think the North Koreans will be taking part.

Figure skater Aleksandr Korovin recently took his oath as a naturalised citizen of the Philippines. He will compete with Isabella Gamez in the pairs event at the upcoming Asian Winter Games.

That’s good news. There’s been no mention of the team in the local papers at all. If they go, I think they’ll be the first Philippine athletes to represent the country in a team event at the World Games.

Three pages for everything else is better than what we have here in the Philippines. The newspaper I subscribe to usually has just one page for sports and it’s got nothing worthwhile to read.
