Wow, can't believe Ed finally did it. After 3rd in 2022 he's stormed back to win the crown. Thanks to everyone who voted, there's that many who did I can't remember who to tag. Big thanks to @Olympian1010 for hosting an incredible anniversary contest and also thanks to @OlympicIRLfor picking a song so personal to me (it was the song my Rugby League team Widnes Vikings used to walk on to when I first started going to watch them). Hopefully if everything goes to plan, Liverpool will host the contest next year. Oh, and sorry I couldn't make it last night. Was too busy watching Doctor Who.

Sorry I forgot about this, didn't see an email pop up and only just realised. If you still need me to do bits I can do.

I don't mind participating again. I'll also have my votes with you in a few hours.

I will have my votes by tomorrow at the latest.

Going by the assumption that Squash has a decent chance of part of the core programme once it gets in, here are my top 3 for : 1. Darts (not on the list) 2. Billiards (there would be some sort of deal to let top snooker and potentially pool players play) 3. Netball If we were to host again, I think the main focus would be to integrate "pub sports". Darts, similar to squash, has a large international appeal and would be one of the top revenue earners at the games. There is a slight lack of depth in the women's game for a 64 player field as well as a trans issue, but when the time comes for us to host again this should hopefully not be too much of a problem. The main problem though is the relationship between the amateur and the professional game, which is at an all time low. But if there's a strong urge for darts to be included, I'm sure the PDC would be able to enter a loose partnership with the WDF.

We should be in good stead for quotas in those sports too. We almost qualified for Softball at Tokyo, losing to Italy in the European final. Are baseball team also recently won silver at the European championships and have competed in the World Series and will be competing in the next one in 2026. In terms of Flag Football, I read somewhere that we have a competitive team and will be one of the favourites for the European quota.
