I bought a few tickets for handball and basketbal in Lille. Only tickets available for non-Paris venues. In the first en second fase the tickets for other sports were also available but only the ridiculous expensive ones. 
 

It is not going to be cheap to watch athletics, swimming or artistic gymnastics…..

But 20 years ago I visited Athens and then prices for tickets on sessions with finals were up to € 150. My ticket for the opening ceremony was € 799. So, it was never ‘cheap’. But now my whole family wants to join me 😁

Egypt participated with 7 athletes all of them won gold medals 

Perfect score!

The Chinese websites for multi events are terrible! Also the site for the Asian Games feels very outdated….

Results system is available: https://eyof-maribor.com/en/schedule-and-results/

 

It’s the same one used for the 2019 African Games and 2023 GSSE, which doesn’t instill me with a lot of confidence. I think this is the lower end/basic model offered by Atos, at least that’s my assumption given how it’s been used in the past. 

At least it is a ‘working’ results system. They only forget to publish pdf-results or a complete resultbook. GSSE 2023 worked well during the event, but no results can be downloaded.

One should think that the results are part of the legacy of the Games at last years this information seems to getting worse or challeging to find (for example: South East Asian Games 2023, Pan American Junior Games 20121, ALBA Games 2023)

Victoria had a perfectly fine swimming venue that already hosted swimming in 2006 and also the world short course swimming champs in December but the government refused to use any venues in Melbourne. 

I really do not understand why many proposals are based on new venues or venues which need major upgrade. Only to meet the demands of the international federations?

When was the last time we did see full stands at a major competition? London 2012? After that many events seemed to be held in venues too big for the interested public. It was a shame looking at the stream of the European Games in 2023. Athletics held in a 50.000-venue with hardly any spectators.

Lot of venues build for big events seem te be unused or do not need the capacity after the Games: Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, Rio 2016, World Cup soccer in South Africa and Qatar……

In order to ‘survive’ a critical review of the way forward seems te be helpfull…..

Anyone an idea what kind of event this was: The Virtus Oceania Asia Games 2022 (OA Games 2022)

Must be incomplete, since no athletes from the home country are mentioned.....

I have results of athletics, swimming, boxing and wrestling in PDF format

Could you zend them to me? I am very interested.

I am still looking for results of the SEAG 2023. The website is still active, but only for the para-event. Anyone some advice?

What was the reason of the re-schedule? Venues not finished? Or due to Covid-postponements of other events re-scheduled?

Anyone knows what the restrictions are to participate as an island. Gozo is participating for the time and Rhodes did not since several editions?

For example: why Menorca and not Mallorca and/or Ibiza?

Any island welcome? Seems not, because the number of islands participating has been steady since years.

Any news/website to be found about 2023 Indian Ocean Island Games?

Anyone an update regarding results, since the website seems to be very (very) incomplete.....

Already found the website with all athleticsresults: Ergebnisübersicht - SELTEC Sports LA-Portal (laportal.net)

does not compete anymore.

 

Wouldn't India be considered a bigger fail? 28 medals all time for the second most populous nation is pretty embarrassing imo.

Why isn’t Afghanistan competing anymore?

Honestly how the Olympics should be...Get rid of the crazy IOC demands and give us Underwater Hockey 

Vovinam.....?

Arnis....?

kurash....?

Obstacle racing....?

So many martial arts sports will be contested: I think they will run out of white uniforms....

56 sports? That is quite a programme....

i don't agree with this rule of 3 Gold in weightlifting , wins 6-12 Gold each day

 

so sending 1 weightlifter better than teams of football volley basket combined ( 40 players )

Seems to me you are quite negative in your opinions about these Games. I hope that Oran 2021 will be better.

Besides this: I think Algeria performs up to standard....some suprises and some dissapointments.

That's disappointing  Just let Senegal or Mali or some other country sort of south of the Saraha but north of South Africa host it and you won't have a high enough number for the atmosphere (ok, not a significantly higher score for information and overall organization, but still, I prefer atmosphere  )

Still: Morocco stepped in as an alternative for several other countries. Even after Morocco did not participate in recent African Games. Better something than nothing? Many other multi sport events haven't been held in recent years: West Asian Games, Arab Games, East Asian Games etc.

What African countries could stage these Games in the near future?

South Africa (they sent a relative small group of athletes because of financial issues)

Algeria (facilities are being built for the MedGames in Oran)

Nigeria

Ghana (really?)

Egypt

Tunesia

Senegal (build a huge basketball arena) & Mali (are you serious?)

Equatorial Guinea (former selected host, but no history in sports), must have been a joke....

Congo (to soon again)

Kenya

Some possibilities, but I think these Games are in serious doubt....like European Games, Universiad and (too) many other Games.

Let me remind you that Rabat was selected as a replacement host in July of 2018.

Good point! Otherwise no African games at all probably.....

Anybody knows why South Africa sends a very small team? Financial issues or other reasons.....?

At least judo started and is finished....all the other sports seems to have postponements or re-scheduling. No information about participants from sports still to begin.....getting worrying

Several football matches were delayed. Anyone knows the reasons? 

Sofia, Bulgaria!

Ezurum? Turkey?
