100 days to go until the first multi-sports games of the 2025 

Happy new year!!!

HELLO, from 2024. How’s the future Totallympics? I still have a few more minutes in 2024, so I’ll post my annual “final post of the year.” It won’t be too long this year, but I couldn’t let the tradition die 
 
For me, this year is best described as a “roller coaster.” I entered the year injured, unemployed and anxious, but left healthy (at least relatively), employed and partying with family and friends.
 
I’m thankful for how it went because I know there are those much less fortunate than me.
 
There are too many highlights, with too little time,  for me to cover my favorite moments from the year, but amongst the coolest things in life was working alongside a few other Totallympics members for the second time in my life. It was an extraordinary summer full of sports, emotional highs and fraternity.
 
You guys have always made me fell welcomed, even at my most annoying points in life, and I remain thankful to have found this community. I wish everyone good health, stability and positive professional developments in 2025. Here’s to another year!!!

Zero snow & rain over here. But I enjoyed the eating part

It's been raining for 2 days now here, but I want the snow already ❄️ 

The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.
 
Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 

with quotas in snooker
 with quotas in wushu
 with quotas in powerlifting.
 
Another countries in the games 

With the 2024 Bolivarian Games done and dusted, I thought it'd be a good time to look at next year's slate of international multi-sport games. Here's what I have written down on my personal schedule:
 
January 13 January 23 Winter University Games February 6 February 17 Invictus Games February 7 February 14 Asian Winter Games February 9 February 16 Winter EYOF March 23 March 30 CISM Winter World Games May 17 May 30 World Masters Games May 26 May 31 Games of Small States of Europe June 27 July 6 World Police and Fire Games June 29 July 9 Pacific Mini Games July 12 July 18 Island Games July 16 July 27 Summer University Games July 20 July 26 Summer EYOF August 7 August 17 The World Games August 9 August 23 Junior Pan American Games October 18 October 30 Central American Games November 15 November 26 Summer Deaflympics December 9 December 20 SEA Games TBC TBC Islamic Solidarity Games TBC TBC Asian Youth Games  
I'm not sure about the status of the Caribbean Games and Central American and Caribbean Beach Games, so those might eventually find a spot on the calendar as well (I just haven't seen anything confirmed yet.)

It's also on the Olympics YouTube channel.

Probably my personal runner-up, but there’s no doubt that ceremony had a lot of influence over the multi-sports games opening ceremonies that followed.

Athens 2004

Finally, another elusive Rio 2016 opening ceremony fan 
 
I think many people like the ceremony, but I rarely see it as a #1 on people's lists (where it is on mine).

the junior panam were delayed to August 9-23

Interesting day in Muaythai...
 
 were the only NOCs to send female athletes in the sport. However, they split the medals evenly, with both NOCs winning two golds.
