I believe the Ski-Snowboard Cross Relay was dropped as well. Curling Mixed Doubles didn’t not receive an increase in entries, but Curling received an increase in quotas. This was done to accommodate the presence of national teams in Mixed Doubles. It looks like we’ll have 16 NOCs in Mixed Team and 24 pairs in Mixed Doubles. Maybe we can see an exotic country break through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a pretty good distribution of countries at Lausanne 2020, so there should be a good chance of that. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Too bad it was replaced by yet another mixed team event, ugh.

Technically, the Mixed Team Event in Cross Country replaces the Mixed Nordic Team Event. I liked Cross Country Cross though, so I’m a little bummed to see it gone. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted March 1, 2021 #918 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Just a small note, but I really like the new FISU pictograms: https://www.fisu.net/sports/all-sports I think it’s part of the new branding they adopted last year, and I have to say, the logo/pictograms/etc. look modern, colorful, and professional. “Sport has the power to change the world.

PHI2019 188 Posted March 22, 2021 #919 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Centro Caribe Sports to award 2022 Central American and Caribbean Games next month Centro Caribe Sports is set to announce the replacement for Panama as the host of the 2022 Central American and Caribbean Games at the end of next month. The organisation's President Luis Mejía Oviedo revealed the timeline following a two-day inspection by its Future Venues Commission of Mayagüez in Puerto Rico, one of the two candidates in the running to stage the Games. El Salvador's capital San Salvador is also bidding to stage the 2022 Games after Panama withdrew as hosts last July due to the financial constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
