Have the NRL gotten over their drama yet? I saw that Queensland gave one of the players and exemption, but what about the other two?

NASCAR is back this weekend, starting on Sunday :cheer: Four races in less than two weeks, awesome.

 

IndyCar is back on 6 June at the Texas Motor Speedway.

Well, our athletics have started forming a calendar, so the Lithuanian Championships as well as U20, U18 and Baltic Championships + Baltic U20/U18 are all scheduled to take place in July and August.

There's a cycling calendar as well from 1 August on, but of course that's not as definitive as UCI tries to make us believe. 

 

Cycling does however restart on Tuesday, with the HTV Cup in, yeah, Vietnam :d And it's not just something, it's an 18-stage race, basically a Grand Tour with mostly Vietnamese riders :d

To start:

 

Hungary's premier athletics meet, the Gyulai Istvan Memorial, is now scheduled for 20 August (instead of 6 July)

 

Football (not that I missed it so much, I mean the Hungarian version thereof :D :D) is returning with the Hungarian Cup semi-finals from 23 May and 1st league restart from 29/30 May

Don't know about that event in particular, what is certain that outdoor events with more than 500 (?) people are banned until 15 August.

Probably the athletic event was rescheduled in the hope that it might have a limited number of fans at that time or it might have more international competitors in August than in July.

A tennis cup will be held next week in Budapest but only with Hungarian players (6 male 6 female) and no spectators.

I assume the GYI memorial organizers do want to avoid (if possible) it being a Hungarian-only event.

The original schedule was perfect for me - with the GYI just two days after the end of modern pentathlon EB also at Bregyó. Now the pentathlon is scheduled in a way it collides with junior worlds in Poland where I will be probably commentating (and surely reporting for Totallympics Media), so I'm afraid I will miss the Europeans and this Gyulai-verseny is my best option to go to Hungary this year, but just two days earlier there is an athletics meeting in my home town, Poznań and I think some athletes from there will go straight to Fehérvár (like Nowicki and Fiodorow did last year). And GYI is the Continental Tour while Poznań GP is just a rising event (first edition last year) as  the stadium is being renewed.
