Olympian1010 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 On 6/24/2019 at 3:43 AM, yoshi said: I assume it’s to do with Olympic qualifying as a reason for these events, but it’s always struck me as odd that there’s almost no major quadrennial sports events held in the first year of the Olympic cycle. The European Games (in any form) would own 2021, 25, 29 etc if they went there. Kind of under selling the World Games there Granted they have a small following, but they’ve been experiencing some major growth over the last 2/3 editions.

yoshi Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Well I can't say I've noticed any coverage of the World Games in this country (UK btw) beyond the very specialist sports sites like here, hence the comment. If it's a much bigger deal in other countries, then great, didn't know that - maybe we (well our main media) should be less parochial - wouldn't be the first time that's been called for - & give it more attention next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Azerbaijan, flaring up the old Naghorno conflict which could potentially end into a mass genocide, and Belarus, cheating elections again and jailing up all of its opossition, including a 70 years old grandmother. Nice "hosts" you picked, EOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacre Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I would say it was the other way around. The only countries interested in hosting this event are dictatorships who want to make themselves look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that and also sports organisations tend to shy away from having to face scrutiny, so bigger chance they'll favour shoddy deals with Lukashenko and co. On that note, the Belarus athletics federation just elected Ivan Tikhan (hammer thrower, multiple doping offender) as its president. Still looking much more forward to our own hosting of the European Championships in 2022. Some budget cuts were already made due to corona (e.g. makeshift facilities rather than renovation work at the rowing/canoe venue), but I hope the events will go ahead as planned and even with an audience.

I think it's a interesting design comparing with Minsk 2019. Do anyone else have their reactions with the logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportLightning Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 No, the EOC current logo is permission used. The EOC picked the design for the games that was designed by Marcin Salawa. The logo of Krakow 2023 is symbolized with fire and water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) It doesn’t mean this Salawa didn’t great “inspiration” from this site.

Glacib Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well I always dreamed to design a logo for the olympics, guess the european games are a nice start :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I've heard of people slightly amending Games logos to make comp entries - but I've never come across the reverse before! Not even @paul ever managed that, that's worth a logo comp hall of fame place on its own! Edited July 12, 2022 by yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brekkie Boy Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 The EBU and EOC have signed a deal for the rights to the 2023 and 2027 games meaninig for the first time it'll be guaranteed live free to air coverage on PSBs across the continent, which perhaps gives it a chance of sticking arond a bit longer. Just need the federations to sort themselves out and get behind a united programme. Not sure if any potential hosts have expressed an interest in 2027 yet - the EOC chief wants them to go to a Western European host. Have to wonder if it's the sort of thing Birmingham might now go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Dragon is obviously going to win it. The Wawel Dragon is a very important and recognizable symbol/character of Krako. My main problem with it is that it looks so much like Tabaluga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportLightning Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Well we have a winner. Krakusek The dragon designed by 15 year old Katarzyna Biśta. Because she won the contest, the young lady from Libiąż, will receive VIP tickets to the Kraków-Małopolska 2023 Opening and Closing Ceremonies, European Games gadgets and a personalised mascot as a reward.
