Week Preview
The Men’s Ice Hockey World Championships are set to conclude in Latvia. Canada and Germany will define the eight playoff sport. Team USA was the best team after the first round even as the NHL Playoffs go on in North America.
Formula 1 will race in the very sui generis Baku Street Circuit (AZE), which might open the doors for unlikely results. Moto GP goes to Barcelona a week after the tragic loss of Jason Dupasquier (SUI) in Moto3. Nürburgring hosts its 24-Hour Race.
Sail GP will have its second round of the season, in the Italian coast.
Across the Mediterranean Sea, Roland Garros is playing two weeks. In the women’s side Naomi Osaka (JPN) has already withdrawn, and Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) is making a big comeback after beating cancer. In the men’s side, Nadal (ESP), Dojokovic (SRB) and Federer (SUI) are on the same side of the bracket for the first time in many years.
A week after the LPGA Match Play, the Ladies will now play in the U.S. Women’s Open. In the men’s side, the European Tour has the European Open, in Germany.
There are several Grade I horse races this week, notably the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the US Triple Crown.
The World Surfing Games in El Salvador will give the last Olympic berths that are available. There have already been some reported covid-19 cases. Gold medal contenders Gabriel Medina (BRA) and Tatiana Weston-Webb (BRA) abandoned the event, without citing a specific reason.
