You wanna pull it even further back, COVID fucking up schedules spoiled us with a long run of global events that's ending this year>2020 Olympics pushed to 2021It was fucked by no crowds but had tons of great moments of athletic excellence.>2022 Winter Olympics and World CupOlympics were mid because China is soulless but it was a fun last ride for the Team USA oldheads and lolispin.Qatar was unexpectedly high level and the final might be one of the best soccer games ever played. >2023 Baseball Classic Hugely delayed which gave it a fuckton of anticipation, interesting mix of young and old players on most teams, Mexico-Japan is the best baseball game ever played outside MLB and the USA-Japan final was straight out of a fucking movie.>2024 Paris OlympicsFirst proper Olympics in almost a decade, huge hype and plenty of memorable moments/memes and iconic scenes. >2025 Fucking nothing>2026Made up for the gap with Olympics/WBC/WC all back-to-back-back >Next yearNothing, then it's just normally scheduled Olympics and World Cups...
