First of all, it is great to see that we are back to 2 Challenger events in North America next season. Although, it is disappointing that there are still none in the Asia / Pacific region.
With regards the Major Championships, it is interesting to see the lists of candidates for all the 2019-20 events.
So, after all our griping, we now know that Four Continents will finally be returing to North America in 2019. And Junior Worlds will (yet again) be in Europe.
It looks like Croatia is really determined to get holding a Major in 2019, as their federation has applied for everything they are eligible for! Personally, I would love to see them get Senior Worlds, as Zagreb has already hosted Europeans once and Junior Worlds twice in the period 1998-2018 (see here)
Tallinn has hosted both Europeans and Junior Worlds once in the same time period, so maybe they should get Junior Worlds again to allow somewhere else to get Europeans.
By the way, the Ukraine has never hosted a Major in the period 1998-2018, so I would love to see Europeans go there.
But, is there any sign of the outstanding locations for the remaining Major Championships of the previous season being announced?
According to the table I made out for my distribution study, we are still waiting for confirmation of the locations for:
2017 Grand Prix Final
2018 Four Continents
2018 Junior Worlds
Also, has the FISG decided yet whether the 2018 Senior World Championships will be staged in Milan or in Turin?
Hopefully these will be confirmed soon.
