Upcoming Sporting Events
So that’s it. The flame has gone out and London has returned to normal. If Olympic withdrawals are hitting you as hard as they are us here at the dealchecker office then why not start planning your next big sporting adventure? Many of us Brits, having enjoyed a slice of live sporting actions, are keen for more – so what does the future have in store?
Ryder Cup, Illinois, USA
September 2012
If you just can’t wait any longer for your next sporting fix then get to Medinah in Illinois, where they are hosting the Ryder Cup for the very first time. This competition sees the finest US golfing talent battle it out against the best from Europe. Honour is most definitely at stake here so make sure you cheer your side on!
World Aquatic Championships, Barcelona
July – August 2013
There are all types of water-based events here from traditional swimming to the open-water swim, synchronised swimming, diving and water polo. The diving will be held at the iconic Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc, with breathtaking views of the city in the background. Plus, you’ll be in Barcelona so the world of Gaudi, the gothic quarter and more will be in store too!
Women’s Euro 2013, Sweden
July 2013
Women’s football really took off in London, with record crowds at many of the matches. If you’re a fan, new or old, why not head to Euro 2013 to see the female teams battling it out for glory. There are venues all around the country, so you can get to know Sweden better too. Check out the The Avenue and the Southern Gothenburg Archipelago in Gothenburg, and the three royal palaces in Solna.
X Games 2013, Various Worldwide Locations
January – August 2013
If the crunching crashes at the BMX track have made you hunger for more extreme sports action then the X Games are where it’s at. Expanding to six locations worldwide for 2013 there’s more chance than ever to catch some of the action, whether you want winter or summer daring. Aspen, Colorado, and Tignes in France will host the snow-based events, whilst Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil, Barcelona, Munich and Los Angeles will all host summer events.
2013 World Athletics Championships, Moscow
August 2013
Can our track and field stars do it all over again in Moscow for the World Championships? Cheer on Mo, shout for Jess and explore this amazing city – what could be better? See Red Square, the Kremlin, marvel at the opulent underground stations, and take a weird wander through the parks where all the hundreds of communist statues went after the fall of the USSR.
2016 Olympics, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
August 2016
Already boasting a better logo than the London games, but offering a slightly haphazard shapshot of what to expect at the Closing Ceremony, we can’t help but look forwards to Rio. We’re expecting beach volleyball with amazing views, fanatical footballing fans and lovely tropical weather, so keep your eyes peeled for travel deals, tickets and more as soon as they are available!
