After a 2020 marked by cancellations due to the coronavirus, the 2021 that we left behind has meant the return of most of the competitions that were suppressed then. By 2022 we hope that the sports calendar will definitively return to normal. Below we present the 2022 sports agenda , where the Winter Olympics and the World Cup stand out above all, changing their usual summer dates for the month of November.
