CAN THE USA HOLD ON TO TOP SPOT IN THE GSI NATIONS IND
EX?……despite scoring fewer points than in 2017? or will any of the remaining nations in last year’s Top 5 – United Kingdom, Russia, China or Canada– push their way to the top?
WE'VE SEEN SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT IN THE GSI CITIES INDEX….with four cities in the top 5 changing places, will London be denied being crowned Global Sports City for a 7th consecutive year? And with only
four cities in the top 20 not moving, who will be the biggest climber?
A TOTAL OF 80 EVENTS CONSIDERED FOR SPORTCAL'S GSI EVENT OF 2017……with the Top 5 events separated by a mere 230 points, who will earn the crown of the GSI Event of 2017, in a year when none of the traditional biggest sporting events were held?
RESULTS TO BE ANNOUNCED @ 13:45 (LOCAL TIME) ON TUESDAY 17TH IN THE SAC CAFE, AT SPEAKERS' CORNER, SPORTACCORD 2018
