Confederations Cup. Debut in Russia and debut in Russia
Probably the main sporting event of 2017 will be the Confederations Cup. For the first time Russia will host football tournament of such a scale, and the national team of our country will take part in the Cup for the first time for the best teams of their associations.
In addition to the winners of the continental championships - the teams of Portugal, Chile, New Zealand, Mexico, Australia and the future winner of the African Cup - the current world champion - Germany - will also come to Russia.

This meeting will take place on June 24.
Considering the composition of the Confederations Cup, by the will of the lot, the Russian team again did not have the strongest group. Maybe our home walls will help our team perform differently than usual?
The semifinal matches will take place on July 28 and 29 in Kazan and Sochi. On the last day of the tournament, July 2, Moscow will host the match for third place, and St. Petersburg will host the final. In total, 16 games will take place in Russia - four in each of the four cities. This tournament will serve as a dress rehearsal for the World Cup, which the country will host a year later.
Ten years later, he had a chance to become the best in Europe again - this time as the head of the president of the national basketball federation.
CSKA retains title in new format
The current champion of the main club tournament in European basketball, CSKA Moscow, began its campaign for a new title confidently and is several points ahead of its closest competitors in the table.
By the way, the Euroleague really became a league in the 2016/17 season. The continent's 16 strongest teams play a two-round tournament, after which the top eight play a playoff round that will determine the participants in the final four. The decisive matches will take place on May 19-21 in Istanbul.
In addition to CSKA, Kazan UNICS also takes part in the Euroleague. On at the moment In the main part of the tournament, only half of the matches have been played - 15 out of 30, which means that the whole struggle is still ahead.
Winter sports
Russia is losing tournaments and athletes
On December 9, 2016, the second part of the commission's report (WADA) was made public, which states that more than a thousand Russian athletes were involved in manipulation of doping tests in thirty sports at various competitions.
The reaction was immediate. A few days after the publication, the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) deprived our country of the right to host the 2017 World Championships in Sochi. Then Russia lost the Biathlon World Cup in Tyumen and the World Junior Championships in Ostrov.
Literally in the same minutes International Union speed skating (ISU) announces the postponement of the World Cup final speed skating from Chelyabinsk. The next day, the International Federation skiing(FIS), in addition to suspending six skiers, announced that the World Cup Final ski racing will be moved from Tyumen.
And now we are facing 2017 with the threat of transfers from Russia and other competitions.
In addition, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) continues to conduct its investigation into the substitution of doping tests of Russians at the Games in Sochi, as well as the existence in Russia of a state system for supporting the use of prohibited drugs by athletes.
If two IOC commissions discover real evidence of Russia’s guilt, the most serious sanctions may follow in 2017 - up to and including the removal of all Russian athletes from international competitions, including winter ones Olympic Games- 2018, as well as the deprivation of the Russian Olympic Committee of membership in the IOC. But it’s better not to think about it for now.
World Championships with an eye on the Olympics
The World Figure Skating Championships, which will be held in Helsinki from March 29 to April 2, will be the last one before the upcoming games in Korea. This means that Olympic quotas will be played out at the tournament, which determine the number of athletes who will represent Russia at the main start of the planet in 2018.
At the tournament in Finland, Russian fans' main hopes are tied to the women's single skating, where the title of the current world champion will be defended.
In addition, they can easily compete for victory. It’s safe to say that we are looking forward to the type of program that was once the weakest in the Russian national team.
Another hope is associated with the return of Olympic champions and.
The Biathlon World Championships will take place from 9 to 19 February in Hochfilzen, Austria. A year ago, this tournament became simply terrifying for the Russian team - our team was left without medals.
This year's prospects Russian team look optimistic. Men finish in the top three in almost all World Cup races, and among women they shot, winning the sprint at the stage in the Czech Republic.
Also, from February 22 to March 5, 2017, the World Ski Championships will be held in Lahti, Finland, which will show the level of Russian athletes before the upcoming Olympics.
Athletics. Will the Russians be allowed to say goodbye to Bolt?
The main athletics event of 2017, the World Championships, will take place from August 5-13 at the Olympic Stadium in London. But the participation of Russian athletes at this forum remains a big question mark.
IN New Year Russian athletes are included in the rank of suspended from all international competitions, and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), due to numerous violations of anti-doping rules, suspended membership in the organization of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) back in November 2015. So, at the Olympics in Rio, Russia was represented only by a long jumper.
The IAAF hoped for the Russians to return to the London World Championships, but the president of the association, after reading the second part of McLaren’s report, admitted that he was “outraged” by the new facts that emerged during the investigation.
Some solutions to the “Russian issue” are possible as early as January. This month, an independent IAAF commission led by the IAAF will visit our country, which should assess how far ARAF has progressed in meeting the criteria for restoration of membership. A meeting of the IAAF Council will be held in February, at which Andersen will talk about the situation in Russian athletics.
Among other things, the 2017 World Championships should be the last official tournament in which the famous Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt will perform. Whether Russian track and field athletes will be able to say goodbye to the nine-time Olympic champion is still a big question.
Tennis. Sharapova after meldonium holiday
2017 in the world tennis will be marked by the return to the courts of the famous Russian athlete.
Winner of five tournaments Grand Slam in June 2016, she was disqualified by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for two years starting in January 2016, after traces of meldonium were found in her doping test, but later Sports arbitration court(CAS) reduced the period of disqualification. Sharapova is cleared to return to tournament competition starting April 26.
However, in the first major competition of the new year Russian athlete will not be able to participate. One of the four Grand Slam tournaments - Open Championship Australian tennis starts on January 16th.
"Formula 1". New tires and Hamilton's partner
In 2017, Formula 1 will see revolutionary updates to its technical regulations. The requirements for power plants and aerodynamic components of cars will change, and the tires will also change radically, which will become much wider. All new items will be visually noticeable to the naked eye - appearance the cars will become more aggressive, and thanks to all the changes, the lap speed can increase by 2-6 seconds.
One of the main intrigues upcoming season The lineup of Mercedes drivers, winners of the 2016 Constructors' Championship, remains.
After winning the championship title, he left Formula 1, freeing up the cockpit for his new partner, Lewis Hamilton.
One of the candidates for a place in the German “stable” is Valtteri Bottas. If the Finnish pilot leaves Williams, he may return to the “royal racing”, having previously announced his retirement, but, according to rumors, has already agreed to return to the track.
In addition, the process of changing Formula 1 owners should be completed in 2017. The world motorsport championship will be headed by the American company Liberty Media, whose arrival in the “royal racing” could seriously change the usual course of the championship. The first race of the season will be the Australian Grand Prix, which will take place on March 26.
Boxing. Battles at Wembley and in court
From 2016 into the coming year, several stories are moving in the boxing world that are awaiting their outcome. All of them relate exclusively to sporting confrontations, but here is one - the situation with the failed title fights super heavyweight - will be decided not in the ring, but in the judges' halls and offices of sports officials.
The date of one of the most anticipated fights in the new year is already known: former champion The world heavyweight champion will return to the ring on April 29 after a break of almost a year and a half.
His opponent in the fight, which will take place at the famous Wembley Stadium, will be the holder of the IBF belt, the British Olympic champion.
A rematch in the up to 79.4 kg category between the Russian and the American should also take place at the beginning of 2017, who, after a rather controversial victory on points, became the owner of three belts at once - WBO, IBF and WBA (Super). A condition in the form of a rematch in the event of Crusher's defeat was prudently included in the contract for the first fight by promoter Katie Duva, but there is still no exact information about when it could take place. If you believe the overseas media, the fight could take place in Russia.
It is quite possible that 2017 will be the last in the long career of one of best boxers last decade, regardless of weight categories — Manny Pacquiao. At least, this is what his long-term coach talks about, and the Filipino’s manager notes that, most likely, Pacman will hold his fights in June and November.
Finally, one of the most technical representatives of modern boxing, the Ukrainian, who holds the WBO champion title in the up to 59 kg category, is determined to take revenge on the Mexican veteran Orlando Salido, who previously defeated the two-time Olympic champion in his second fight at professional ring. Another boxing star from the post-Soviet space, a Kazakhstani, will begin the year with the mandatory defense of one of his three belts in the up to 74.2 kg category: on March 18 in New York, his opponent should be an American.

Every year more than 70 best clubs Europe is identifying which of them is more worthy than the rest to be called the strongest on the continent and represent Europe at the World Championships among club teams. Last season, Real Madrid became one of them, but even the Madrid team will have to work hard to reach the finals in this tournament. Now that the pairs for the 1/8 finals have been determined, it is already clear that there are no frankly weak and “passable” opponents left. Even the English Leicester, which languishes in the championship at the bottom of the table, plays completely differently in the Champions League and rightfully made it to the playoffs. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern are traditionally considered the favorites of this tournament, but almost any of the remaining 16 are capable of fighting against the famous giants.

EuroBasket 2017 among women's teams
Venue: Czech Republic
At the European Championships in the Czech Republic, the Russian team will traditionally be one of the favorites of the tournament. Despite the fact that in recent years there has been a slight decline in interest in women's basketball in Russia, the national team continues to show very good results. In 2015, the Russians came fifth, which can be explained by bad luck - in the first round the girls ended up in France and were content with playing for 5th-8th places. If things go well in the playoffs, the Russians are quite capable of making it to the semi-finals and competing for medals with Spain, France, Serbia and Turkey. So far, these four and Russia have no comparable competitors.
