Last year was a year of darkness in football, hits and misses in hockey, issues of doping in athletics and a shaky show by the national teams in rugby.

The year was certainly a year to forget. Clouded by Covid-19 aftermath, endless financial challenges from club level to the national teams, Fifa ban as well as leadership wrangles in a number of federations, athletes will wish not to remember 2022.
