Results websites for other sports

[tobydawq]

Pro cycling has PCS, CQRanking, FirstCycling and likely a few other results databases that make following the sport a lot easier but whenever I try to look up results or calendars from other sports, I am hopelessly ineffective - likely because I don't frequent forums for other sports or see posts on social media from anything else than cycling. I always end up on official websites or Wikipedia which is frankly lacking compared to stuff like PCS.

So I wanted to hear whether any of you know of any websites similar to PCS but for other sports - I'm thinking football, tennis, golf, athletics, you name it.

The only one I know of is transfermarkt which isn't as good as PCS - but to be fair, it's probably harder to make a good site of football than cycling due to a much bigger scope.

Well, FirstCycling has a skisport focused sister-site:

FirstSkisport.com

FirstSkisport.com. Visit ut for results, startlists, historical data and more.

I usually end up on worldathletics.org for athletics, but I doubt it's best website available. There's also this Swedish one, which looks like it hasn't been updated since it was launched in 1997, but new results are apparently added regularly: https://www.alltime-athletics.com/index.html.

For football, I've also used https://www.worldfootball.net/, because they sometimes had some results that didn't show up on transfermarkt or some other sites, but I don't think they have the most comprehensive database either.

As a stats interested sport addicted guy, I have actually looked at baseball-reference for baseball statistics before. Doubt this helps

For football, the American gridiron kind, this used to be a great resource.

A few years ago they "improved" it and of course that made it much less useful.

I think baseball is fine if you go to games because of the atmosphere (I went to a few games at the old Cleveland stadium, it was nuts), but I've heard if you're a stats guy baseball is the way to go whether you're able to attend games or not. Apparently baseball is a stats person's wet dream.

Sort of amazing that cycling used to be tracked in the US by using Winning magazine or VeloNews...oh oh how far we have come.

Yup. Results only 6 weeks late. But I used to read Winning cover to cover. The only place for “recent” results—at least during Le Tour—was The NY Times results page. After Lemond started racing it they would post a stage results top ten. But no narrative description.
