2023 European Speed Skating Championships

Since 1893, the International Skating Union has been in charge of organizing the European Championships for Men (unofficial Championships were conducted in the years 1891–1892), and since 1970, they have been in charge of organizing the European Championships for Women. Since the year 1990, the men's and women's European Championships have been held simultaneously at the same location. The European Sprint Speed Skating Championships for both men and women will begin in 2017 and will continue to be held every other year at the same time and location as the men's competition. As of the year 2018, the Allround and Sprint championships will no longer be held on even-numbered years; instead, the Men's and Women's Single Distance Championships will be competed for. The event took place on 6, 7 and 8th of January 2023.

2023 Monte Carlo Rally

The 91st Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, more often referred to as the 2023 Monte Carlo Rally, was a competition for rally cars that took place over the course of four days, beginning on January 19 and ending on January 22, 2023. It was the inaugural round of competition for the World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2, and World Rally Championship-3 in 2023.

IBSF European Championships 2023

From the 20th to the 22nd of January 2023, the city of Altenberg in Germany played host to the IBSF European Championships. As in previous years, Germany came out on top at the European Championships, winning a total of eleven out of the available eighteen medals, including four gold medals. Germany absolutely dominated the competition. However, Great Britain was able to steal two gold medals from Germany in the male competitions, one of which was won in the very first event of the championships, and the other was won at the very last event. A pattern of close competitiveness on the male side between Germany and Great Britain remained throughout the season as a result of this, and it would continue in the IBSF World Championships 2023, which were held later that month.
