| Notes: a deal with the Norwegian Bobsleigh Association will mean the granting of home track status on the Lillehammer track. This would mean that the BBA can then seek to bid for a World Cup race, and potentially the World Championships in 2000-01.

| Notes: generally the staging of international events is left to the disabled organisations and not the governing bodies. Increased resources may allow the governing bodies to assume this mantle in the future. The Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games have agreed to include events in five sports for athletes with disabilities.

| Notes: if Britain are awarded the 2003 European dressage championship, it would not be awarded the championships in 2005. It is also unlikely that the FEI would award both the show jumping European championships and the World championships in 2006 to the same country.
