Paulína to our TV : "No idea which genius had this bright idea to build the biathlon stadium and shooting range on the completely open peak of the highest local hill" :lol:

 

It was -15 during the training but with the extreme wind, the biathletes felt that it was around -35 at some moments :p

I hate my work for making me miss Justine winning an Olympic title... I don't know how I would've reacted if I'd seen it live!   My dad sent me a text telling me she won and I seriously thou

It would be odd here in the UK for the news to say Bejing is too cold when we have had months of it saying Bejing is too hot.

As they should. I bet biathletes are sick and tired of having to race two straight Olympics in unheard of conditions because some "fans" are too lazy to wake up at 7 am or something.

don't worry, it won't happen anymore in 4 years time...

 

in 2026, no snow sport will be under the floodlights (except maybe the alpine skiing slaloms in Bormio and some freestyle events, but I'm not sure about that, too)...

I wonder if there would be any spectators under these circumstances even without COVID. It must be almost unbearably cold for everyone there, not just for the athletes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they start pushing them back because the ratings for the Winter Olympics look set to be poor and they might need more evening events in Europe to give 2026 a boost.

The spectators could have sat under giant heaters.  I am sure I saw people standing under a heater at the Moguls yesterday.

I have never attended winter sport events, does that actually help what it's that cold and windy?

Does anyone have a reliable weather source for Zhangjiakou? On the page of the organizers it is never announced so cold, only around -5 degrees

Why would you say that, when like a week ago we had Snowboard WC in Cortina at night :d  Biathlon and cross-country would be more likely for the day session, but i'm sure Ski-Jumping, snowboard, freestyle stuff would be slotted during the later part of the day. After all they need to balance the schedule.

The Ski Jumping was at night in Sochi so It must have a fair chance of being at night in 2026.

      Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By LastPlaceViking · Posted

      Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.

      So  Jordan Stolz had himself a weekend with 3 track records:   33.905 500m 1:06.380 1000m 1:42.552 1500m   Those times would've put him in contention to medal in Salt Lake City and Calgary
