Current weather might make a fun pursuit. And if Biathlon Gods are fair, we'll get couple of completely random podiums in this really-really-should-not-be-a-medals-event.

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

I believe it's the only Olympic event where you get a direct advantage from another Olympic event, right?

 

If I had my way there would be a sprint that awards medals and a separate sprint that is used as qualifying for the pursuit, as impractical as that may seem.

We had this in cross country before the current skiathlon format (1992-2002). A medal-free race that only set the time difference for the pursuit. It wasn't the best idea though so I doubt we'll see it revived.

Time for the single most unfair and nonsensical event of the entire Olympic program, summer or winter. Ugh.

Cross Country skiing had the same type of event in 1992, 94 and 98. Classic race where medals were awarded, then pursuit race with additional medals.

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
