Sure, I used Geng as a benchmark for international comparison since we don't have any way to evaluate how the Chinese athlete will fare against the likes of Dukurs or Tretiakov.

 

Btw do you have links for this results ?

I just knew the ranking from the news and Geng ranked 3rd. But I don’t have know the finishing time and the video is not revealed.

Yeah bro. She mentioned that she felt her body does not listen to her this season. Went for blood test before the Games and found oit she has diabetes type 1. She does not give up Olympic dream in Czech colors but she will decide the further steps after the Games....

Ok, it's time for an inspirational story.

 

American swimmer, Gary Hall Jr was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1999. He took a short break from competitive swimming, then he returned and went on to win Olympic gold in the 50 freestyle, in both 2000 and 2004. To date, he is one of only two men who has successfully defended an Olympic title in the 50 freestyle. He also won several medals in relays.

 

Obviously, I'm not posting this to raise expectations about Fernstadt, but to show an example, that nothing is impossible in sport. Of course, Fernstadt will do what is best for her health. Just don't give up hope that she might continue her career.

British rowing legend Steve Redgrave also won Gold after a diabetes diagnosis. There is, or was, an American all-diabetic pro cycling team we saw sometimes when the World Tour visited the US.  Also an American cross country skier, can’t remember who.  So no need to be in despair.

Unlike Tannenbaum’s :ISV case last cycle, which looked to add an additional quota so as to not punish any of the other sliders, Henry :USA is actively appealing to take the quota given to Tannenbaum.

She has a very good point. ATP they should let both compete and cut their loses and claim more women competed than men, which ofc would wet Thomas Bach :p

Novo Nordisk is the cycling team. Not exactly a succesful one, but obviously good for inspiration in terms of being able to have a sports career.

Michal Jelinski, rowing Olympic champion from 2008 also has type 1 diabetes and nobody cares about that. I don't understand this diabetes craze that is supposedly to make their achievements exceptional. I haven't seen this narrative preached outside of US media tbh.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
