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.

Tottenham glory Gary Mabbutt was also one of the first pro athletes to admit publicly he had diabetis through his entire career...

 

nowadays, New York Rangers' Finnish player Kaapo Kakko plays despite having diabetis type 1...

 

and many more high level athletes have the same problem...

 

modern medicines allow people to keep it under control with not too many counter effects, so also being a pro sportsman is possible without too many restrictions...

According to Ken Childs, the IBSF had allocated the last quota to Katie Tannenbaum , which would bring us back up to 91 nations in Beijing.

Unless I screwed up the calculations (which is highly possible), I don't believe there were any quota changes from the past week or so.   Men:   3 quotas:    Germany

Was going to mention him, but I thought “No, nobody is going to remember that far back”. :rolleyes:

Skeleton World Championships silver medalist Axel Jungk also tested positive a week ago. There is still hope for him though. Hannah Neise also tested positive after St Moritz, but she already has four consecutive negative tests and can travel.

Funny how the USA selected Andrew Blaser to be their representative, since he is clearly only the third best American slider. :p

 

He just got lucky not to make the WC team. Collecting points was so much easier on the weaker North American Cup (and on familiar tracks).

Can't blame him for understanding the rules!

Unfortunately the person writing this article does not know what they are talking about.  Hopefully (if you are rooting for Israel and Ireland to get in) the substance of their case is simply about the unused bobsleigh quotas. I don't see how there could be a case, you failed to qualify, the rules were clear.

Can confirm both of these were rejected. No changes will be made.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      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)

      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."
