:AUT Lamparter can make up 26 seconds to Greiderer? I assume Japanese will struggle in cross country as usual.

Definitely, Rydzek is the big question mark. If he is remotely close to his best in cross-country skiing, then he should win it.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

 Is there any good reason why this sport doesn't have at least a second jump run for a bit of equity ?

TV air time! Two round of jumping will be ~2h + 40min of run, sadly nobody get time to broadcast this.

I'm afraid in Slovakia it's better off being ice hockey player #856 than ski jumper #1? :p

Yeah, sadly bellow zero interest in this sport here. Which is really sad, because I love this sport a lot, was the first winter sport I started to watch and immediatelly fell in love with it since the Bjarte Engen Vik era, but sometimes I feel like I am the only one in Slovakia... Even the schedulled ski jumping part today was cut off from our TV to have like a 30 minutes studio before the hockey match between russia and switzerland. so yeah that´s it...

 

At least I have czech TV and eurosports

So Riiber is still not clear? What a bummer this could turn out for him. More than Kramer, who was very good only this season, while he has been dominating for 4 years.

Yeah, Riiber, Ilves, Frenzel & Weber were all absent.

Although the past few weeks might have shown he had peaked a little wrong...but we'll never know I guess.

Or just change the point calculations a little if it's that unfair now (which I don't think it is) :p

    • you don't even have idea how it works   last week he was the best of the field and now he's in bad shape?   on Friday he was 24th despite 4 (4!!!!!) missed shots and Yesterday he suddenly went out of shape?   be serious!   he either just had bad skis or he got sick, like many other athletes (see Vittozzi)   the snow in LGB is usually shit, results are always heavily influenced by that and Italy is one of the teams that usually struggle a lot in that place   nothing new and nothing to be worried about
    • Don't look now but the Bears might actually win the division in Ben Johnson's first season as HC...      
    • Festival of Music   For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration.     I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This.     Picture This - This Christmas  
    • pair Danilova/Tsiba hasn't fulfilled the national criteria to participate in the Games but their skating federation has sent a request to the national olympic committee for an exception and to include them to the TeamNL. https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/knsb-dient-verzoek-in-voor-olympisch-startbewijs-danilova-tsiba/
    • Juniors were there recently and the track was awful   Although that's not necessarily bad. Tracks don't all need to be fast, a slow track (like the horribly slow one in Poland) simply favors a different style of athletes. Training a lot there doesn't really give much extra advantage though, not like in sliding sports where of course as host country you make sure your athletes know every single meter a year before the Olympics.    And to get back on topic: speed skater Elisa Dul broke her tibia and fibula in a training fall yesterday and will obviously be out of the OQT and so the Olympics. 
    • The PSL race in Davos was (yet another) insult to a beautiful discipline. The red course (which was actually yellow) had several holes and an exposed ice sheet, which made the athletes slide way too long, causing DNFs or massive time losses. The only positive note is that Caffont won despite racing on the more dangerous course in the final

    • Parallel Slalom WC Davos     Women Gold-  Elisa Caffont Silver-  Zuzana Maderova Bronze-  Miki Tsubaki Surprising 4th for  Annamarri Dancha   Men Gold-  Arvid Auner Silver-  Gabriel Messner Bronze-  Aaron March   Full Results
    • Ski Cross WC Innichen   Women Gold-  Marielle Berger Sabbatel Silver-  Fanny Smith Bronze-  Sandra Naeslund Naeslund only winning bronze    Could very well be a preview of the women's big final at the Olympics.    Men Gold-  Reece Howden Silver-  Alex Fiva Bronze-  Tobias Bauer   With his win today, Howden is now the all-time leader in men's WC wins with 20!    Solid 4th for Jared Schmidt as well   Full Results
