In a way, the introduction of Decathlon as a sponsor marks a French investment :d

Concerning Austria, Hochfilzen is already a German venue, as is Antholz btw.

I know that both Antholz and Hochfilzen are essentially German venues.  It is like Minsk, Oteppa and Finland are psudo-Russian venues.  

 

Oberhof looks really sad today.

Although there one must add that Hochfilzen and Antholz don't seem to be problematic venues, or am I forgetting things? :p 

 

It feels like it's usually an excellent combination of nice sunny weather with excellent snow conditions, which is sort of perfect :d

Artificial snow? I wonder if everyone picks the early numbers to avoid the mud :whistle:

Snow has been falling and is being forecast for the next few days as well. Like in larger parts of central Europe, temperatures seem to be going down a bit now, including snowfall.

Since last night, temperatures have dropped below zero. Then the artificial snow was applied, and the first fresh snow fell tonight. Today and Friday there should be a lot of snow again. 
Basically, however, it is better to run on artificial snow. At the Olympics, we also have only artificial snow.

In addition, a note: The route plans for this year and the world championship next year have been slightly changed again. The so-called 'Henkel loop' will be run in every race from now on. Therefore the 'Birx-Steig' will be omitted in the Single Mixed Relay.

    • Slovakia is technically returning through Czechia :)
    • We've been told that during the past 3 tournaments as well. There won't be many opportunities left. While I obviously believe they can do something big this year, it will be crucial not to screw up the quarterfinal game from the very beginning.
    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
