Oh my... Minutes from death...

 

(Also, I love the fact, that I can understand everything she wrote, because it's almost Polish)

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

3 Minutes after she parked the car, some fool idiot in high speed arrived from the other side and you know the rest, couldn´t brake, resulting in heavy crash the car literally flew until the nearest road sign.

 

Certain death, real Luck that none was in the car

Oh she was actually driving that car herself :yikes:

 

Thanks, thank luck she escaped..

At a World Cup meeting held on Friday 28th September in Zurich. Two things were discussed regarding the future of the World Cup.

 

- An unofficial proposal has been made about reducing the quotas for the Top 30 nations in World Cup.

- Harmonizing the parallel skiing event rules, which mean, finding one format that could be used in the 2019/20 season. 

 

Both discussion points will be either further discussed or decided upon at the next meeting in Dubrovnik in the spring.

Noooo!!!! A with that comes the end of childhood, literally (I mean literally, cause I celebrated an Olympic birthday, and it was great). I’m so sad to see her retire, but it was in the back of my mind that she  might

No worries, I'm sure she'll manage to steal everyone's thunder and demand every bit of attention even when she's not competing anymore :p

Well, unlike several attention seekers these days, Vonn has actually managed to win a race or two she entered.... Besides I believe there's more drama in the US figure skating these days and their results are only getting worse...

Completely missed that a few weeks ago, but Melanie Meillard is already out for the entire season :cry:

 

Her knee injury from right before the Olympics hasn't recovered well and she has to get a new surgery (which by now maybe she had).

 

She has had her surgery and it went well, according to her instagram. Hopefully she will beack soon :cheer:

    • Some good news: Matt Gaetz is out from his position as attorney general, basically two months before he'd even start.
    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
