We can make a deal if your Ski Jumping B team will be really for sale :d Right now we have 0 athletes in this sport :( only 3 still very young girls apparently are trying it

 

Well, Czech Republic also went down the ski jumping gutter even quicker than Finland. This sport has become even more elusive than before. The fruit is hanging as low as it ever did. Don't remember any Slovakians in ski jumping since Martin Mesik (sp?) tbh.

Yeah, he was the last more or less famous ski jumper, after his retirement we had one more guy competing here and there in World Cup/Continental Cup/FIS Cup Tomáš Zmoray, but his biggest success was qualifying from qualifiers to the first round in Vancouver 2010 large hill event, he decided to retire few seasons back, he was still young, but looking at the situation in this sport here, he had to gave up.

 

The Czechs have at least infrastructure and they always will have some depth among youth categories, so they still will have high level competitors

men's GS cancelled earlier today in Soelden will be contested on the Gran Risa piste in Alta Badia on Tuesday, December 18th (the official statement by FIS will be published tomorrow, but the Italian press and NF are already sure of that)...

therefore we're going to have 3 races on the famous South Tyrolean piste (the traditional GS on Dec, 16th and a Parallel Slalom on Dec, 17th)...

Hmm.. I've read that Harrachov is basically out of order unless they renovate it and I don't know what's cooking at Liberec?

Too bad they don’t reacheduel for, say, Monday. It’s not like the athletes have to be anywhere anytime soon...

 

I think FIS doesn't want that. It's monday and there won't be a big enough audience, because people are at work. Before i started work, that was my thought too, but now i have to reconsider that. :d

I mean they reschedueled the race for a Thursday in December. Before the Xmas vacation. Not a much better time surely.

 

Also I guess I don’t really care about the time of the week because most races are way outside of when I’m awake anyway. The Sölden races started at 3am local time for me.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
