143rd IOC Media is currently running.     Frist vote was about some IFs name change:   World Curling Federation become World Curling FIS adding "and Skateboarding" in the name 

Reported list of skaters & coaches on board the plane:   Andrew Torgashev, Katie McBeth, Daniil Parkman, Christina Carreira, Anthony Ponomarenko, Alexey Shchepetov, Artem Markelov, Anton Spiridonov, Danila Savelyev, Evgenia Shishkova, Vadim Naumov, Inna Volyanskaya, Spencer Lane, Gina Khan, Franco Aparicio, Everly Livingston, Alydia Livingston, Sean Kay & Angela Yang.    

Evgenia Shishkova & Vadim Naumov (1994 World Champions in pairs) very likely were killed in the American Airlines collision with US Army helicopter in Washington last night.

There is information about Juventus's catastrophe with Benfica

Shot-putter Asmir Kolašinac, 4 times Olympian and European Indoor Champion

Looks like also two 1994 world champions, pair skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who have been coaches in the US for years.

But there is zero indication, at all. Tarjei has been hinting on retirement for years, JTB has always made it clear he didn't want to continue after Cortina and simply moved it up a year, and Riiber has a disease.

This does not at all seem related, as Crohn's disease is given as the - understandable - reason. Also might explain why he hasn't been that dominant lately.   Same for the Boe brothers, that feels entirely different than the Braathen thing.

Just notice that  Usman Khawaja scored 232 runs off 352 balls in a single innings in the Test match against Sri Lanka.  Two other Australian players have already scored centuries, and the Aussi are 591/5. Massive batting performance In other news, Steven Smith scored 10k runs in his Test career.
