COMPLETELY. OUT. OF. NOWHERE. 

 

Thomas Fafard (hadn’t heard of him before today) with the performance of his lifetime (by a mile) recording a HUGE new PB of 13:05.07 in the men’s 5000m at the IFAM Outdoor Brussels!!! :hyper::yikes::clap: (Approximately an 18 second improvement on his 13:22.93)

 

Misses out on the Olympic qualifying standard by 0.07 but still an incredible result. He’s now lowered his PB by 28 (!!) seconds in the last two weeks.

6/6! :bowdown:

 

Ethan Katzberg with another win at the Meeting International de Forbach, recording a best mark of 80.12m! For someone who’s been on the road for the past week, competing at four meets in different European countries, that’s a good sign for Paris. I will add that the 2nd place finisher Chaussinand was less than 1m behind though.

At the Bob Vigars Classic, highlights include Duan Asemota with a 0.10 PB, clocking 10.03 in the men’s 100m (1.9m/s wind), Ibrahim Ayorinde with a PB of 46.57 in the men’s 100m, Jacqueline Madogo and Sade McCreath 11.21 and 11.28 (although 2.0m/s wind) in the women’s 100m, and Zoe Sherar 52.01 in the women’s 400mx

 

Also we saw the return of Newman, and although she could only manage a 3rd attempt clearance at 4.30m it’s still too early to be worried about her.

    • Alpine snowboard is by far the most shown discipline on Eurosport/Discovery in Europe. If it's not clashing with a bunch of other things, they are showing the WC starts live.   Snowboard cross would be the next in line and they are showing starts, but they are fewer and if it's head to head with alpine, alpine will get the advantage.   Halfpipe is occasionally shown and it's usually only some of the NA rounds, when it's the evening here and all other winter sports stuff is over. And they are not showing snooker, golf, cycling etc.    Big Air / Slopestyle is practically non-existent, never shown, unless it's some weird BA in November in the middle of nothing.   And it's the same picture in the Freestyle skiing. Ski cross is the most shown and probably has more races televised, than all other disciplines combined. Halfpipe is so-so from the rest, with BA & Slopestyle non-existent again. Moguls & Aerials are dead, at least i can't remember Eurosport showing their WC events on TV.   This just shows the complete division between Europe and North America. I don't think there is a single European country which prefers airing (or training) the technical disciplines than the racing ones. Which is the complete opposite than what it has been in NA.    
    • Team Event     I have come up with a quick team competition to allow me time to organise it in the short amount of time I have between now and the Grand Final. I will come up with some names for each team in the coming day (hopefully ).     Nations will be divided into 10 teams of 3 and 1 team of 4, making 11 teams in total. For the team of 4, one of those nations will sit on the bench for each of the 4 sessions meaning only the scores of the other 3 nations of that team will count towards the team competition for that particular session. (Canada will sit on the bench in session 1, Denmark will sit on the bench in session 2, China in session 3 and Mexico in session 4).   Teams were assigned based on voting position to help distribute when each team has a voting member as evenly as possible between each session.   The team event will be an elimination-based event where the scores of the team members will be accumulated for that session or quarter and the teams with the lowest combined score will be eliminated and play no further part.   Scores will be reset to zero after each quarter but in the event of a tie-break, the team with the highest ranking in the previous session will win the tie-breaker.   In the event of a tie in the first round, all teams involved in the tie will be advanced to the next round.   See details below about how many teams will be eliminated after each quarter     1st Quarter: 11 teams Top 9 teams advance to next round   2nd Quarter: 9 teams Top 7 teams advance to next round   3rd Quarter: 7 teams Top 5 teams advance to Final   4th Quarter: 5 teams No elimination         Q1 Pts Q2 Pts Q3 Pts Q4 Pts 1  Team 1 0  0  0  0  2  Team 2 0  0  0  0  3  Team 3 0  0  0  0  4  Team 4 0  0  0  0  5  Team 5 0  0  0  0  6  Team 6 0  0  0  0  7  Team 7 0  0  0  0  8  Team 8 0  0  0  0  9  Team 9 0  0  0  0  10  Team 10 0  0  0  0  11  Team 11 0  0  0  0 
    • OK, won't spoil the outcome yet.    The most interesting relay in who knows how long and it was after lunch on a working day... It's idiotic that the Germans don't have the weekday starts in the evening, when people are OFF WORK. If i was advertising i'd be fuming it's not at least at 18-19:00...
    • Took me 2 tries, but I got through the 2nd time around
    • One of the best-ever Women's Relays this afternoon in Ruhpolding.  Unfortunately stuck away on a midweek afternoon so not many people will have seen it.  Must watch though.  No spoilers yet!
    • The IOC is very TV ratings and ticket sale focused when it comes to sports to add / drop, seemingly. Which is probably not the best metric to use, but it does explain why alpine snowboarding is in more trouble than something like aerials or ski half-pipe (which should probably be closer to the chopping block if we go by competitive depth).
    • Thursday January 15th, 2026 - Round-Robin Day 3 Schedule (GMT +1)   13:00   Japan vs France 16:30   Denmark vs Norway 20:00   Italy vs Germany
    • all races are shown on public tv in places like Italy, Austria and streamed all around the Continent on the Discovery+/HBO Max popularity, instead, is another story... except maybe in Austria, tv ratings are marginal and the athletes are basically unknown, like in all the non-mainstream sports (which means, here in Italy, football, ferrari and -the newcomer in the last few years- Sinner, who replaced Valentino Rossi in this very poor list)   ps at least, there are quite a few kids practicing the sport in our mountain villages
    • Finally got in as well after about an hour-ish in line.
    • Nobody in the US watches it is the problem the IOC has. That and it's kinda dead as a grassroots sport - I ski and I've only seen one Alpine board in my entire life. It was displayed in a store as a curiosity and it was *old*. Much easier to participate in snowboardcross at a recrational level.   I don't think it should be removed, but Alpine snowboarding has a perception problem as a dead sport, at least outside of Europe (I don't have a good sense of how often Alpine snowboarding is shown on TV in Europe and how popular those broadcasts are).
