The auto-translated website says this athlete is a 'superstar' and won a junior world championships medal, but this athlete is nowhere on the IBU database? This German article also mentions a silver at the 2021 junior worlds....but the actual results of the 2021 junior worlds show absolutely nothing with his name...

I'm starting to wonder, may they be mentioning the wrong sport or something? There is nobody with a name remotely close to this who got a world junior/youth medal since 2016...

The JTB dominance is so big that individual races are just about the only real hope he doesn't win 99% of the time. Might be the only thing that prevents IBU from killing off the best event of the sport.

 

Even FIS gave up on trying to pretend cross country isn't a Norwegian championships and nobody gives a damn about watching that clown show (other than maybe women's sprint where Sweden holds it's own).

A short individual in world cup. Interesting.

Meh....that's fine for IBU Cups, but not in the World Cup, it doesn't add anything. Just like the insanely confusing mass start 60 shouldn't be in the World Cup, or the nonsense super sprint...

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

    • Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.
    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
    • and another medal. in Road Race this time.   Bronze despite a face crash in the middle of the race, her 5th medal of the year, 4th from 3 different sports World Championships
