Monzanator 3,811 Posted October 16, 2022 #171 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Nordic Combined itself has become kinda unpopular and it's reduced to a second-rate sport these days. However the American NC has totally regressed compared to the 90s and 00s. Is Steamboat Springs still operational? Geraghty-Moats would be better off trying in freestyle skiing. This is where USA finds it's winter sport niche in XXI century outside of alpine skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobtheAggie 340 Posted October 26, 2022 #177 Share Posted October 26, 2022 For those who care, the Alpine Cup Schedule is out. 17-18 December - Ruhpolding - Sprint on both days 7-8 January - Lenzerheide - Sprint, Pursuit 11-12 February - Ridnaun-Val Ridanna - Sprint, Short Individual 17-19 March - Pokjuka - Sprint, Pursuit, Short Individual France has announced they will not be sending any biathletes to these events this year.

Monzanator 3,811 Posted October 27, 2022 #179 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Let's hope it won't be too confusing with Norway? Not like we should expect the Fialkova family team to keep up with most of the Norwegians anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted October 28, 2022 #180 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Mari Eder will be back this season. Marte Olsbu Roeisland looks to miss the first stop in Finland and really seems to be struggling deciding to continue or not. Silvert Guttorm Bakken will miss the first three stops due to heart issues. Looks like Dale will get his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
