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...

    • More highlights   21.89 WL for  Gabby Thomas in the women's 200m at the Kip Keino Classic,  Cambrea Sturgis not far behind in a huge PB of 21.96    Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage continues his strong stretch of form with a 89.28m effort in men's javelin throw, just off his NR of 89.37m  Sinesipho Dambile with a PB of 19.77 in the men's 200m   10.03 PB for 18 year old  Gary Card in the men's 100m at the Penn Relays
    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
