Why?

 

because if France blow out their race there's a small chance more for Italy to make the podium (which is still a very, very remote chance...but you never know)...

and don't forget the traditional rivalry between ITA and FRA...if I say that I hope FRA goes well, I could go to jail and be tortured...:yikes:

just joking, of course...;)

Well, everyone that knows me on the forum probably knows that I love stats and I love going back in time, so this time I was considering who is still active in the world cup from the previous winners that haven't won a race in a while and how long it's been since their success. I think that is fairly interesting, so let's start with the women:

 

Anna Frolina - :RUS:KOR - 2008/09 - Antholz - Pursuit (1)

Magdalena Gwizdon - :POL - 2012/13 - Sochi - Sprint (2)

Selina Gasparin - :SUI - 2013/14 - Hochfilzen - Sprint (2)

Synnoeve Solemdal - :NOR - 2013/14 - Hochfilzen - Pursuit (2)

Anais Bescond - :FRA - 2013/14 - Antholz - Sprint (1)

Katharina Innerhofer - :AUT - 2013/14 - Pokljuka - Sprint (1)

Veronika Vitkova - :CZE - 2014/15 - Oberhof - Sprint (1)

Valj Semerenko - :UKR - 2014/15 - Kontiolahti - Mass Start (2)

Franziska Hildebrand - :GER - 2015/16 - Rupholding - Sprint (2)

Ekaterina Yurlova-Percht - :RUS - 2015/16 - Antholz - Pursuit (2)

Olena Pidrushina - :UKR - 2015/16 - Canmore - Sprint (2)

Anais Chevalier - :FRA - 2016/17 - Nove Mesto - Pursuit (1)

Nadine Horchler - :GER - 2016/17 - Antholz - Mass Start (1)

Denise Herrmann - :GER - 2017/18 - Ostersund - Pursuit (2)

Justine Braisaz - :FRA - 2017/18 - Annecy - Mass Start (1)

Tiril Eckhoff - :NOR - 2017/18 - Antholz - Sprint (5)

Vanessa Hinz - :GER - 2017/18 - Kontiolahti - Mass Start (1)

 

Well, you can mostly see a pattern that the athletes won only once or twice in their career, a lot of the wins came from Antholz and not a single (last recorded) win came from the individual. As for the men:

 

Michal Slesingr - :CZE - 2007/08 - Oslo - Mass Start (1)

Dominik Landertinger - :AUT - 2009/10 - Khantiy-Mansiysk - Mass Start (2)

Fredrik Lindstrom - :SWE - 2011/12 - Antholz - Sprint (1)

Evgeniy Garanichev - :RUS - 2011/12 - Oslo - Sprint (1)

Dmitry Malyshko - :RUS - 2012/13 - Oberhof - Pursuit (2)

Ondrej Moravec - :CZE - 2012/13 - Oslo - Mass Start (1)

Lukas Hofer - :ITA - 2013/14 - Antholz - Sprint (1)

Jakov Fak - :SLO - 2014/15 - Khantiy-Mansiysk - Mass Start (8)

Simon Eder - :AUT - 2015/16 - Rupholding - Pursuit (3)

Erik Lesser - :GER - 2015/16 - Rupholding - Mass Start (2)

Dominik Windisch - :ITA - 2015/16 - Canmore - Mass Start (1)

Anton Babikov - :RUS - 2016/17 - Ostersund - Pursuit (1)

Benedikt Doll - :GER - 2016/17 - Hochfilzen - Sprint (1)

Simon Schempp - :GER - 2016/17 - Hochfilzen - Mass Start (12)

Arnd Peiffer - :GER - 2016/17 - Kontiolahti - Pursuit (8)

Tarjei Boe - :NOR - 2017/18 - Ostersund - Sprint (9)

Julian Eberhardt - :AUT - 2017/18 - Kontiolahti - Mass Start (4)

Henrik L'abee-Lund - :NOR - 2017/18 - Oslo - Sprint (1)

 

Fairly evident that German hopes and dreams are destroyed by Johannes and Martin. Quite a few multi-winners like Tarjei, Arnd, Julian, Jakov, Simon with a year or more since last win. Some surprises for me: Bescond, Vitkova, Doll only on a single win. Lastly, it's been a very long time since Landertinger last had a win.

Greetings All, first post.

Quick question for all of you.  I am wondering about those who are confirmed that are not going to Canmore or Soldier Hollow.  I think that I have seen that Russia, Belarus and Sweden have said that they are not attending, as well as Martin Foucade.  Are there others that have made the announcement?  Thanks.

Hello RobtheAggie, welcome to the forum. :hatoff:

Tarjei Boe has also announced he will not go to Canmore and Soldier Hollow.

Poland will field the best team in USA/Canada. The plan was to take Anterselva easily (esp. in Hojnisz's case).

Just like in 2016 when a bunch of teams did not go to Canmore and Presque Isle, We had some unexpected winners.  With the lead that JT Boe has, I would be very surprised to see him go.  With Fourcade announcing that he will not go, that would make the top 3 not coming if JT Boe decided to not attend.  On the women's side, I would be very surprised to see Laura Dahlmeier competing due to health issues.

Reminiscing from my recent winner stats, it's actually utterly crazy that there are only 5 women on the tour that have won a world cup race more than twice.

 

So many retirements left a lot of space for new talents to shine and with some of the greats underperforming, we already have five new winners.

Lithuania had mixed plans about the stages in Canada and USA, but at the moment, it seems that we are going to be sending our strongest athletes, simply due to not really having anybody else to send as well as unreliable nation cup positions.

To be fair, if you're a small nation and you somewhat have the financial resources to at least make this trip, you'd be utterly stupid not to. It is the chance to score some good points :p

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
