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

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
