I'm so sick of the ton of (mostly Russian) people spurting their bullcrap on Twitter about how we should never again have these 'rotten overseas stages' because there's some cold trouble now. :facepalm:

Or the even worse reason I've seen: it's not convenient for European fans because of timezones :lol: 

 

Like you're even a real fan if you don't watch at 20:00 because you have to drink with your friends or whatever :p 

Were they complaining when Russians got caught for doping ?

Agree, anyone who can't watch it is not a real fan.

As a US based fan, I love the idea of the races in North America.  What the IBU is doing is trying to build the sport in the Americas.  I get it from an economic perspective.  What they are faced with is an odd schedule.  Because of the distance, it makes most sense to have two weeks in one.  Because of the distance, going there every season is a little hard.  Because of the three set races in December, the timing gets tricky.  I guess that you could make them the last two races after the World Championships.  That would work, and would actually get a higher quality field.  

 

And for what it is worth, the next two seasons schedule is already set - No Russia for the World Cup, or the IBU Cup for that matter.  They are even shut out from the Youth Cups as well.

The rest of the future schedule:  No Russia at all.  I do not know how far out the IBU usually makes the schedule, but this one seems to be specifically far out to deny Russia an even to host for a long time.

I wonder how weak the field will be this week in Utah.  

I know the Canada stage had to ruin my chance at seeing any good athletes

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
