Never mind, those are results from 2020, I'm blind :lol: 

 

The Norwegian federation site linked to that and I hadn't noticed their mistake :p

There is no novelty here, however it's still fun to see Lebanese women grabbing generous 140.80 FIS points for nearly 30 minutes required for 5 km free.

I wonder, are Cedars the Lebanese Alpe Cermis? :p

Cedars must be a super easy track, considering some of the athletes who are participating there :p 

 

But yeah, this thing with 140 points is one of the main reasons why it's good Olympic qualification isn't solely based on FIS Points List anymore :p

This applies to all FIS competitions, but I feel like it's most relevant in cross-country. FIS has just announced full implementation of the fluor wax ban starting next season.

About time, IBU has already had it for a while now (with countries being penalized as well for breaking this rule....yes, hello Brazil when IBU saw a bottle of fluor standing in your wax cabin :lol:)

 

I believe in the Toblach World Cup FIS was busy testing everyone's skis, specifically saying one would not be penalized yet if fluor was discovered, because they wanted to test their detection methods. Seems like it worked :d

Jess Diggins interviewed on eating disorders. I know that Norways pull athletes from competition once they develop symptoms.

Last season's distances confirmed as keepers, and the process to have them at the World Championships and Olympics as well has started. So hello to also the title races for the men's interval being the semi-joke 20k, but at least also hello to the women's 50k. It has good and bad sides: the bad obviously being the shortening of the men's interval and skiathlon, but the good side being the lengthening of the women's mass starts (which not a lot of sports would do).

 

Also:

 

The FIS Point System - that was approved in 2022 - will be efficient as of 1st of July 2023.

 

Any idea what they mean? I can't find anything about a specifically different system being approved last year, but also the Brazilian federation has mentioned this as something that will affect their way of qualifying for 2026.

    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".     
    • Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds
    • From my experience it is better to go by what they intended rather than what was written. The point being is that should the United States be in a position to take the Pan American quota, the quota will be reallocated to the world qualifiers.   It can be a bit frustrating, but these documents aren't exactly written to define what happens in every scenario, even though they should. If someone from the IOC/sport federations are here, I'd love to proof read your documents . 
    • Team Casper is headed to Milan-Cortina!!   Lots of misses by China throughout the match, some of which were just bad luck.  Thrilled for Danny and company.  Glad they don't have to play another game
