It looks like you’ll be cheering for the  girls @hckosice

 

Same happened in Lillehammer, we choosed I don´t know why the Girls team and it ended by a failure. At least Sebastian Čederle saved our asses winning our only medal there in the boys skills challenge competition

Well according to the ranking they’ll be in the hunt for a bronze medal, and maybe even a chance at the final.  could have chosen a men’s team still, but I don’t think they were looking forward to playing the US, Canada, Finland, and Russia.

Alright, this is some old news, but it seems I forgot to post it as well. Here is the official medal design for the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics

It’s not super creative, but there just didn’t some to be a lot of amazing entires in the “design a medal” contest this time around

I like the medals. Nothing too weird or fancy or hipster, just simple and relatively clean

IDK if this is a mistake, but the FIS has listed  as interested in a ski jumping quota  (though no ski jumper is in their biographies list from Colombia).

 

This reminds me when FIS had listed being qualified in freestyle skiing in 2012...

I did notice this when looking through the lists a while back. There were quite a few countries with odd interests from what I remember.  could have also been looking for a slopestyle quota and got lost in translation.

Something like this must be it, I really, really can't imagine Colombia having a ski jumper in Lausanne. I'd be thrilled if I'm wrong though.

Well they’ve already allocated most of the quotas and  hasn’t received one and they’re not on the reallocation list. I’d just say it was a mistake.
